KW's 30th anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated KW's 30th Birthday. Therefore I went up to the W4 on saturday morning. I was a little bit late because I had to pick up my sisters doorkey from her place and I even needed to buy a ficus as a birthday present. I arrived at my homeplace around 1 pm and then had only about a hour to prepare the gift.

KW invited us two months ago and he wanted to do a barbecue. As the weather conditions in August were not the best I feared that it would rain but KW had good relations so it was the best day for the last 14 days. Sun was shining and the temperature went up to 27 degrees. Nevertheless I know the W4, so I took with me a second shirt and a coat (what a wise decision).

Past 2 pm I went up to KW's place. I arrived the moment they tried to take a group picture. So I hopped in the crowd. Then we started with a beer and KW's dad - the barbecue master - asked the guests to pick up some grilled meat, mushrooms and sausages. They offered salads and bread as well and I enjoyed the stuff at all. Afterwards we were forced to eat kind of a birthday cake.

As KW is a shutterbug he took nearly 1000 pictures this afternoon and night. We had big conversations and lots of drinks. And when it was then dark KW started to hold a speech (you could even see and hear that he was close to be drunken ;-) The speech was taped on video and a lot of other nonsense was taped.

The guests with children left earlier and around midnight the others tried to start going home. It took a little bit longer to say goodbye to them as there were games like 'we leave after this beer, we leave after this drink, just one more cigarette, etc.'. So at quarter past midnight I was the last one left (I needn't go home by car). We talked about one hour and then I decided that it was time for me to go home because I didn't want any more beer. So I hugged KW, kissed his girlfriend Doris and said goodbye to his brother.

Getting up today was hard – good party KW!
