Thank you, I thought you were gone as well.
This is the first time anyone gratulated Alice to her birthday so it is very much appreciated.
While we could neither fly abroad nor visit the mountains we did enjoy birthday celebrations which traditionally span 3 days and are very serious business akin to what the Easter week is for the catholic church.
I made a cake which was even much better than the one I did for Alice's first birthday, we were outside in the sun, forced, danced and spent a lot of time together. So - while not perfect certainly not terrible. Generally lots of work these days but it's good work we like to do.
