Last night was special. Tomorrow marks my thirtieth birthday (a fact which, incidentally, I’m not at all happy about) and today is Yan’s birthday too, so yesterday we had a bit of a family get together up in Holburn. Nothing too big- just a meal at a very nice Belgian restaurant – but it was great to see my parents, Luke and Yan. Lyn and I got there early (I have yet to master the skill of estimating journey times in the metropolis) giving us time for a crafty aperitif and a look at the menu. The others didn’t take long to get there, though, and we were soon chatting away, enjoying a meal which might well have a place on this List. The evening came to an end far too soon, and it seemed only five minutes before we were in a taxi on the way home. I do, however, have two odd things to note: firstly, on their way there, the guys apparently bumped into Dominik, our PA, on the tube (a strange coincidence indeed). Secondly, Luke and yan gave me the DVD of the olympics; They seemed to think I was interested in it – now, I wonder whatever gave them that idea.
