G'day! Thanks for returning!
There comes a time when even crusty old curmudgeons like myself have to admit that we are getting older.
That moment comes when you realise you are helpless without:
a) your two sets of glasses (one for reading)
b) ‘Nanna strings’ to tie them around your neck so you don’t keep losing them.
Yes, today is the day that this household celebrates the eldest male getting one year older (and judging by the rings around his girth, he must be older than Methuselah).
Several bottles of champ quality Aussie sparkling were consumed by the good lady wife and myself to celebrate.
Huzzah!
Next week I am in Melbourne for a few days, watching my son play in the national schools volleyball championships, and catching up with a dear friend I haven’t seen in 20+ years.
If Trevor Cook, Neville Franks, Jeremy Hague or any other blogger or podcaster would like to catch up, please drop me an email [lee at leehopkins dot net] asap – I leave here at the beginning of next week and I’ve promised She Who Must Be Obeyed that I wouldn’t take my newly returned notebook with me. As Molesworth would say, “Chizz!”

I’d love to catch-up but I live in Sydney, but when you come up this way!
Happy birthday BTW.
Bugga! For some reason I thought you lived in Melb. Oh well, next time I’m in Sydney, then… And thanks for the birthday wishes!
Cheers,
Lee
(Belated) Happy birthday, Lee!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! May the next year bring you only wonderful surprises.
Thanks Donna and Constantin! May YOUR years bring happiness and wonderful surprises!
Happy B’s old man!
Remember… if the ball&chain won’t let you take the electronic notebook, she’ll probably let you off with the moleskine.

I don’t have a moleskin, but after all the fuss in the last few months (Ben, you, Doug Johnston, inter alia) I may have to lash out.
But I surprisingly find myself moving away from pen and paper again and back to digital scribing. So I am going to get a nice slim pda when I go to Dubai – not a chunky phone+pda like the O2 but a simple clean pda with the usual Word, Excel, Outlook etc features and an add-on keyboard.
