So my first birthday abroad (no, not as a broad, that was an odd year in my med-20's...). Given that 1 US Dollar = about 1/2 a British Pound, I figure that I am only 6 months older. Also, with the time difference, I don't turn older until 3:30 AM tomorrow morning...I love time zones!I woke up this morning and opened the card which Frank; he kindly included a UK itunes gift card! Woo Hoo!
I moved into my new flat yesterday...it is really nice. Still getting thing sorted out and need to unpack (and IRON) and all but the place is fully furnished so really only need to get incidentals at the moment (oh yeah, and food!). I did some of that today, along with getting an overdue haircut. I had Fish & Chips for lunch (mmmmm .. fried stuff with salt and malt vinegar:) ) then came back and had a nap. I slept well last night, but I was still pretty tired.
I also spoke with my folks today...they aren't internet connected and didn't figger out how to call me so thought I'd call them. Jim also called (on my US phone...damn International blocking!). Was really nice to hear his voice.
Time now to get ready for my dinner with mates over here. Will be good to see familiar faces after a few years. Given the way nights out can be with this crowd, I might actually still be out at 3:30 AM when I turn!
Ta for now!

Hippo birdies two ewes!
The G-man and I were going to call you from P-town on the day, but between time zones and cocktails it got too confusing, and since I'd already sent email wishes we decided to spare you the entirely too expensive drunken lunacy. Speaking of which...
Happy Saint Patrick's Day from Boston!
Let the eye-rolling commence. LOL!
Sorry I missed your birthday. Was at the Alley twice this weekend and it's not the same without you there. Mark said to say hello and Happy Birthday from the two of us.
