Birthday and Christmas Smells

Today was my middle's 17th Birthday and as usual the celebration was mixed with the preparation for Christmas which we like to celebrate with fervour. The house is therefore full of delicious baking smells revealing the ethnic mix of our origins and our current home.

This unique mix of Zimtsternen, Vanillegipfeli, Mince pies and Samosas and the numbing effects of G&T and white russians set the relaxing tone for the evenings celebrations at the local Chinese restaurant. I just hope the lingering cold doesn't destroy me before the day is over.

All this jollility has forced me to at least make the home page a little more seasonal and jovial. Hence the new theme complete with new photo (from this year's holiday in Bali).
