I'll let you know if I feel I'm going to need it, but I think I should be okay. From what I can gather, London won't be half so bad as the conditions I went through camping at the Southern-most point of Tasmania with Ele. We were at the foot of a snow-swept mountain, and for my part at least, woefully under-prepared...
And thank you, I did have a good birthday! Erin made me pancakes in the morning, then we went to my place to play Guitar Hero, had dinner with my parents at Nardee, and then came home and watched Silent Hill. Then yesterday most of the posse went to the Tutankhamun exhibition at the Melbourne Museum as a joint birthday outing for me and our resident Egyptologist Shane, whose birthday is on the 30th. That was a pretty amazing experience; lots of relics from the tombs of Tutankhamun and his ancestors, including a golden ceremonial dagger, and the most beautiful scarab bracelet. The detail was exquisite. Some pretty cool deity statues, and an almighty sarcophagus, too; no mummies, though. Then after the exhibit we had a Middle Eastern dinner on Lygon Street, and though the food was pretty average, we also smoked some sheesha, and that was a lot of fun :)
