A BIG Happy Birthday to our friend Walton. Hoping we’ll see you soon to celebrate this occasion in style 🙂

Happy Birthday Chris, hope you have a great time, don’t break either of your ankles again 🙂

Today is his birthday, so assuming he is in this fair city, I am sure we will be celebrating this occasion by having afternoon tea and perhaps going to a classical concert with his wife. Or just getting drunk somewhere…

Well, I don’t which 21st this is (lets be polite, and suggest perhaps the fourth?), but in any case, Happy Birthday from me and Ira.

I hope you manage to get away to Amsterdam soon, and look forward to getting utterly pissed with you meeting up again some time.

Following on from the last post, I have recently got around to re-adding most of my favourite RSS feeds, following the last hard drive failure. So, check these out sometime and let me know if you want to recommend any others. (If there is no comment feed listed, it is because there is none listed on their site, and I was unable to guess the correct URL.)
Kazakhstan Blogs
The Life Of 2Me – Not actually on Kazakhstan any more, but the older posts are still of interest. The newer ones are interesting too, just not on Kazakhstan 😉
English Advantage – English Advantage Comments – Not specifically Kazkhstan-based, but it does get mentioned from time to time
A Momentary Relapse of Reason – A Momentary Relapse of Reason Comments – See the previous post here for more info on this new blog
News From The Caravan – News From The Caravan Comments
Narcogen – This feed URL should filter out his automatic XBox 360 posts.
Bogar – Live Space’s RSS feed defaults to a lot of items, it would appear. Occasionally times out.
NewEurasia – NewEurasia Comments – Both of these are specifically for the Kazakhstan section of the site.
Registran – Registran Comments
Other Blogs
Celt Photographic – Celt Photographic Comments – Not often updated any more.
StarBlog – StarBlog Comments – A mix of German and English posts.
WordPress Guru – WordPress Guru Comments – Ask Owen – Ask Owen Comments – Ugh!!’s Greymatter Honeypot – Ugh!!’s Greymatter Honeypot Comments
I’ll add the feed URL for Alex’s Dryad Musings blog once we have her hosted somewhere properly – the free hosting’s required adverts inserted at the top of each page currently ruin the feed.
Whilst you’re checking out and possibly adding those feeds to FireFox/your favourite RSS reader, don’t forget this blog’s feed and comment feed.

I have just heard from Irina that we are going camping again this weekend 🙂
This is the video I previously posted, recorded in 2006 when we first arrived in Kazakhstan. No humans or animals were hurt during the process of filming this clip, however a few innocent bottles and various non-animated targets were somewhat destroyed.
I can’t find a proper post detailing what we did, so I’m assuming this site was set up after the last trip there.
Having learnt my lesson from our last camping trip to the reservoir, I’ll be re-applying the sun block more often, and wearing my hat. Anyway, I’ll try and remember to write what happens, and who else was around, when I return on Sunday.

This time it is Ramon’s birthday. We hope you are having fun playing with some rich lady’s pipes. (He is a plumber, not a gigolo, I hasten to add 😉 ).
