Birthdays

Two very dear friends celebrate birthdays on June 14th, one is, as Germans love to, celebrating into her birthday*, the other is taking a full week either side of her birthday to welcome her 50th - hence a plane load of us arriving in Brum tomorrow...don’t say I didn’t warn you

* meaning that we have to stay and drink until midnight to wish her happy birthday, because otherwise it’s “bad luck”...**

** the boogymen will come getcha
