Birthday celebrations

Yesterday was Lee's 40th birthday. He reckoned he could get away with just letting it pass on by. But we had other ideas. When we were climbing the other day, Ian came up with a cunning plan which involved curry. I was happy to assist and after a number of 'phone calls, managed to get together a small group of Lee's friends. Between us we got some grub together and made our way up to Lee's for the surprise. He was only expecting Ian and Nina as company on his birthday evening, so it was with some consternation that he opened his door to 9 of us! A jolly fine evening in convivial company followed with some fine curry and nice wine. The birthday boy seemed to enjoy his surprise once the initial shock of the house invasion had worn off! Good fun all round.
