A Brilliant Day.



 
Roberto Matta.

It really is colder today, now the weather is gradually becoming more like winter weather.

On Saturday night the clocks will go back one hour, something that I find really regrettable because we miss seeing the lovely autumn sunsets.

Again this is a situation that I can do nothing about so I'm not going to let myself become upset by it happening.

We've had a really good day, our good friend Anja came to visit us as we had requested week.

As it is her 50th birthday on Monday next week we wanted to give her presents as well as a cake.

Richie made a lovely chocolate cake which had home-made probably jam in the middle and chocolate icing over the top decorated with fresh raspberries.

The cake looked delicious, and we are both hoping that Anja and Erik, her partner as well as their son Bosse will enjoy it.

Anja looked very pleased when we gave her the presents and the cake and we will also very pleased and happy to be able to do this for her.

She is a very special friend and it is a pleasure to be able to give her pleasure as we seem to do this afternoon.

Now I'm looking forward to the delicious dinner that Richie is cooking for us and later on there is good music on later with Jools Holland on BBC two at 24.30 to make the day even better.

What A Wonderful 60th Birthday..

Today has been a very good day; it started of by Richie giving me lots of beautifully wrapped presents.

Lovely rings, 5 of them and two necklaces and matching earring and three bracelets, lots of pretty things for me to wear and enjoy.

Great fun, looking forward to wearing them all, nice to have pretty new costume jewellery.

Then Richie got me ready for my physiotherapy session with the lovely Mathilde, who brought me a present, of a little tub of Tamarind balls.

After the physiotherapy session Arden and Rob were back with a beautiful birthday cake from Holtkamp, the best baker in Amsterdam.

Before they left another friend, Toos came by to wish me happy birthday, quite special seeing her today, as she doesn’t like birthdays.

I received lots of lovely ecards and birthday greetings on Face Book; a beautiful orchid was delivered sent by dear friends from Wales.

This evening not long after Richie got me into bed, the phone rang, at first I did not have a clue who it was.

Turned out it was a very old friend of mine whom I had not spoken to for years, the last time I saw him was in 1993, so no wonder I did not recognize his voice.

What a birthday today has been and it is not over yet.
