well, finally made it to the age of cheaper insurance! Twas a fun day – a pic of my excellent chocolate cake courtesy of Madison will go up later! – but twas yum. Thanks to everyone who sent cards etc… really lovely out here.

Out to comedy and dinner with Glynn and Maeve. The comedy was pretty good really – well the comperes were – the Blackstreet Boyz. Yeah, pretty funny blokes – beware anyone who stood up in the middle of their act. There was a pretty funny juggler guy, he did some excellent hat routines – rolling them down his arms – across his shoulders – all that sort of thing.

Mind you, I wasn’t impressed with his Diabolo skills… well.. not the ones he displayed anyway – he did the easiest (yet most? impressive trick) – flick it way up into the air and catch it again. Easy. Honestly – it’s about the first trick you learn. I’ve been trying to teach myself contact juggling again (watch Labyrinth) – and that’s just damn hard. Still – he had a good routine.

The second act was pretty bad – depended far too much on the audience participation – and they weren’t participating… – it was a sorta Siamese twin act. Original though I suppose :)

Then out to the long stone I think it was – a sorta meat-fest establishment, where we ate a lot of food, had a few beers.. few cocktails, and finally home.

Yeah, all in all it was an excellent birthday – really great to have friends as good as Glynn and Maeve over here, though it was odd to be quite so far from a Dublin pub for my birthday.
