My wife has been cleverly filtering the (snail) mail the last week so I ended up thinking the only people who had remembered my Birthday were the TV Licensing people.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to Rab!

Additionally, does anyone have anything fun planned for the weekend?

[nights] No.

I'm being taken out tonight for a mystery meal. I think.

[rab] Taken all the labels off your tin cans, have you? ;) Slightly belated returns from here too!

[Tuj] Ah, what we used to call The Fabulous Mystery Dining Experience, back when I lived in halls. These days, if I cook out of cans, I'm sneered at by all the French people I know.

(nights) Not surprised; you're supposed to put it in a saucepan. :-)

I planted trees today. And then went dancing. All in all, quite satisfying.

Why on earth would anyone ever want three differently-coloured phones on their desk?

To match their handbag on any particular day, of course. (Well, if Posh can buy cars to match her clothes....)

If it was good enough for Reginald Perrin...
