Stephan NeunerHey Eddy, herzliche Glückwunsche zum Geburtstag! Du kommst ja auch so langsam in ein Alter, wo 'hapoy' und 'bjrthday' immer weiter auseinanderdriften 😉 ich wünsche Dir jedenfalls Gesundheit, (das ist die Basis von allem), Glück (kann man nie genug haben) und viele schöne Momente (daran arbeitest Du ja offenbar gerade recht erfolgreich). Ich werd heute abend ein Gläschen auf dich trinken, freue mich auf viele tolle Bilder aus Vietnam, und das mit dem Feiern holen wir noch nach, wenn Du wieder nach good ol' Germany zurück kommen magst 😜😎 cheerio, Stephan
