Parties, surprise and otherwise...

It's the time of year for birthdays. Andy's was June 30, Dad's was July 3, Paul's was July 6 and Rachael's is this Tuesday. Last week we went to Thai Balcony with my parents, my brother and Jenny to celebrate Dad's birthday. I'm still not 100% convinced by Thai food. I liked what I had, but was very safe in my choice of Red Chicken Curry... I'll branch out next time and see how I fair. After our meal we went back to Mum & Dad's house and had cake. Lovely.

Last night was Paul's surprise 30th birthday party at a pub/restaurant called The Ring O Bells. There was considerable planning by Rachael and some moments during the planning when the cat was almost completely let out of the bag. As it turned Paul had an idea something was going on and so was only mildly surprised. The night was good anyway with Rachael's step-dad's band playing two sets - plenty of Hendrix and The Beatles, very good. Marla made a massive cake, which was very well received and all in all the evening went very well indeed.
