A year older but none the wiser

I celebrated my 29th birthday last week, it was a good celebration, a party at the bungalow with pretty much everyone from work in attendance. I had hired a bouncy castle for a bit of fun, this was beginning to concern me days before as everyone had pretty much earmarked someone they wanted to rugby tackle off the thing, thankfully it rained and we all like each other really!

The party itself took place the day before my actual birthday so I spent the the first sober hours of being 29 in the usual flattering state of having my head over a toilet and in the dark no less as some idiot had broken our light the evening before.

We were discussing where we'll be next year for our birthdays. Luke's will hopefully be spent hiking up to an Everest base camp(this depends on getting into Nepal which depends on how flexible our India visa is on multiple entries). Mine will be spent in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam drinking snakes blood in a small, dingy, Vietnamese voodoo bar which lets face it is much cooler anyway.

I have my passport sorted at last, it took around a month but it is here, the next task is to go to the nurse to get my jabs done around the 25th of this month (payday) and around the same time head to Manchester to pick up a few bits and pieces, most importantly a backpack for Luke!

So there you have it we're still alive, still excited, still despising our jobs and under 150 days away from the Colosseum.

Things I'm enjoying this month include Mad Men, Fifa and Mountain Dew.

Peace
