Her Twitter absence could actually coincide with a family holiday. Hasn’t she sometimes gone for a prolonged holiday in the past before school begins?

Thank you, Kelly! You are of course right, and the photograph of her birthday cake does look like it was taken on the saloon table of her yacht. On the other hand, holidays don't necessarily mean an absence from Twitter, and we know that Rowling continues to write on vacation.

Isn't it also strange that her header still pertains to Running Grave, when she's finished writing it and it's going to be published? Don't they usually coincide with what she's writing at the moment? Since she's finished, wouldn't it be more in line with her practice to change it to something to do with Book 8, or any other project, post RG publication?
