I celebrated a milestone birthday on Wednesday and after a delicious dinner with Karine and Jérémie, I was sat down in front of the tv and presented with a video of birthday messages from near and afar - mostly afar - that had me laughing and crying simultaneously.
I've been asked to show the video but I've chopped a good deal out of it for this showing; some things are really personal and I know those friends would hate to be aired publicly, and some messages were just too long to play in full or too full of private jokes that would require too much explaining. All of it meant the world to me.

ps. I got two videos sent from Berlin and couldn't edit either of them. There must be something in the water there... whatever it is, I love it!

Happy belated anniversary! Thanks for sharing a bit of your video, such a lovely gift!!
oh greer, i'm completely bowled over. i felt the tears welling up in -my- eyes watching this! every message is so intensely unique and genuine and loving. these messages say as much about how wonderful you are, lovely greer, as they do your gorgeous friends.

I'm a pretty lucky little chicken aren't I?
Mandy - that's my oldest friend there and she'd kill me for posting even that tiny snippet of her but I had to. It was her message that had me in tears.... And yes - the house is pretty fabulous, up in Mullumbimby.
Jude I have had Ronnie James in my head ever since Wednesday! And I think I dreamt of sock puppets too...
Anne I'm happy that you enjoyed :)
Annie I can say right back at you, tenfold! xx
Lin I was only sad that it was so short because I miss you both. And Luna!
Brittany I do - and thank you! xx
Catching up on all my blogs today and came across your birthday video. How sweet! That song at the end is hilarious! Belated birthday wishes!
Thank you B.E.T. ! The song is priceless isn't it... it's going to take over the world.
This is gorgeous!
