In honor of my birthday today, I'm going to get my annual mammogram. But in the evening there will be a party. My devoted niece sent me a wonderful greeting in which she quotes Helen Hayes: "Age is not important unless you're a cheese."
Is it a coincidence that Oma's first grandchild should be quoting Helen Hayes? Oma's favorite Hayes-ism was, "Old age is not for sissies," although perhaps that one did not originate with Helen.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The bad news is: one of my friends missed my party because she was taking a nap(!) The good news is: she felt so embarrassed and guilty that she's taking me out for sushi tomorrow. And I love sushi.
Ach, the one day I don't turn up, you go and have a birthday ;-) Hope it was a happy one.
Good God, I fully missed it! Oh S., I am so sorry! I have been avoiding your site for the reasons I quoted a while ago for Dale and Paul, I can't quite read The Stories now, and bcs of that I fully missed it! I am truly sorry, so so sorry! Bloody hell this sucks rock.
Happy birthday, 5 days too late.
