What can I say?!


For once, you won't have a proper photo today, but a big Merci instead! Believe me this has been a long day, as I am very busy at my office at the moment and as I also had to attend a business dinner tonight. That is why I did not yet manage to answer everyone on Facebook (I will...) and I will not even start here! I'm always amazed and touched by the number of people from all over the world who wish me well on January 21. Like I said many times here, it's because I feel I'm surrounded by lovely people that I continue this blog. So, don't stop! Next anniversary... in March, for the 5 years of PDP! Love you all.

  4. Awwwww!!! That's really cool. You should make cards or print out of that one and call it Eric's 50'st bday. I bet they sell real well :)

    You're welcome. You should definitely take a blog-day off, after all it's your B'day! :)
