Birthday

Twenty

Today I gave my mother twenty red roses, even though it wasn’t her birthday.

I got some flowers recently (not out of love or admiration, but oh well). Can't bring myself to throw them away even though they're quite withered now and even a bit mouldy.
Juliane B.
from Mr Arnon ? :-))

Of course. Who else? I love Juliane deeply.
Arnon
When are you leaving for Benidorm?
Arnon
Feel free to form a habit of it. I'd love to get flowers and little presents from all my favourite authors. Perhaps you could attach a note or enclose a letter containing all kinds of flatteries next time.
Subscription
Arnon,
I subscribed to the magazine 'Blauwe maandagen' and yesterday I got the first volume. I right away started reading your mothers diary about your first years. I liked her writing a lot. I hope she got many compliments too.
Now I'm looking forward to your wine.
This summer I will force myself reading other writers again.
Roses, mhm. I absolutely love roses and even though I often like to buy some for myself it's just not the kind of thing you buy for yourself. Getting them is part of the overall attraction of roses - and flowers in general.

Buying roses is like buying a dildo. I prefer to buy it myself and it gives me great pleasure.

I guess I am still in the romantical post-teenage state in which I dream of men buying me roses (and dildos).
