Birthday party thanks

Hi guys,

Thank you all for coming to my birthday party and for playing some great samba. I had such a great time. Despite turning 40, it was the best birthday celebration I've ever had. The other guests were very impressed with us - as you might expect, because we are bloody good!

Thanks to Remko for making the samba school such a welcoming and community spirited group. My friend Carla said yesterday that you reap what you sow, and that the samba school 'begs participation'. I think it was a compliment! Many friends commented on how memorable the day was.

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the gift, I really appreciate this. I can't wait to go shopping at Photo Continental for a new video camera - the one I'm using at the moment is a borrowed one from last century. The samba school will definitely benefit from this! I'll bring it to practice and show it off as soon as I buy it.

I've got some great photos from the party to post here but I don't have a cable to connect the camera to the computer. Might buy one of those first!

Cheers,
Paul
