In Which I Have A Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to yoooooooooooooooou
Happy birthday to yoooooooooooooooou
Happy birthday dear BesideTheSeaside
Happy birthday toooooooooooooooo you
Yes, it was two years ago today that I set out for Murmansk.
Bloody nora!
And here I am, in Venice.
Bloody nora!
I stood, this afternoon, on a bridge overlooking a dirty green canal. There are 1000 such corners in this city. The man next to me turned to his wife.
"I could stand here for a week," he said.
I knew exactly what he meant. Have you been there? Then surely you know as well.
Within ten minutes of getting off the bus I was taking down phone numbers of rooms for rent.
Happy birthday indeed.

Robert and Peter
So sorry to hear this. Thank goodness you were with him when the accident happened. I'll email you now.
(Everyone else: I met Robert and Peter in a cafe in Albania.. as you do.. and rode with them a few days ago. More details when I manage to update the site!)
