Everything is fine. Don't worry about me, mate. It's actually quite cold. A weak summer so far.
This morning I was just doing the latest arrangements before I leave for France and otherwise I have just been fasting and having a very boring day.

Where does the ineffability of the 12 Imams come from?
They are "messegers" of Allah like Prophet Muhammad [pbuh].
Torah revaled to Prophet Moses [pbuh] but many messengers after him like Suleiman [pbuh] and Davood [pbuh] revealed to bani israle to guide Jewish people and their book was only Torah.
Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the children of israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. and allah said: "i am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my messengers, honour and assist them, and loan to allah a beautiful loan, verily i will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude. [5,12]
but because of their breach of their covenant, we cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for allah loveth those who are kind. 13
In this verse Allah has said we chose 12 Captains after Prophet Moses [pbuh] but only few of Jews accepted (believed) them ! They [their leaders] changed the words from right places except a few of them.
Allah never have left people without "messengers" and leaders.Apostles of Prophet Christ [pbuh] were 12 persons too.
Apostle (Christian) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
o ye who believe! be ye helpers of allah: as said jesus the son of mary to the disciples, "who will be my helpers to (the work of) allah?" said the disciples, "we are allah's helpers!" then a portion of the children of israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: but we gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed.[61,14]
This verse (and also some other verses in Quran) is about "الْحَوَارِيُّونَ" Apostle of Prophet Christ [pbuh] .
Prophet Ibrahim [pbuh] is grandfather of Prophet Muhammad [pbuh]. His son and grandson were "Imams" and leaded people.
And we gave him Ishaq and Yaqoub, a son's son, and we made (them) all good. [21,72]
and we made them "Imams" who guided (people) by our command, and we revealed to them the doing of good and the keeping up of prayer and the giving of the alms, and us (alone) did they serve. [21,73]
After Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] demise 12 messengers exist to guide people. Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] in Ghadir Khum day said: Whoever I am his lord (Mawla) after me Ali [pbuh] my brother and cousin is his lord.

All of Prophets and Messengers were ineffable So messengers of Islam after Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] are ineffable too. They are only chosen by Allah like all of Prophets and messengers.
BTW they "اهل البیت" Ahlulbayt are several times better than all of Prophets and Messegers since they are children of best Prophet of Allah and messengers of Islam after Prophet Muhammad [pbuh]. Thousands hadiths tells us they are not comparable to other Prophets [expect Prophet Muhammad] and the 14 Infallibles are the reason that Allah created universe and best creatures of Allah.
