The Gathering...

Have spent the past couple of weeks trying to plan and put together a "post 30th birthday" gathering for close friends - yes I left it too late, and that's the reason why its a month after my birthday. Happy to announce that things appear to be on track (note how I only said "appear to be"). That's because there is a lot that still needs to be done. I mean, those of you who have seen our place will know that it isn't exactly blessed with tons of square meterage. Estate agents would call it "neat and cosy" - and so K and I are both holding our breath about how well our neat and cosy little apartment will host some 30 guests. Apart from space, we have a lot of tidying up to do, and perhaps a bit of furniture rearrangement to create more space (or at least the illusion thereof).
Either way, it should be fun. Well...maybe not so much fun if you're the apartment below us, or next to us :-)
The great news is that we have a couple of mates from the UK who will be back in time for the "gathering" (some more permanently than others - welcome home Pat).
