HAPPY 40, Brigitte....

If you´re having working-colleagues like us - then you´re in real troubles...!!!... :-)
Imagine, you´re having your 40th birthday - and the whole bank-team is coming to your home at 4.20 a.m. to throw fire-crackers outside your sleeping-room-window....
...what is a "nice" and old tradition here in Austria - especially in the small villages outside the towns...

We met at 4 a.m. - "armed" with baskets full of breakfast for 10 persons (2 bottles of sparkling wine, fresh bread & rolls, jam, butter, ham, cheese, coffee and a cake) - drove out to the small village called Selpritsch - and then we tried to wake her up with about 12 - 15 fire-crackers. - But it did not work perfectly - only about 4 crackers did explode - but she has already heared us walking towards the house...
Then - after a more-or-less nice "Happy Birthday-Song" - we had a nice and extended breakfast - with lot of laughs and big fun! - At 7 a.m. we left her home to return to town and open the bank - hopefully not too much tired this working-day....
