Thanks very much for the birthday wishes, everyone.
Might be halfway to 50 now, but I sure don't feel it! XD
It was actually my brother's birthday as well (we're twins), so the pair of us took a trip to the MetroCentre in Gateshead for our annual birthday ritual: a bowling match. It was a close call, but I just edged it, 90-87. Who cares about the winning though, it was just good to actually go and play it.
We also had a meal at McDonald's, completing with an exploding milkshake, and also had a look round the shops too. And that was pretty much it.
