A Few Words From The Birthday Boy

Yesterday was my birthday. I am now 24 (making me the same age as Troë, and once more a year older than John).

Thank you so very much to everyone who send a card or present or e-mail, or who called or posted a comment wishing me a "happy birthday". I really appreciate it.

I had a decent birthday - overall. I had to work all day and it was the first day of a huge new sale, and only our third day with a brand new till system. And both of my managers had the day off. So work was a mess.

Afterwards, though, we went out to dinner at Coriander (the great local Mexican restaurant) with a few of our new friends: Hannah, James, Annette (teachers from Troë's school), and Keely and Kirsty (two girls from Beales). Dinner was great and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

The day just wasn't the same without all of our friends and family around, but I still enjoyed myself. We miss you all, and thanks, again, for letting us know you're thinking of us too.
