Happy birthday to me.......

....despite my best attempts to prematurely end my life through high risk sports, too much alcohol, overly rich food, drinking in Leith pubs, and other hazardous pursuits, I've managed to claw my way to 40 years of age today.

I'd like to thank Mum, Dad, Mrs Scobes, Owen and all of my friends and family (living, dead or insane) for their love, companionship and patience with me and the rather quirky, odd persona I've become.

We're off to my favourite place in the entire planet this afternoon for a weekend of relaxation and good cheer with family, some chums and the good burghers of Drumbeg. I'll be out of Blip range until Monday or Tuesday so you lot behave now!

My birthday card from Mrs Scobes summed it up.
