Happy Birthday…
…to Kate who is in the depths of New Zealand. As she can’t recieve any post we have to send her lots of birthday wishes over the internet. Kate if you were here I would make you a nice cake, like the one I made you last year but I would make the icing look less yellow and therefore less like sick.

Happy Birthday!

yes, happy birthday kate.
during the last 2 days i have been reminded of your birthday as i am currently using sarah’s old phone which beeps periodically, displaying a picture of a birthday cake, and a reminder that it is your birthday.

kate, what are you doing in the picture? it looks like you are applying shampoo to a child.

you have xray vision, i can’t see any children.

just my imagination. she could just as easily be delicately slicing a melon.
November 8th, 2004 at 8:03 pm
don’t be silly. She is eating fish.
November 8th, 2004 at 9:33 pm
puppets. she is operating puppets.

no really, she was eating broiled swordfish or something.

you people are all weird and I love you.
by the way I had a smashing (?) birthday out here in Franz Josef in glacier territory. I am going to celebrate by doing and all day glacier hike/ice climb which I am mostly excited about because I get to wear crampons and carry an ice axe, cool. x

it was blue fish, my favourite, but id rather have been shampooing a small child.
November 9th, 2004 at 8:55 am
blue fish! yeah I knew it wasn’t sword fish. I can’t believe you are going ice climbing and wearing crampons. I’m sure I should have some expert advice to give you from my obsessional reading of climbing books but I can’t think of anything. Well just don’t let anyone lower you over a cravasse and cut the rope. Ok?

btw what the hell is blue fish? Is that a brand or a model?
November 9th, 2004 at 5:43 pm
it’s like bluetooth, but more scaley.

its probably just cod
