28

28th birthday a few days ago, so went out for some all you can eat/all you can drink teppanyaki with a few people. Along with the oiishi steaku, the ebi, okonomiyaki and other fine foods cooked from scratch right in front of us, we demanded a bottomless jug of sake with accompanying beers. Much merriment was made, especially by Seamus, who was celebrating the conclusion of his first day at work. Too bad his second day of work started early the next morning....

So another year has passed under the bridge. Do I feel older? Hell yes! Seems like only yesterday I was asking people the way to the Students Union in Preston - that was nearly 10 years ago! Retirement would be just around the corner, if ever I had a proper career! And happy birthday also to Simon, who, as luck would have it, celebrates his birthday on EXACTLY the same day as me. Who would have thunk it?

Birthday night with two danish girls and one random beggar. Ain't life grand.
