Hope you have a great birthday! (Or seeing as you're a day ahead, that should probably read: hope you HAD a great birthday! ;D)  |

Don't worry Gal. You're earlier than I am for most people's birthdays. Thanks again, everyone! The last couple of days have been very good. I never care about birthdays, but I do appreciate them when they happen. We had many of our friends around on Sunday. Michelle's mum cooked up more barbeque lamb and fried chicken than anyone knew what to do with. All sorts of fun was had. Last night Dad and has wife came over for dinner, and we're seeing Mum and her partner tomorrow night. Tonight is rest. As for presents, I'm an absolute pain to buy for. I told people not to worry about presents. I have most of what I want, and I don't want a load of stuff for the sake of it. I'm just happy to have the people around to celebrate. That said: - Michelle got me:
- From Dad, in time for our Winter trip to Tasmania:
- A windproof vest.
- A road altas of all of Australia.
- A ladder from Mum, something we've needed for a long time.
- Mirror's Edge (PC) from Michelle's family.
- Rise Of Nations (PC)
- Quantum Of Solice (DVD)
- A very nice bottle of Penfolds red wine.
- Several gift vouchers for music and DVDs.
- Rasperry chocolate cake flavoured soap.
- More chocolate than I know what to do with. (I'm still working through Easter eggs.)
- Licks and fur from our dog, Alicia.
Now I have a week at work, which is very busy as I'm preparing to go to Ottawa, Canada for a week! We're developing a new project together with a Canadian company. It's for this reason that I'm not even opening the D&D4 book. I won't get any work done if I have game ideas running through my head. Canada is by far the far the furthest I've been from home. The 14 hours time difference should be interesting. And the sun being in the Southern sky is going to upset my sense of direction. Should be fun. EDIT: My mind, fingers and keyboard all disagree on how words are spelled. |

A belated but truthful "Happy Birthday" from me as well ! Edit: If you need some help about Canada, I can ask or introduce you into another forum in which a few Canadians reside (and no, I don't mean the Larian forum). PM me, if you need info. |

Cool, the BD and trip.  When in Ottawa, you should enquire about seeing the tulips if they're still in blooms (not sure, it's a little late so if so it will be stretching the end). If you have questions about there, I can try to get answers so don't hesitate to ask.  |

Ugh, I'm so glad I'm taking Friday off work. I'm going to spend the morning packing, then spend the afternoon chilling out with my birthday presents, particularly Mirror's Edge and Rise Of Nations. Aside from some Mirror's Edge, I haven't had time to just relax lately. Friday night is Avvenue Q, then I have to be at the airport at 5:30 the next morning.

Actually, Ottawa's tulips are related. It began by a present from the Dutch royal family who sent something like 100 000 bulbs. There's more info on Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Tulipfest |
