Brr, weather's definitely taken a turn for the colder!

It's Rob's birthday today, so this morning we didn't go to church but instead went to the music shop Rob bought his saxophone from (they were opening specially for a one day sale). Bought quite a few bits including a few sax things and several things for Ali to try and make her play an actual guitar instead of just playing Guitar Hero for hours. I think the lady managed to add 10% onto one of the items instead of taking the sale 10% off, but she was being quite confused about everything so I was expecting something like that to happen. Oh well.

Yesterday we did other birthday celebrating things; we had a few people around for lunch and went out to a Japanese restaurant in the evening (we booked!). We went with Ali, Rachel and Rob's parents. It's called Little Tokyo, it's very small and busy and cheap but very good. We had lots of different starters, including sushi which was actually very nice, then all sorts of lovely main courses. I had a Teppan dish with Udon noodles, which are yummy. Yum yum yum.

My brother John has bought a new car, though he didn't manage to get it so that he could visit us. He's not getting it until Wednesday. It's a blue, T-reg, Ford Focus LX. He seems quite happy about it, though he was already looking for a new ICE system for it. Well, a new CD playery thing, anyway. Not sure if ICE implies all sorts of silly things.

That's about it really, Rob's busy killing people in Medieval Total War at the moment, so maybe I'll go and do something interesting. Not that I quite know what that is. :)
