Birthday wishes

As the clock struck 5:35pm I hit the big 30 - the 'baby' of the family has now begun the approach to middle-age!

No parties were scheduled (or sprung on me) so it was a quiet affair with just my folks. I did get to play with my new toy though, choosing to try out the 'sportsman' mode on a willing participant - a local pigeon. he made an excellent model.

Oh, and the birthday wish? To be able to ride Everest again soon. Who knows, it may come true next month.
