Today is my dear colleague’s (known to some as my imaginary friend Nicholas) birthday. We had cake in the morning and the afternoon to celebrate. Such fun…though will be less fun to explain “slice of carrot cake and slice of chocolate cake” to my pilates teacher next week…I’m sure that’s the first thing she’ll “adjust.”
But I so enjoy celebrating birthdays in Brussels. It’s one of my favorite things about life here. I love that you get to bring your own cake to the office to celebrate and plan a gathering of friends. Maybe it’s because, for me at least, half the fun is picking out the cake and planning a wee-party…and the other half of the fun is seeing all your favorite people come together. And if they happen to bring presents with ribbons---even better!
