Random burblings since 1999
Officially it’s tomorrow, but Happy Birthday to my Gran. 85 years young and delighted with the ‘vibrator’ she got as a present (it’s a foot massager, really..).
I’m slightly hungover so it must’ve been a good night last night, and no, I don’t want to talk about the rugby.
This may, or may not, be the last time I post use Blogger *sniffs*.
Hope your weekend was as good as mine.
My mate, my best man, my taller than average friend celebrates another year on the planet. Happy Birthday Keith!
Note to our friend Stuart: Keith’s birthday is today. Mine is next month. Just so you don’t get it wrong… again*
Anyway, have a good one Keith, and as soon as I figure out what to buy you I’ll get it in the post! (I’m guessing the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD is already ordered, right?)
Happy Birthday to Eddie.
And no we hadn’t forgotten and no it didn’t take a reminder from Outlook (and my phone) to alert me to the fact, sending me scurring to the nearest shop to get your card. Honest.
What?
What? You mean you are getting bored with all this music and T in the Park stuff?
So, what have I been up to? Well this month is a nightmare for us, so many birthdays! Niece Megan (Happy Birthday!!), nephew Mark next week, our mate Ian last week, work colleague Kirsten (Happy Birthday!!), and then we’ve got another work colleague leaving (Claire), another getting married (congrats Irfan!). Of course most of these collide – Kirsten/Megan, meaning I’ll miss dinner and drinks tonight for Kirsten (unless we can catch up with them later, although it’s generally NOT a good idea) – Mark/Claire, another night out that I’ll try and tag along to later on…
Then the in-laws arrive on the 21st to stay with us for a few days so we’re busy making sure the garden and house are ‘up to standard’ (the garden isn’t thanks to all this flipping rain!) as you do when parents visit. They are over from Spain for six weeks or so to escape the heat, so there will be BBQ’s and dinners and stuff to do whilst they are over.
Ohh and I really need to get my tax return in before September (don’t laugh, it’ll creep up) and need to investigate the mortgage as I’m sure the fixed rate period ends in August.
Aside from that, I’m currently reading Sir David Attenborough’s autobiography, and very interesting it is too, more on that later (if I remember).
Ohh and my parents just left for a week in Portugal, so I’d better remember to phone my Gran tomorrow night.
It’s my darling wife’s birthday. The most important person in the world grows another year wiser. Luv ya babe!
Happy Birthday Jen!
