Dani's birthday- his impressions

Dear friends

You cannot imagine how I felt, starting the internet and looking at something else then our "Whitethorn"-homepage! Angry? - no,  I didn't want to be angry on my birthday. My "grey cells" told me to go on with a click and then I was a little bit angry: You couldn't imagine the time it takes to load everything down without ISDN - and who told, that with 50 there is more time! Anyhow, I was very impressed about all your wishes, thank you ever so much for this surprise.

There were even more surprises in the evening:
Malu did organise everything together with Catherine and Andreas: My dear mother (a little bit older then 50) flew to Manchester to be with me on my 50th. You can see us in the kitchen, waiting for the gala-dinner and for our
friends Andrea and Graham. I felt like a child before Christmas, waiting in front of the door where Saint Nicolas is preparing all the X-mas presents!
