Paul and the funny sides of life....Turning 82 today!

 

1. Trara, birthday again....!

 

2. Jetzt echt? ....No kidding...?

 

3. No, no kidding! So again:...Trara!

4. The paparazzi are already waiting....

 

5. With a lookout placed at a strategic point

 

 6. Who the heck we have to look out for...?

7. Help is on the way..."He is already a big guy..."

8. Yes, and he plays with coconuts!

9. He is supposed to eat lots of veggies!

10. He likes crocs!

11. And bees and bikes....!

12. No, he is not yet coming...!

13. He keeps his composure even in stormy times!

14. He knows how to relax!

15. He shares at least one big passion with cats...

16. He likes jokes...and funny situations...


"Come on,guys, it's not that deep" - Jacob, surely you are an ass hole"

17. I think he will find this funny....

 18. And that one too...!

19. Actually, one does not really need to live with women to be an Iron Man...

 

 20. Although sometimes women can be funny too...

21. He is English, so he might not understand this one...

22. Moral questions are his daily bread...

 

Stop this nonsense, you too!

23.  Watching movies can have unwanted long term side effects....


24. ...and nightmarish experiences....


25. That's why our guy is more into watching news channels...

 

26. He sort of likes statistics...on the basis of life experience.

 Oh, boy, can't you just go over the water. - I call it River Dance, daddy!

27. Doing the exceptional and every day jobs with enthousiasm as if it were for the first time...

 

 28. He is definitely not into fishing


29. But always interested ....


30. ....in science


31. By the way, did we mention that his birthday is in winter....?

 

30. He likes to debate too....

 

 31. But he is definetely not into politics....

32. He will like that one....


33. An undisclosed source insists on more dog cartoons as the birthday kid likes dogs!

 

34. That's not a cartoon!

 

35. Not that good, as no Helen here. And his dogs never needed making up themselves to be walked...
 

 
 36.  Dog philosophy
 
 


37. Who said that dogs have never second thoughts about acquiring food...?
 

 
 38. Whereas others seem to be sometimes just a bit ungrateful...


39. See...
 
 

40. With dogs it's a complete different story...
 

 
 
41. Ever so polite.... 
 



42. And only using empty bed sides...
 


43. Smart they are...


44. See, so smart....
 


45. In fact, with a horse in a bed his life would have been different...

 

46. Life is sometimes not just...
 

47. How good that we do not have obedience schools in Rodrigues

 

 48. On our island we never ever discuss dog breeds...


 49. Nor potty training

50. Nor do we have pee pads

51.He prefers pragmatism to drama


52. And comedy to pragmatism

 53. He talks to his dogs

 

54. New technologies have impacted his life here too...


55.  Since 2003 we have mobile phones on the island...

 

 56. He has got a smart phone just 2 years ago but would not know how to use all the apps


57. What are selfies?

 

58. He feels more comfortable with computers

59. Fortunately ordering stuff with Amazon is sort of impossible on our island


60. But it is undeniable, there are limits too in this field 
 

 
 61. I dare to say that this was not age related - they  certainly did not get the memo...

 

62. Whereas eye sight is a whole different story....

 
 63. And teeth....

 

64. Youth is not everything....

 
65. He is far from asking himself this kind of questions...
 
 

 66. " I confirm, I have been knowing him (and his teeth) already for two birthdays'
 
 
67. We went through exciting times...
 
 
I don't know. They just followed me.
 
68. In order to avoid such situations he avoids wearing masks whenever possible....
 
 
69. Instead - he was one of the first in Rodrigues to get vaccinated 

70. Parcels and birthday cards had a hard time to get to him...

All the best! - Cake? Cake? Cake? Cake? Cake? Cake? Cake? Cake?

71. However good wishes do not know a pandemic....but what about cake?

 

72. In the end he had one last year....!

73. A star cake and masks in 2020


74.  2021: WHERE IS PAUL???

75. Is he with Brisquette's (who he calls Biscuit) new pups in the new kennel?

 Got him....!

76. Definetely wrong time, wrong place and wrong person. That's not Paul!

77. That's our birthday kid, today....and at Care-Co!

 
78.  And a bit later another cake and trifle at Carine's Café....
 
 
79. Where he was not alone....

 
80. Here with Brinda...

 
81. And here he is with Torsten, another German on the island, and husband of Brinda...


 82. And that is Bertha the car....

And here just a last one for the road, and no, it is not Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath or Deep Purple....


 Not even Sting....

 Paul was more into....

 

 Quincy Jones

 Who would have thought that? 

All our best wishes as every year to Paul the birthday kid who seems to stay ever so amazingly young, may this and the funny sides of life continue for many more years. 

Stay safe, Paul, not only in terms of Corona!
