I think dad was rather annoyed by my choice to watch casino royale this afternoon. Out of all the films I got today, it being the momentous occasion of my birthday, I chose to see something I have already seen. Well, what can I say? I love that movie, and really enjoyed it this afternoon. Bond is always good fun.

This evening should be nice: the spaggy bog is cooking, the ale is chilling, and I think I just heard mum get home. Tomorrow I’m off to Chester for an evening in the most excellent company of the jonses. Life, I say again, is good.
