Birthdays

So tomorrow my brother turns 25, and is celebrating it by chucking himself out of an aeroplane strapped to someone else. I've given him the important instruction of 'Do not die' so I feel my duties as an older brother have been filled in that regard. Of course Ed becoming 25 makes me feel old, but that's a well documented fact.*

*Ed is only slightly less than 2 years younger than me, however he'll forever be the younger brother, so anyone whose younger than him is very young, and it's him getting older not me that makes me feel old.

Anyway in related news in about 3 weeks I'll be turning 27* and so I'm planning to organise some sort of meal out at my cousins restaurant for either the Friday of my birthday or the following Saturday. Partly because the food is excellent and partly because I want an excuse to make people go there. So is anyone interested?

*Which is good because I've been confused and stuck thinking I was already 27 for about the last six months, no one is going to notice if and when I start going senile.

Woo yay birthday! I don't think we've got any fixed plans that weekend (apart from inviting you and Rachael for dinner and a film as your lovely girlfriend may have said) so we should be able to join you.
Oh, we'd also need to know where your cousin's restaurant is... I tried typing Dom's cousin's restaurant into google* but it didn't like it.

*okay that might have been a fib...

Hijacking the entry!

Yeah I told him about the Saturday. We were waiting until tonight to find out what his family's plans were for his birthday before we responded.

Having talked to my family, having the meal with my friends on Saturday is best for me!
