Hope you are having a brilliant day, and that your (soon to be expanding) family are all fine and treating you well.
We look forward to your return over here, and even more so to meeting everyone else who eventually comes along.

From J. Lo To Play Dough
OK, so his name is obviously Placido Domingo (well Plácido Domingo to be precise, but I don’t yet know how WordPress will handle accented characters. Cyrillics are still an issue), but if I titled the post from J. Lo to Pla. Do, I thought it quite likely people would read it without making it rhyme. Which would obviously ruin my day 😉
Anyway, the connection between the two singers? Astana, Kazakhstan, obviously.
What, you say you still don’t follow? Fair enough… We will soon be celebrating Astana Day, and last year there were rumours that Jennifer Lopez would be performing at a concert. See NewEurasia.net’s article here.
OK, I was working from memory, and upon reading that article properly, it sounds more like it was for a celebration of the president’s birthday, not Astana day. I’ll need to look into that. I hope NewEurasia implement some mod_rewrite rules soon – all their internal links to old articles are still broken.
However, this time there does seem to be official confirmation, (three English Language sources that I could find at least – United Press International, PR Newswire, merinews (site is utterly unrelated to me, though I should have thought of the domain name before it was grabbed by them.)), that he will be appearing (and presumably singing) on July 5th at the Palace of Independence. This all assumes that it isn’t some sort of power play by akimat, in terms of getting a contract signed.
Anyway, I expect tickets will be for big-wigs, their children, extended familys and any politicians in the area that haven’t recently been denounced for corruption, so I’ll have to keep an eye out in the local press and media for reports on it.

Birthday Meal With Dad And Nick
Again, I think I may have used PockeTwit to provide a quick update at the time (25th April), but here are the proper photos. Dad and Nick came over for a meal to celebrate my 30th birthday. Whilst living in Clydach, any time I drove into Swansea, I’d pass a restaurant that looked interesting. TBH, anywhere that sells New York Italian food is likely to get a thumbs up from me, and whilst not exactly a dinner jacket required sort of establishment, the food was delicious. Anna behaved very well, and the next time we’re back in Wales, I’ll gladly be heading over to Frankie & Benny’s.

Happy Birthday Seb
Guess what this post is about? 🙂
Now although Irina and I had a reminder on our phones that the 19th May was his (27th??) birthday, we also had one set for today, and as last year we congratulated him on the 20th, I’m going to assume that is the correct date…
Hope you’re having a great time back in Britain, was great to see you, really glad you saw Anna, and remind me I owe you a birthday drink or two when we get back again (~Christmas hopefully).

Moving And Backing Up
John has finished his two-week long extended party time for his birthday, and had another photoshoot today. I’m hoping he will post some info and pictures this week. Anyway, he hasn’t yet tried out a present he received which can move photos from a camera card onto a USB memory stick. Actually it can handle most storage mediums that utilise a USB connection, and whilst it is quite slow in transferring files, to be able to either empty full cards onto a big thumbdrive, or just back them all up, is definitely an improvement.

Happy Birthday John
Hope you have a great day 🙂
(OK, I admit, I wrote this post in advance, just in case I hadn’t sobered up enough in time to write this on the day 😉 )
