Last Saturday in September is usually Oktoberfest day in our company. For decency´s sake our boss cancelled the event because of the unexpected death of our colleague. A heroic decision, considering how the administration has bungled the rest of that sad incident. So no Oktoberfest for me this year? Way off the mark! Hubby decided to organize a fete at our house, with the entire family and a few neighbours. He forgot about son no.four´s birthday. Well, not about the birthday but the yearly party that comes with the birthday. All at once we had two Oktoberfests taking place at the same time in our humble abode, one for prospective pensioners (haha) plus family and friends, the other one for teenagers. Lots of Oktoberfestbeer, Bavarian veal sausages, Bavarian meat loaf and a hostess who fell asleep at ten amidst her guests without having drunk a single glass of beer. That´s me to a T. When I´m tired I fall asleep, no matter where, standing, if necessary. I was the only adult who took an early bath. Guess who won the race and lived it up till the wee hours of the morning? Teenies were off to bed much earlier!
