Paul's 50th Birthday Party

My 50th birthday came and went. I celebrated my half-century with a party at home. With memories of the 70s in mind, I chose a Hawaiian theme. Why? Well for those who are not old enough to remember there was an American police drama on TV based on a police department in Hawaii. It's title was "Hawaii Five-O".

The traditional English BBQ did not go down well with people as much as Jeep's Thai food. Which was a hit! So, we have decided to hold a Thai buffet party for future events, and leave the English BBQ to others to organise.

The Manx summer is fast drawing to a close and the mountain heather is starting to bloom. Those hills are turning purple. Autumn (fall) is on its way!

Wife in a Blue One

Today I had the privilege of listening to a new sound. The harmonies of three British Royal Navy wives, collectively known as 'Wife in a Blue One'. They have just release this on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFNpYGVydq4 Their first cover song is 'Feel Like Home'. A Randy Newman song originally covered by Linda Ronstadt. Though this first song by Wife in a Blue One was recorded without any special recording equipment, I think they do the song justice. I wish them well. I know they will have a lot fun singing together. I hope all my friends out there will give this song a chance and share with their friends.?

Visual Basic 2008

Jip and I have been discussing our future plans and our future definitely lies in Thailand. I need to expand my programming skills. To that end, I dug out my Visual Studio 2008 disc and found I burnt it in March 2009! Crikey! I completed my VB course three years ago! I have re-installed VS2008 and started to refresh my knowledge of VB by working through MS Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step. So far so good; it all seems so familiar. Our plan now, is to work towards a move to Thailand in mid to late 2013. Plai's graduation ceremony is expected to be during the autumn of that year and we want to be there for that.
