Happy Birthday to me!

I turned 30 last Tuesday! I've made it a custom to take the day of my birthday off, but this year I took the whole week off instead - I ended up sitting around playing Red Alert 3 to the end - fun times :)

Last Saturday, we had my girlfriend's sister and her boyfriend, and her parents. We ordered in veritable Chinese banquet, and I got ridiculously drunk - fun times again :) I suffered badly for it on the Sunday of course, so that wasn't quite as much of a fun time.

Despite receiving a card from my parents for my birthday, I've yet to actually hear from them in person - there's been no contact from them in weeks, maybe even months now, and I've resolved to wait and see if they phone, and what they say if and when they do. I say 'they', but i really mean my mother, as my father only phones when there's something he needs.

Still, no great loss, if I'm honest.

One last thing - i thought I'd share pictures of the birthday cake my girlfriend had made for me - enjoy!
