Happy Birthday to Roger! We got up late, and after a leisurely breakfast, went for a walk in the sunshine.
As usual, Roger headed for chess after lunch. Today, he gave himself a birthday party at the chess club. He told the host that today is his 60th birthday and he wanted to buy everyone tea or coffee. He forked over a 20€ bill and the server, who is also a chess player, brought trays of tea and a few coffees, and gave those present their choice. When it was gone, that was it, but everyone who usually plays chess there got a cup. There is a guy who hangs around the chess tables a lot, but doesn’t play chess. He asked if he was to be included in the refreshment, and Roger told him “yes,” so he got his cup of tea as well.
In the meantime, I went to Carrefour for pork roast, as Roger wants pulled pork for his birthday dinner. We managed his dinner while still holding mostly to our low-carb diets.
We check the mailbox almost daily, and most days it is empty. Today, however, there was an envelope containing a Valentine card from the three Richards and a birthday card for Roger from Brennan, signed with an incredibly smooth-looking “X.” That kid already has a really steady hand!

Brennan will be coloring in the lines by the time he's 6 months old!
No! Let him express his creativity as he chooses! Do not confine him to coloring within the lines!! ;-D
