Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag Benno!!!!!!
(is that correct? I have no idea)
Benno may be Buffista Baby Zero as his pregnancy was the first announced here (iirc) and Fiona was deffinately the first person to post "I'm in labor and on my way to the hospital."
Gosh, here I am checking in for the first time after a couple of days offline, and am all touched that you remembered B's birthday! Thank you, kind people (and Trudy, that was perfektes Deutsch).
It does seem very strange to think that it was already four years ago that I was posting about my waters breaking and heading off to the birth center.
B. seems to have had a fantastic birthday; some friends came around in the afternoon and we had a Treasure! Hunt! and a really nice time. Plus had was given Playmobil knights and dragons and stuff, so it's all good.

How does it translate? Happy Anniversary of your birth?
I'm glad he had such a fun day.

Literally, heart-felt good wishes on your birthday. You got the Umlaut right and everything!

I'm afraid that was the miracle of cutting in pasting. All I can legitimately do in German is order coffee with milk and sugar and thank people warmly.

Well, these are all pretty important things too. Especially coffee.
Speaking of which... I'm off to bed now, so goodnight all.
Ein bier, bitte! Danke schoen!
And Happy Belated Birthday, Benno!
And you're a one-trick FayJay?
I can turn all manner of tricks, but after a year working with the US curriculum I'd much rather get back to the UK system - I'm sick of feeling like I need to apologise for my skills and training, and I'd like to keep in touch with what's considered good practise in the UK, and the latest developments, and all that jazz. (You would be surprised by how much teaching methodology and philosophy varies from English-speaking nation to English-speaking nation. I know I am.)
Um.
But I'd like to go to Australia. 'Cept...well, I admire your enthusiasm for Australia's wildlife, but I am a wee bit daunted by the VAST array of bitey and poisonous beasties you have. (Keeping in mind that we have the adder, and that's your lot.) I mean, spiders that wait in the toilet with the specific intention of poisoning your arse. That's pretty disconcerting. Um.
I realise that I am now dead to you, and that this may hinder our attempts to fight crime together.
Australia has spiders that wait in the toilet with the specific intention of poisoning your arse ?
That's like, my biggest childhood fear. I only grew out of it by convincing myself there was no such thing, and now you're telling me they're real?? Jebus.

Well, you can think about rats coming up through your toilet instead, if that helps take your mind off the spiders.
