Our new car is a week and a day old. The good people at Orange have finally given me a company car and here it is. Take a good look folks because it will never be this clean again. Ever.

30 Years Old
Almost a month has passed since I last added to my blog, but it has been a good one. The obvious highlight was my 30th Birthday. For those who don't know, this momentous day was a week and a half ago, on June 30th.
As had been planned for some time, Fi, Mum and Dad, Jay and Marie and myself spent a week and a half at Jim and Patsy's home in Spain to celebrate. Jess and Marla, Rach and Paul and Griff joined us a couple of days after we had arrived to complete the grandeur of the occasion.
Much time was spent lounging by the pool, lounging in the pool and lounging on the pool, courtesy of a few 4 Euro inflatable things. This was mostly accompanied by a drink of some description. Typically San Miguel, but we all discovered the amazing Ron Tobacco, the cheapest rum in all the land! Apparently 'Ron' means 'Rum' in Spanish. I like to think of him as just plain Ron and his honest 'Tobacco' Rum.
Other than lounging, we spent a bit of time doing the tourist thing in the Costa Brava, driving around, lying on the beach and, as you'll see from the following link, taking lots of photos. We also got an opportunity to go sailing for a day. Jim's friend Mike invited us all out on his boat. Mum and Patsy declined with boats not a particular love of theirs, but the rest of us snapped up the offer. I was of course particularly keen to follow on from my recent success in the Orange Regatta :o) Needless to say it was an absolute blast.

As a final word for the time being, I was entirely overwhelmed by the cards and gifts I received for my Birthday and I'll use this as another opportunity to thank everyone for all their generosity. You know who you all are.
