4 Mars

Yesterday was my birthday as well as my David-anniversary - it was exactly 4 years ago since we met at St Andrew's airport! I'll never forget that day..! One should not dread turning 30, but instead plan for fun stuff that day (e.g. flying lessons). One never knows what will happen. Since 4 is my favourite number (and comes in yet another time: the name March comes from Roman god of war, Mars (and is called mars in Swedish), but is more importantly the 4th planet from the sun), I decided to just notice this ever-so-quickly in my not so very often updated blog.
This cutiepilot of mine decided to give me a Mac Mini for my birthday. I feel slightly spoilt... :) But I love it and named it Mac Mooi (=beautiful in Dutch).
For some reason I was happy like a kid this birthday, already the day before. That's much better than to most illogically resent "turning" older. As if one could change that anyways.
I also now own my very first orchid. Flower-alms from my mother provided that. It's very beautiful, and I'm very happy about it. It's a great addition to my plant collection.
Another awesomely awesome thing was the sushi place my supervisor took me and David to in the evening - Wasabi on Grant. Not a place for students if you want to be full. But full we became, both of the most magnificent sushi, as well as of the most excellent live jazz music. I'd like to come back for that music, but will have to make sure to be full beforehand, so as to not be tempted to get too much of their fantastic food.
An excellent day, in every way.

Monday is deadline for chapter 3.
