Last week on November 8 it was my birthday. And like Dutch people do, we celebrate this event.
What does that mean, the birthday girl is working the whole day with preparing cake, and dinner and other food, and the family is sitting and laughing and talking together. It's so much fun being the birthday girl:-)
However, I did the expected thing and in the end everybody went home satisfied and full of food.
I've got nice birthday presents, two books, one of Valerie Poore, I don't know if you have heard from her, she a really good writer, with stories about South Africa. I was very pleased with this book and I'm going to read it soon. The other book was the 50 shades of grey, I had heard so much about this book (and the other 2) that I have to read them myself. The book is there, now I have to find time to read.
Further more a book gift voucher and gift vouchers for ICI Paris, I think they didn't like my smell:-), lot of flowers two envelopes with money I can spent for what ever I would like to have and Jan Cees have gave me a nice closed forever bracelet. So you see, I'm spoiled.
