Congratulations and felicitations!
Jan. 30th, 2021 06:02 pmMum has turned 89 today. Beware her virtual rose bouquet, sent via e-mail from the German side of the family:
I got her a big bag of Lindor chocolate balls, myself. She's very fond of those, and the flat is already so full with knick-knacks that we no longer buy each other anything that couldn't be eaten, drunk or used for beauty purposes.
Other than that, it was a quiet day. She got half a dozen phone calls from old friends, old colleagues and from Little Emma's grandmother. As expected, the rest of the family didn't give a sh*t, but that wasn't much loss. We don't, either; although one would think that the only one still alive from her generation would have deserved a bit of caring. But we're related to selfish idiots, mostly.
