Advancing years

[juliet]

I am 30! As far as I can tell it is v similar to being 29 except that I have more shiny things. uon got me some v lovely jewellery; dogrando is also doing so except it's being made up so it's not actually here; marnameow got me a GIANT MAP & some stickers so I can put it on the wall & put stickers for all my insane bike rides on it! It covers Scotland as well as England so I now am morally obliged to do either LEL (London-Edinburgh-London) or Land's End - John O'Groats. Helpfully, my entry confirmation whatsit for LEL (2009) arrived this morning.

Am off work today, so have spent the morning doing carpentry (construction of table-type thing for balcony. It's not one of my best ever endeavours, but it should stay up), making food (review: om nom nom), revising intermittently for tomorrow's exam, and reading the internets. This afternoon I intend to be very lazy. And to finish putting stickers on my GIANT MAP.

Oh yes happy birthday there. 30 is an advanced age indeed, but shininess makes up for it.

A year and a half in advance? Egads. Way too organised for me.

They were doing a thing whereby if you signed up before the end of 2007, you could reserve your place for £20 & not pay the rest till Jan 2009.

Much happiness, dude. My thirties seem, from smidgeon of experience, to be great; hope yours are.

Happy Birthday, but LEL?!? I'd just get on the train :)

[weatherpixie.livejournal.com]

Good lord! I didn't realise you were so old, or so young :)

Hope you are enjoying it properly.

For what its worth, my approaching birthday also ends with a 0, it just doesn't have a nice curvy 3 on the front!
