Birthdays!

[wiseheart]

Mum has turned 84 today. Her lady friend of 51 years came over for lunch and they had a lovely time, chatting about old times and current family issues. I gave her a huge fruit basket with an ananas, a pomelo, an orange, a pomegranade (or whatever it is called in English, I can only remember the German word), bananas, mandarines, kiwis and apples. She was very happy with it. I'll also buy her a ticket for our charity ball at school - we'll sing on it, and she likes to be among people. Besides, I'll have to work there half the night, and that way she won't be alone.

Accidentally, January 30 is also the birthday of holcz_agi, my no-longer-so-little Silvan girl, who's turned 25 today. Amazing where all that time has gone. She was barely 9 when I first met her. We briefly talked on the phone, I'm glad she's doing so well.

Congratulations to your mum! 84 and young at heart :) The fruit basked sounds wonderful, especially now in the winter--you'd better not make any mistakes singing at the Ball though, she'll be right on you!!

She would, in a moment! She's got a freakishly good musical hearing, for all that she barely hears with her left ear!

Wish them both lots of birthday joy and cake from me!

Thank you! :)
Cake is always good, and we never have any guilt about it - even though this time I made a trifle, not a cake.

Trifle is good, cake with yummy extras!!

Indeed! And it tends to gain an enormous mass, which is a good thing in my book! *g*
