My Birthday

It started with an office kick-off of 6:30am to finalise a proposal that I have no chance of winning and ended with ....... well, go have a look at www.noneofyourbusiness.com.xxx

In between:

I had calls from the usual suspects after my lovely renditions of Happy Birthday by nieces and nephews the day before. Well, Grace only made it through the first two words before being lost in admiration for the pink tutu she was wearing and despite Lacy's best efforts to swap it with a dinosaur, Ben was lost in admiration for his Tinkerbell figurine (both with and without a hat). If anyone knows what Jasper and Jack were saying, please share.

I received some awesome Bose headphones from Mum & Dad, I received a Laphroaig 25 year old from the Squeeze, some great clothes from Wife 2, a red packet from Parents 2, "the cheque is in the mail" from Sister 1 & Sister 2 and a surprise ice cream cake, again from the Squeeze. And a slice before dinner!!


We went to Japanese for dinner where I had a couple of firsts.

Genuine and freshly ground wasabi root. The whole root is rubbed against some sort of glamorous sandpaper and voila. The consistency is the same as the stuff you normally get but more yellow and with an infinitely richer flavour. Lots of heat, but not the same "nose-heat" you get with the synthetic stuff.

Fugu. We had a deep fried version so am not really sure what it tastes like except what we ate was impeccably seasoned and we lived to tell the tale.
