Birthday week is over. Tuesday 20th, my birthday, I went to see Harry Potter at the cinema. Friday night, went go-karting with some friends from VALE, where I used to work. I took Jon (a friend whose birthday it was on Saturday). I won (although a transponder failure meant I was registered as coming third), Jon came tenth. Great fun. On the way back from karting, I was in Jon's car as he came round the corner, clipped the kerb and put the car through a hedge, writing it off. We opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate Jon's birthday when we eventually got back. As you can imagine, this kicked the weekend off to a good start.

Saturday afternoon went hang-gliding. It was a great day, and the air seemed very buoyant. This weekend, I'll be going to a hang-gliding trade show, where I hope to get an altimeter/variometer so I can tell how high I am and whether I am going up or down!

All this, plus the other social events that have been happening recently have distracted me from anything but Nildram software development. Hopefully, I'll clear down all the requests and issues that have been building up in my Inbox, so I can start next week with a clean slate.
