»In which the weeks pass like hours

Wow, I received an email invitation to view an online photo album yesterday, and, because I did not recognise the sender, the name of the baby in question, or really anything about the message, I ignored the service's request to sign up.
Today I looked at the full envelope of the message, and realised: this is an old, dear friend of mine, and she has married, changed her name, and had a baby (a cute one, at that, and a year old now!).
