Thank you Fianna for an amazing evening, a delicious dinner and a magnificent view (of Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower). Yes today was my birthday. Just in case you are wondering I still woke up with a 5 minute cold shower, did 4 mins of plank and did not have any alcohol even at my birthday dinner. I was wondering if I could give myself a blog day off as a present but that was not part of my initial deal so as you can see that did not happen.
Why people say Happy Birthday or Joyeux Anniversaire are they implying that my 364 other days of the year must be sad? I wonder what the standard phrase in some other languages in Vietnamese or Inuit is it the same phrase? And should it really be addressed to me rather than to my mother? (I'm quite sure it was a bigger event in here life than in mine, certainly as far as memories are concerned).
Well having checked it seems that in Vietnam everyone has the same "birthday". Your age changes every year on "Tết" day and you start at 1 which is not a good deal since that would make me 57.
