Celebrated my 37th year with a fine present from Jo, or rather Freya : a book I’d been wanting to get for quite a while, Trigger Happy by Steven Poole. As the title subtley suggests it’s a book about video games.

Celebrated further by going to the local pizza restaurant and watching Wolves get soundly beaten (2-0) by Arsenal in the FA Cup. I hadn’t expected a black-country victory ; it was nice just to see them play.

Celebrated even further by going home and continuing to drink beer.

Celebrated most of all by waking up without feeling any ill-effects.

More birthdays, please.
