I thought the whole purpose of a blog was to write on it?

So what have you been doing on this special day? Down th epub for a beer tonight?

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to you. Definitely not one to forget. Accomodation sounds harsh so I am sure the 'shed' will be a luxury. Will be interested to find out how village life is. X

Dear Paul - wishing you a very happy day on 16th Feb. Mum says you

are pipe laying - I guess this birthday will stick in your mind in future

years. Have fun and love from us both x x

I expect you had a brilliant time going to the Great Wall - especially having a chauffeur driven car?! Way to go!!! Where are you going next? Did you really eat scorpion??

Well - you've managed to add a bit more - any photos???

Please do NOT bring any of that bush tucker home with you! x

Is that the jurt ( Mongolian for tent) you're staying in? Or do you NOT want your mum to know it's minus 25 at the moment.

Mind you, you'll agree its a different kind of cold, beats damp cold at plus 3 methinks:)

Zdrastwice w Sibyr :)

Hang on in there, enjoy

Hi Paul - I think I have done a lesley !!! Have you tried the vodka yet ?

Looks like I've done it wrong already - glad you are there - enjoy sightseeing. XX

Just testing. Hope the hostel is filling up and you'll be able to do lots of sightseeing in Moscow tomorrow. Is it cold?? x
