And there it is, another full year has passed since the last time I celebrated my birthday. I must say that it becomes a habit to have party on this occasion. This time it was at our place, BBQ on a very sunny day with friends and family around.

What else would you want on that particular day? Ha yes, a cake! And not the one promised in “Portal” but a real tasty one. Well, we went to De Baere this time to get something nice that would be appreciated by everybody, not a monument of chocolate for once, but something more fruity; in this instance, strawberries. I must say that it was a great cake even if a bit heavy for this weather…

That is it, my mind finally settled for the Nikon D90.

My friends and my little sweet bunny all participated to this birthday present and I have to say that I am very happy!

Now I have to learn how to use it properly and make amazing pictures :-)

And so we celebrate the 179th birthday of this little country with parade, concert and fireworks! It has been a while since the last time I had a chance to go to this event, usually as it is a day off, some other things take place and the television serves as the relay of the event.

Although we had a slight shower (which is a traditional here), the overall day was absolutely great. I even had the chance to shake hand with our Prince, Phillipe as he was passing by the park.
