I have now sorted through all the photos and so if you feel like being completely bored there are two sets.  One for Australia and one for Japan, these include such nuggets as some great Japanese to English translations,some hump back whale photos (one of them breeching the water) and other weird and wonderful things that we saw on our travels.

Enjoy!

  1. Open the Moet from my party
  2. Play Buzz
  3. Put on her wedding dress

As it was her birthday we all obliged, in fact I felt a little left out and went and put on my wedding suit.  It was a brilliant day and Katie had an excellent time.  Now all energies are devoted to planning Katie’s 30th Birthday which will be a joint party between and her auntie Sara (who will be turning 40).  At the moment the current theme is a roller disco.

There’s a link here for the photos, I also setup a webcam in the living room to do some time lapse photography.  It was running for about 12 hours and below is the party summed up in about 12 seconds!  I think I should have taken a few more though to make it last for at least another 5 seconds.

Then Katie took me shopping and spoiled me rotten (she also was the most patient  person in the world as she waited while I tried on clothes.  I’m not very good at it but I think its man thing).  We met Gez & Anglea Mangela in town and headed off for some tiki crazy golf and then headed into to meet up with Bob and Becca for some drinks, tapas and karaoke (I discovered, I rock ;) )and shape throwing in the reflex.  Brilliant and if that’s not enough this Saturday I have my party and even more presents.

There was a small bit of bad luck that my mum, dad and brother were supposed to be coming up from Wellingborough to join me for a meal but sadly there was a massive accident on the M6 and they were stuck in traffic between junction 4 and junction 5 for about 7 hours.

Becca created a list (which I have slightly modified) to celebrate me being 30, here’s a list of 30 things about yesterday.

  1. It was my birthday and I am awesome.
  2. I was wearing a tshirt with yoda on it, yoda as a DJ

  16. Singing “I love rock and roll”
  17. Being a backup singer for “Easy Lover”
  18. I made friends with a guy in Relfex who thought I was the best singer ever
  19. I did a MC Hammer dance to “Can’t Touch This”
