Rob and Byrnie's Joint 59th Birthday

[Saturday 21st April]
My how we've aged - and when two friends of yours often celebrate their birthdays together it appears to go twice as fast. Twas but a few years ago that Rob and Byrnie celebrated their joint 45th birthday, and now already they are jointly 59. On the plus side this does mean they're going to skip being (an aggregate) 60 I suppose. In fact a simple facet of maths will mean they'll never celebrate any exact decades in this fashion.

Perhaps harking back to the 2002 event (when they were collectively 49), the venue was a Wetherspoon's pub in Reading.

Prior to going to the birthday do I'd spent a very nice morning at home indulging in various nerdy pursuits. I wrote a bit more of cheese (see yesterday's post), and also messed about with my new (well, not that new any more) phone a bit. I'm relatively new to Bluetooth and similar technologies, and have to say I was really impressed with how easy it was to copy music onto it. My phone then continued to entertain me on the way to Reading, as I listened to said music whilst browsing the web. Brilliant.

I arrived at the pub around 3:30 by which time there were already quite a few people there, and as it was a nice day they were all sitting out the back, which was very pleasant (although the pigeons were a bit on the aggressive side).

I stayed until about 9ish, shortly after Chie turned up, at which point we decided we really ought to get something to eat, so went for some Italian food with Mark and Christelle (not really sure how to spell that!).

On the way back to London the trains to Paddington had all been cancelled so we had to get a replacement bus instead - a bit of a pain but at least we did eventually get home.
