wiseheart... and I've turned 62 today. Of course, if you look at it from the opposite direction it's only 26, so I can live with my age. *g*
Anyway, we had a nice little celebration with the choir after rehearsal, with cheap apple juice and even cheaper wafers - but we had fun! The choir sang Hallelujah (by Händel) to honour me... and because that's what we're learning right now for the Christmas concert, but ÁM, our choir leader, declared that this time it was for me. Works for me.
Mum and I ate the last piece of the World's Ugliest Opera Cake for supper and we drank the strawberry liquor (all 100 ml of it) that we'd bought in Krems a year and a half ago, so it was very festive. As a rule, we drink alcohol 4 times a year: at Christmas, Easter, her birthday and my birthday.
A colleague of mine gifted some very pretty craft papers on me (yay!) and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_wild_iris texted me to congratulate and to tell me that a parcel was on its way. Let's hope it doesn't get lost (or stolen) like last year. the_wild_iris makes the most inspired gifts, often fandom-related, so I'm very excited.
Other than that, I don't really feel any difference. 62 isn't a milestone or whatnot, even if it was (hopefully) the last birthday I had to spend at work.
