Thank you for the birthday wishes, by the way. I had a good time - I did everything I planned apart from the street theatre at the end. I did try, but as it was at ground level, unless you were right at the front it was like being in a rugby scrum and you couldn't see anything at all, so I gave up and went to bed instead.

I did see the fireworks though, and they were great! I remember sometime in the mid 90s ('96 or '97 probably) I went to the Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich with some friends for my birthday, it was midweek and not a particularly noteworthy day (other than being my birthday obviously, but you know what I mean). We were inside but by a window, so we had a good view of the Thames, and all of a sudden this amazing firework display just appeared out of nowhere. It was great, and made me feel really special, even though of course it wasn't really for my benefit. But I've had a thing about birthdays and fireworks since.

Here are a few pictures I took last night - I'm quite pleased with them. I've never had much luck with firework photos before, but these worked quite well.
