Birthday in Virginia

Last Birthday was awful.  Thousands of miles away from my Wife, and knowing Christmas would be the same.

I took the day off work, as a temp worker, naturally I didn't get paid, but I didn't mind.

My Wife and I went to see the new Mission Impossible film.  Using another free!! gift card through her work.  (I think we've only paid twice for the cinema, it's pretty awesome).  There was a lot more humour this time around, but it was a great movie.  Afterwards Vicky took me to a restaurant called the Outback Steakhouse.

I have always wanted to try the Blooming Onion.  3,000 gut busting calories of wonderfulness.

For the main meal, I had an 8oz filet steak.  Another wonderful food in my stomach.

I did really well with presents.  Vicky gave me these two unusual Newcastle ones:





Yes!, that is a genuine Newcastle Brown Ale hand pump!  I also received Mars Bars and more Ringtons tea.  Always welcome (HINT HINT) for future Birthdays / Christmas.  Or anytime really ...
