Half-time?




Right, I might be one of the weirdest people on this planet, but I have recently come to realise that I am actually really looking forward to my birthday this year. The reason this seems weird is that I am entering the 4th decade of my lifetime. Yes, it's the big 4-0 and I am not afraid to say it.

40 and fabulous!






Hey, I might not be beautiful or rich, but I believe I've had a pretty good life so far. Not always easy and happy but some great adventures and a lot of laughter on this journey. I have made some wonderful friends along the way and can always rely on my family. Especially my lovely mom totally rocks!



I have great things planned for the big day itself:

I'll be flying to Frankfurt the weekend before to meet with my wonderful friends there. Then Sunday and my actual birthday Monday will be spent at Europapark Rust (apparently Europe's largest theme park) with Manu and Kathrin, the bestest friends a girl could wish for. Monday evening we'll meet with my parents, who will come down to Freiburg especially for this occasion, for a birthday celebration dinner and I will then stay on in Freiburg and explore the Black Forest together with my parents. How cool is that, eh? I can't wait!


And even coming back to London the jubilations will continue stupendously with a Royal Ballet performance of La Fille Mal Gardée with the amazing Marianela Nuñez and Carlos Acosta. What a great week that shall be. Whoopee!


Sounds like a week-long party to me. Splendid!
