Candles and a Kebab !
Thanks to all those who sent good wishes over the various forms of modern technology to wish me Happy Birthday today !I had good old snail mail cards, text messages, emails and telephone calls to let me know I had not been forgotten in this far off land !
It was great to talk to you Nan this morning and rest assured that whilst I didn't get a cake this year I did get to blow out some candles on a............ Birthday Kebab ! (of all things)
Russ (the agent who placed me out here) cottoned on that the Fourth of July was the big day and hastily invited myself and Rich round for an impromptu BBQ that was perfectly rounded off by his better half Jacki presenting me with a chicken kebab and candles (in true Glaswegian style)Certainly a new form but welcome non the less ! Thanks guys !

Candles on a kebab. Now that's special!Glad you got to celebrate your birthday with friends.
We had mega thunderstorms here for July 4th and torrential rain. One of my colleagues had his neighbourhood hit by a tornado and they lost 30 trees between about 8 houses including one into a neighbours roof!
OI - any more of those kebabs and I'll have to start the fat boy comments - Happy Birday (belated)!
