31 Today

[Shaun Hately]

Actually, technically speaking, it was yesterday. But there were 
severe storms last night which prevented me coming online so this 
update is coming today.

I had a reasonably good birthday. In the morning I treated myself to 
a treat.

I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire again - Gold Class. 
Gold Class means reclining seats, waiters bringing food and drinks. 
Really cool. I also had a frozen custard sundae - a Caramel Crazy. It 
was most yummifying.

In the afternoon, I went to my 'surprise' party (I must give these 
kids more training in secrecy). This was thrown for me by some of the 
kids I mentor with the assistance of their parents.

Presents... well, the PC I am typing on was one of them - my mother 
paid half its cost as a birthday/Christmas present which was very 
nice of her. Besides that...

A set of D&D dice (I can always use new dice)

The Parent Trap on DVD (The original - and still the best. Hayley 
Mills was just about my first crush - I was devastated when I worked 
out she was old enough to be my mother.

Absolute Balderdash - Balderdash is one of my favourite boardgames 
and Absolute Balderdash takes things to a whole new level.

Where's My Cow - a wonderful Terry Pratchett written, Melvyn Grant 
illustrated Discworld Picture Book.

Not a bad stash.

After my party where I had pizza, I came home... and had more pizza! 
Laced with garlic. Hmmm... garlic, and sat outside and enjoyed the 
storm.

And for desert - Mango and Pineapple Pavlova.

Yours Without Wax, Dreadnought
