Hello dear friends,

Another year and another number added to my age.
Thank you all so much for making my birthday even more special with all your wonderful wishes.
This also includes everyone who has sent me a PM, Mobbsie, Cristi (Christikc), Martin (McDood), Sam (Samueljr), Al (Cuda1949), Christian (Barbossa), John (John46) and Edwin (Edmay).
It means a lot to me that you all took the time to wish me a happy birthday.
And I feel very blessed to have you as my friends. This was a beautiful day.

And for those who want to know, this is where we had dinner.
In our favorite restaurant Grand Café 't Oude Raedthuys in Schiedam.
They have a great cook, delicious food, wonderful staff and very good service.

 

Anja

Happy Birthday Anja! :36:

As someone told me years ago, it's just another revolution around the sun... some days that thought makes me feel good... :)

Hello Randy,

 

Thank you very much. Another revolution around the sun sounds much better then adding a year to my age.

 

Anja

 

Happy Birthday and best wishes!

Hello Buck,

Hello Kester

 

Nice to see you here. And thank you, I did have a great day.

And as for all the work .... It is my pleasure.

 

There will be some wind tomorrow coming from the south, so I will follow Mobbsie's advise and stay on the starboard side of the ship and out of the wind.

 

Thanks again and take care,

 

Anja

No Popeye, nothing like that. I saw a beautiful lamp though on the warrior, but it's still hanging there in the cabin.

 

 

Hadn't thought of that Popeye, I'm gonna have to do an inventory check now. :D  :D

Don't worry Mobbsie, you'll find everything still in place. But I did find an extra birthday present in the suitcase SEVtria033.gif

 

 

hope Sjors didn't settle on that bus!!!   hard to get on the boat!

He was allowed to sit in the driver seat, but not to take the bus home with him. He wish!

 

 

I'd check the shop for the Aggy :D  :D

Luckily for our wallet we didn't see any model shops around.

 

 

Welcome home Anja. Thank you to both of you for taking so many pictures for me.

Thank you Grant. It was our pleasure. It was just a pity the masts were removed.

Thank you Aldo. I hope the cake was to your liking. And don't worry, Sjors won't cast a powerful spell. His magic wand needs recharging FImagicien006.gif
