standards are slipping ...

[ramtops]

I opened a bottle of Premier Cru Chablis tonight (well, it is my half century today ..), and it had a *plastic cork*. I'm sure lots of people will tell me these are better for all sorts of reasons, but I don't like them.

we're not doing anything to celebrate my birthday today - we have a *major* site launch to be ready by Wednesday morning, and I woke up with a very painful chest, which is turning itself into a nassty cold.

but we shall have friends round on Friday, then off to dinner on Saturday with cdc and Liz, WANOLJ, and then over to Ciren on Sunday to collect a kitten cage from valkyrie_k and landsmand.

so tonight is a mega takeaway from the Chinese that delivers (god bless 'em) and a DVD or summat, before dragging my sniffly self off to an early grave^H^H^H^H^H bed. No presents - himself and I don't do birthday/dead prophet's day presents, preferring to a) eschew the commercialism, and b) buy what we want when we want it (if we can afford it, of course).

oh, before I go, one of my birthday cards from perlmonger was a "Congratulations on the Arrival of Twins" thing.

no, I'm not pregnant - but TWO arrive at the beginning of December, god help us.

right then - now to write up the extraordinary thing that happened today.

Happy birthday! (A little late - it's taken me a few days to catch up.)
