Before my life is taken over my nappies, changing mats & cute shoes, I wanted to try and catch up with tasks in real life, and bits I’d never quite got to finishing on the blog. So, here are the first of some Amsterdam April 2008 shots.
As you may remember from my ramblings at the time, a problem with flights had meant we missed the last connection from Frankfurt to Amsterdam on the 19th by mere minutes.
Anyway, we grabbed a couple of hours of sleep in a nearby hotel, got up for my Birthday and decided we would try and make today run a little better. A beautiful sight of some bunnies frolicking on the lawn below our window. Glad of the few hours rest we’d had, we got ready and headed to the airport for the first flight out Amsterdam. We were NOT going to be missing the 4.20pm meet on 4/20 at the coffeeshop 420 🙂
Anyway, more of that later, have these as a taster of the posts to come. I’ll try and put up the ones from 2007 later, with Chris and Alex…

Happy Birthday Irina
Today is my beautifully pregnant wife’s birthday. We are all heading over to a nice restaurant in the evening with another Irina and her boyfriend. I’ll try to remember to take some shots, I’m just hoping it will be someone else’s turn to stay sober tomorrow – we need to have someone who can drive 24/7 now, as Ira already counts as full term, if the baby had been born already.
Another 10 days until the first predicted date (9th Feb), the other being the 13th. Given the randomness of nature, who knows when the happy event will occur?
I hope Ira (and lyolik) have a great time tomorrow, and that she displays her joy-inducing smiles at some point 🙂

Friends Roundup
KZBlog has recently started posting again, following a break. You can catch up on the first podcasts in Kazakh, the state’s reaction to people demonstrating and attempting to invade a mayor’s office and finally a piece on the Religion laws currently being considered by the president, including what is possibly the first publication of the American Kazakh Embassy’s reaction to criticism of the restrictive regulations.
Also, Alex has started blogging again regularly – her birthday last month is covered, as well as her new job, her new place (see here and here), a great Christmas novelty find, and a post on Nick and Roz’s visit to her place.

Con’s Birthday
Today is the day, back in the 80s, that top DJ, top mate and all round good bloke Con was born. Hope you’re having a good party, surrounded by good friends, and that we’ll get to see you soon.
(OK so this was another pre-written post I created a while back. Hoping to have seen him in the last couple of days,by the time this post is set to publish.)

Back In Britain
OK, so we have actually been back in Britain for five days now, but sorting out things and settling down is bound to take a while. In the mean time, the blog managed to publish a post for Alex on her birthday 🙂
All is OK here in Clydach, and I’ll try and post a little more regularly soon; if you have already read this post, why not click on one of the category or tag links on the right to be taken to posts you may be interested in. To friends in Cheltenham, I’ll be around next week so look forward to seeing some of you.

Alex Is 21 Again?
Given that we were in the same year at school, it isn’t too hard to guess her age, but anyway, here’s hoping she is having a superb day…

Happy Birthday Dad, Babushka & StarGazer
As you may have guessed from this post’s title, today is my Dad’s birthday. Everyone here in Kazakhstan hopes you have a great day…
The title should also give you a clue that Babushka (Ira’s grandma) and StarGazer also share their birthdays with my Dad. Happy Birthday all round then 🙂
