as von and julian have departed last week we are no longer in a hurry to have a party, and this weekend is out because addy and dennis have gone to bangkok. next weekend, though, i will be at my translator's course, and the weekend after is chinese new year weekend, which was when i thought to have it but we are now going to have visitors till saturday...so the party is postponed indefinitely, although if we're all not still engaged with new year visiting and other family affairs we could have it on the sunday (fourth day of cny) which yen says can also be a slightly late birthday party for me too. does that sound good?
