wiseheartFirst of all, I'd like to thank everyone who came to my virtual party two entries ago. I had a great time, and the most comments I ever recieved in the 4 years since I'm on LJ, my previous record being 35.
My special thanks go to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ithilwen, altariel1, the_wild_iris, rcfinch and glitterboy1, who made the effort to send people to the party. I met a lot of new folks that way and enjoyed the experience immensely.
Further special thanks toarchet for the birthday ficlet (good to know that some of us still love Elladan and Boromir together) and to lhun_dweller for the Darkangel-trilogy (which has just arrived half an hour ago). You guys are way too generous. :)
Now, I promised to tell you how the real party went, haven't I. Well...
It was actually very lovely. We've made way too much food, as usual - it's a family trait to panic that our guests would starve - and so we're going to eat the leftovers for at least a week, but that's not so bad. It's very good food, so we can live with that.
My student at school were very sweet. One class has volunteered to teach their own lesson, so that I won't have to work on my 50th birthday. Okay, the main reason was that they wanted to have fun, but that was okay. Another class has secretly organized a birthday cake and one of the girls remembered my favourite kind of chocolate, back in summer, and brought me a bar from Germany, keeping it in storage until my birthday. The third class has signed a birthday card, and one of the girs has hand-made a bracelet for me, from glass pearls.
Yesterday, my cousin's wife and her sister have called from Germany, proving the old truth that your best relatives aren't the ones you're related to by blood. They thought of it, even though they are having enough problems with their father, who's very week at the moment. Given that he's beyond 80, that could be dangerous. I hope all will be well with him, he's such a nice old man.
Once again, thanks to everyone!
