Happy birthday, John!

Edit: okay - here's the promised photo. Better late than never.

Today is John's birthday. I will have to take a picture later on and add it to this post. The boys gave him music, and I gave him a voucher to spend a day driving a tank, a quadbike, a cannon thing and an armoured personnel carrier. He also got a DVD from his family in SA and my Mom sent some money, which he has yet to spend.

Tonight we're going out for dinner to a restaurant called Amici in Bedford (which is where I work - about 20 miles/32kms from home). It's the only place we have ever encountered good steak in the UK. The ridiculous thing is that it's an Italian restaurant, owned by Egyptians! Who'da thunk that you'd find better steak there than at one of the American-type eateries?
