What I did on My Birthday

Its always nice when your birthday falls on a weekend.It not only means you don't have to take a day off so you can get some quality time it also means that you get to spend the whole day doing things with the ones you love

I have never been one to lay in bed, wasting my life on excessive sleep.I woke up brights and early and did take a cuppa back to bed to catchup the forum posts and check my emails on my Android tablet.

I love a good scrambled egg and even though the pan is rather messy I do thing its much better prepared that way than all soggy in the Microwave. I was just about to begin making my breakfast to be told by my wife she was going to take me out for breakfast. We have a really nice garden centre about 10 miles down the road from where I live, attached to this is an awesome cafe that does amazing hot chocolate and bacon sandwiches to die for, nice proper dry cured bacon.
I always try to do atleast 1 thing I have never done. This year I got the urge to try the old mentos and coke thing,  results below.

The rest of the day was filled by visits from family members and friends.

As for presents I'm not a big material person but do love the simple things in life. I have for years wanted to re-live my childhood and my wife bought me a catapult and ammo,  awesome, i got a nice book on robots and some money which topped up my component drawers from Maplins. All in all a perfect day.
