aww :) thank you!!
It was a rather nice day, though very busy at my office. I got more hugs today than in the last 20 years together LOL (but I suspect that they must last for the next 20 years too, heehee)
My colleagues raided the archives and found a few quite terrible photos of me :D Rubber trousers are not really flattering items of clothing.
And I was absolutely perplexed at my present. It's a custom at my office to donate a little bit for a present when someone has a round birthday. Usually it adds up to something around 150-200 Euros ($200 - $280). The amount varies, depending on how popular the person is. From a part of the sum the colleagues buy a present, the rest gets packed up nicely and covers the costs for the big feast the person who had birthday donates.
I got a season ticket for the flower show and a lovely round glass bowl with a bit of silvery sand in it and pretty shells that surround a little treasure chest. Little blue glass fishies hang on thin wires fastened to the upper rim of the bowl. It's very pretty=)
And the treasure box contains more than 230 Euros. *gasp* If you add the price for bowl, fishies, ticket etc. the donated sum must have been around 300 Euros ($400) ! I think I set a new record :)

By the oldtimers at my office I got officially welcomed into the silverback club :lol:
And a colleague who has a very pretty garden gave me a huge Hemerocallis (daylily) plant =)

Oh, and I just discovered a sleeping Easter Bunny in someone's sig at Nationstates. Isn't it cute?:

AH HA!

For once I am NOT late for one of these.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, huggle!
Tim (needs lighter): ...and none of you smoke.
Art (looks at armada): Nobody smokes? This is Kentucky, not Sausalito. What's wrong with you people!
(per capita in KY toss a cat u'll hit a smoker! So that's where Justified puts the fiction in the show.)

Happy Birthday, huggle! Image

I'm glad you had a great day and set a new office record. You're obviously the most popular person ever. :D

Nice bunny, too. 8)

Thanky you!!
You are not late at all! Here in Bavaria we say it counts as long as the person who had b-day hasn't eaten sauerkraut. I had baked potatoes with cottage cheese and ham =) No kraut at all. :D

So if you never eat sauerkraut, your birthday never passes, and you never get any older! :D

oooooooooh! I never thought of that! It explains why I look a decade younger than I am. I have Kraut only 4 or 5 times a year.
