Birthday in the office

Normally I would work from home on Wednesdays but today I needed to do a few things in the office.

As it is my birthday, I brought cake which amazingly survived untouched until the office. Thank you Wolfram for carrying it.
There were lots of questions regarding this European habit to bring something on your birthday. After all people should be treating you on that day.

Later on, Eleni surprised me with balloons and a small chocolate tart. 

Everybody congratulated me throughout the day.
We had a lunch for the June babies and in the afternoon after an announcement the team sang to me. 

It's great to celebrate birthday at work!

A typical lunch

We all sat down. Thomas is drinking milk. 
Wolfram is eating. Oskar too. I grab my chopsticks. 
Oskar wants to play with them. Then wants to be fed.
I start feeding him.
He has to pee.
We go to the toilets.
We come back and finish his food. 
Wolfram is now feeding Thomas his compote. 
Oskar is done. I grab my chopsticks again and have one bite.
Oskar says he has to poop. (Do not ask why he couldn't poop while peeing)
We go back to the toilets. It's too late and it's diarrhea like poop.
I change Oskar, Wolfram helps cleaning the clothes.
 
40min later: Oskar is fed and in clean underwear, Thomas is fed. Wolfram never finished is noodles and I never started mine.

It's great to have lunch altogether as a family.

Cider from real apples

Somehow my little French brain cannot understand why they need to specify that their cider is made from real apples. Isn't cider always made of apples?
Apparently not in the UK or the US where it can be made from apple flavour!!!!


I miss home and a cider with a crepe or two.
