(Yes, I realise that I'm also a day late with this!)
It's Izzy's 11th birthday today and Ellie and Rachel couldn't wait to videocall her. The only slight problem was that they forgot (maybe accidentally, maybe on purpose) that timezones exist, and while it was late morning for them, it was very early for Izzy. Something tells me that they're not really that sorry.
Alex is being more sensible and will send his birthday wishes to Tay much later on in the day when it's not stupid-O'-clock in Sugna.
. I've no idea where in the USA Sugna actually is located, but for some reason I've always assumed it on the western coast somewhere, which coincidentally makes the time difference that much bigger.
