Well I have reached the dizzying heights of 31 years old.  There is snow on the ground and a chill in the air.  The bubbles are on ice (or will be when I get some from the store).  I have a few more grey hairs and a new address since last year.  I got birthday money in dollars not pounds and my birthday cake is made out of ice cream. 

For all of my family and friends who read my blog, raise a glass this way please- I will raise mine later, even I cant justify drinking at 8.00am!
