Well, this blog is written with mixed feelings. I’m now professionally older in years than when I started this trip. Yes, the grand old age of 24 has reached me as of 23rd June. On the plus side, this means I’m one year nearer to wiping that pesky student loan at 65, one year nearer some kind of highly amusing mid-life crisis, and one year nearer to retiring on a porch in the sun drinking port with a Labrador at my feet and a pipe. However, I still feel old. Hey ho…everybody laughs at this, so I will too.
The actual event of birthday is catalogued in the accompanying pictures and basically involved small time - but jolly fine celebrations, with minimal cards, cheese and biscuits as presents (much saluting to Claire for concentrating on the essentials) and candle laden cheesey nachos instead of a birthday cake (no idea why so many people like to have cake when they could have perfectly good cheesey nachos - the small minded fools). Into the bargain we had a balloon fight around the front room, had much singing and dancing and a few cheeky beers (some courtesy of the Speights beers rep at
work).
Clearly a night in a few selected ale houses had to follow and these included Morrison’s (scene of one of the gigs last week), where I played a few very ‘loose’ renditions of some of the Um Bongo songs.
Homewards called and then bed, before an early wake up call to be back in work the next day. Thankyou to those of you who commented / emailed me, and ya boo to the rest of you. If you didn’t know you’re excused I suppose.
Soon there should be some pics of the Winter festival, Marc and Claire’s Queenstown departure and of course life without Liquor King.

Dude Photos don;t work ya big tez. Happy birthday chief. What do you mean you're nearer to smoking a pipe and drinking port. Been doing that for years. P.S after 24 people seem to expect you to be all mature and stuff. Monkies I say
