Thursday, September 22, 2005      The Aftermath

Twenty nine. I'm shocked, and I'm pretty sure Mum is shocked. Another birthday has come and gone, my second in London. I had a blast on Saturday at my drinks - excellent turnout, after my worries about no-one coming, there was about 25 or so at its peak. Maybe they were all enthralled with my invite.

Yesterday I got my presents - tickets to Rome [Oct 2nd], a book on graphitti and a barrel of chocolates [2.2kg of Favourites - no complaints there] - all this from The Girl. Kids from home [bless them!], packed an Aussie Post box full of Tim Tams [is there really that many flavours!], Haighs Scorched Almonds and some coffee from the place we used to go during work. And a card with a guy with a mullet - an obvious hint. Phone calls came thick and fast in the morning from all corners of London and Adelaide - screams of Happy Birthday, thinking that being that loud will make sure I hear it being so far away.

A loss in basketball didn't hamper anything [14 points still!], and then the long journey on the tube back for a lovely take away meal and a few of those chocolates. Another present awaited -- Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels DVD - excellent.

All in all, it was a blast, love to all of you who thought of me, came to my drinks, sent me emails, smses and presents. It's nice.
