My birthday: the guests are invited.

Ever since the pandemia began, the government has decided that there are limitations on how many people must be in a certain place. Now that is a loose rule in spite of the monkey pandemia which has not reached here yet. But I decided to have 2 parties. One, near my birthday, with most of my friends. The other, a bigger one, with my best friends and my family. So on the evening of Saturday, June 11, I´ll have 5 people here. We will be 6, 2 couples and 2 ladies (Alejandra and I). Alejandra always asks what I want for my birthday and I think that I´m past that stage. But one birthday I was brilliant and asked each of the guests to bring me a LED bulb. So now all my house has LED bulbs and I spend a lot less in electricity. This year I will ask them to bring a an indoor small plant. I´d buy them myself but the difficulty lies in going to where they sell them. I want to replace some of the plants I have under the stairs. I will not be able to invite one of my best friends. She is lost in another world I don´t know if she has Alzheimer´s or something like that. But after all, she is by far my oldest friend, being 84 years of age. Now I´ll make a list to see what I need for the occation.

Good idea to ask for LED bulb, this is what we have in the whole house now, it's a lot better and those bulbs last longer.

And it was a gift with a very reasonable price.

@marguicha This is true, I buy all my LED bulbs at Ikea, very good quality at low price.

What a great idea for gifts. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time and it's great to have two parties. We did have limited numbers but not any more.

At my age there are a few things I need. It was a good idea.
