birthdays

What is it about birthdays? Every year I get so excited about mine, but would forget so many of others...
This was my first birthday "really living" in a foreign country, okay, not that foreign anymore, but there are still things to get used to. For example that most of my friends are living far away, and that organizing a party here is sooo different, mostly to the lack of space in my small attick...and doing it outside...don't trust that dutch wheater too much. And you are anyway not allowed to make open fire, so forget about bbq.
But I did have a great day, and thanks for every email and sms, it meant sooo much to me!
