It was Corey's birthday yesterday so as it was James' day off, we drove to Corey's place to see him. I can't believe he's 30 now, it doesn't seem that long ago I was posting photos of him on LJ where he was wearing his yellow Easter bonnet and going to junior school. A couple of photos from yesterday are on Insta if you follow me on there.

Other than that, we went to Pauline's to pick up Corey's card, and she made us some lunch, and also passed on more books. At this rate, even if I could read a book a day it would take months to clear my to-read pile.

We also went to pick up a slab of live edged wood James had bought from someone online and man, that thing was heavy, and as long as the back seat of our car. Thankfully, my brother said he'd cut it into smaller pieces so I could drop it off at his house and didn't have to carry it home.

This morning I finally got my appointment for the scan behind my knee. That's the beginning of next month at 8:30, in the walk in centre that's in the same building as the gym so it'll be no issue having a walk down. It says to allow 30 minutes, so I should be all done and dusted by mid-morning, and fingers crossed, have the start of some answers.

Now I need to prise my backside off my chair and go rescue the wheelie bin as I've just heard it be trundled back by my neighbour and for once, it's not raining right at this moment. But then later, after bath and book and making tea, new Starfleet Academy, my new favourite show.

Happy Belated to Corey! I know he's tall, but it still surprises me every time I see it!

And OMG! How did your little kidlet get to 30 already? It does seem like just recently he was so very young and living at home. I'm glad you were able to celebrate with him. Does he live close?

I liked Starfleet Academy from the start, and it just seems to keep getting better. ENJOY!

James had a tall uncle and my brother is tall, other than those two, I don't know where Corey got his tall genes from, certainly not me *g*

He lives about a 20 to 30 minute drive away, depending on traffic, so not bad at all. I asked if he was going out to celebrate with his friends, and he said maybe after work on Sat, which would mean 2am onwards. I couldn't think of anything worse!

I'm looking forward to watching later. I'm hoping your comment means you've already seen and enjoyed :D

Love how you always have the perfect icon, btw.

A 20-30 minute drive isn't bad. That's about how far I lived from my parents until they moved across the street. My first apartment was closer to 40-45 at the time, although now, there's a highway that's been completed that shortens the drive. And from their house to here was about 35-40 minutes. It's good to be kind of close to family.

I'm always humored that I was always out late when I was younger. Now, I don't want to drive at night, so I don't enjoy being out that late at all.

Yes, I saw it this morning, but I won't spoil it for you. But yeah, I thought it was a very good episode.

Many thanks! I went for years without a birthday icon, and decided a while ago that it was long overdue to have one. Glad you like it! (That is not Ozzie, though... but we can always pretend!).
