Happy Birthday to Me
33 today, 33 today...

Ahh birthdays. I generally try to have the day off on my birthday and enjoy the day in some fun exciting or general selfish way but this year it falls on a Java MIDP (java software on the mobile phone) training course, which someone compared to a tax seminar, but which I compare to a great deal of fun....big geek that I am.

So it was that my birthday has come to pass and I have spent the day coding mobile phone versions of the FetchMeMovies DVD site, creating simple games for the phone and getting it to send SMS messages to itself.

The day started with wifey giving me the most wonderful hand knitted scarf that she had been secretly doing for ages (no photo yet but I'm sure Suze will post one). Then off to breakfast at Cafe Sweethearts for yummy pancakes with Oskar and Jasmine which was just lovely. Then Java training and back home to an enjoyable quick dinner and standard weeknight things. Oskar had made me a magnificant lemon cake which we've all just had small pieces of and he sang happy birthday to me and Jasmine managed to say "Habby Berdy" to me which made my night.

Oh and Suze gave me another present, she'd framed my Gold Finger poster so I'll have to find room in the office for it now.

A good day indeed, even if I have been weighed down a little by twits at work.
