A cosmopolitan gathering

A big day tomorrow. There will be representation from the above at this special occasion.

I have included the flags of Swabia and Texas (in the top row flanking the German flag) as a nod to the one and a half Swabian aunties and the Texan composer whose special work (dedicated to me!!!) is going to be premiered.

The list doesn't include defunct entities (the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia), and it also forgets to mention that I am actually half Russian and half Maltese. Apparently I should have been named Gozo or Dingli if I'd been a boy. Luckily Mummy's love of dreadful bilingual puns prevailed! (More on that in a future post.)
