Birthday

I managed to survive another birthday, and though it was mostly spent at work in my office on my lonesome, at least no one discovered what day it was. There's not many things worse than workmates knowing it's your birthday.

Mum and Dad came over after work, ostensibly to see me on my birthday (on most years they are overseas on another of their holidays) and to pass on my birthday present (punching bag and gloves - lose some weight Bill!). Dad also brought over a 2004 Tamberlaine Syrah, which was very easy to drink.

For dinner we had pepper steak and sauasages, chips and salad, one of my favourite meals. It was a lovely evening on the Deck, which is where we ate.
