The guests are gone, but I assure you everybody was there, and Michiel also tore out the bedroom floor, oh and yesterday the hideous chain linked garden fence! It has been a tearing out weekend. After this we went to Mimi's, the neighbourhood Vietnamese but über-Canadian restaurant. Last time we were there Mimi commented on us being too quiet. Today she told Michiel his eyes were bigger than his tummy. His Tummy! For crying out loud. Michiel had a durian milkshake. We told Mimi about the "Golden Durian", the Dutch literary prize for the worst book. And that the shake kind of tasted like a bad novel, and still tasted good. Don't know if she got it. The sugar cane with shrimp glop around it was delicious.
Happy Birthday to You! Wat een leuk terasje!
Gefeliciteerd!

En wat een prachtige veranda...
Veranda, terrasje... Porch heet dat! Allemaal nog erg verveloos maar dat gaat helemaal goed komen. Ooit.
Many happy returns of the day. And may I say you act a lot younger than eighty [or wasn't that number put up just for the day?]
Jaja, I realised it must look that way. But it's irrelevant, since I'm over half of that.
Een echte verjaardagsfoto! Vooral het schilderij links-voor met de grote zak kadootjes is prachtig!
Happy Birthday Eliane !
Your House is looking great, did you paint it white too ? My dream is to paint a Toronto house a nice Zaanse Groen ! with the white shutters at each window... now that would look great! Toronto has the most boring Grey/brown houses on earth !
een dag laat maar even hartelijke groet met je verjaardag! Jullie portret is net een schilderij-de ballonen vormen een prachtig lijst! Proficiat.
Woops... my sight seems limited to the top of a page, sorry: many happy new popes and may the force be with you.
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd Eliane! (met porch en verjaardag) (Zaans Groen... jaaaa!!!) :-)
