In a few hours I'm off to Amsterdam, where I'll be spending a few days with - variously -my brother Matt (who flew in from Sydney a couple of days ago), his flatmate Michelle (who is doing a six-month stint there with ING), my friend David (who has lived there for years and years), his partner Nico (who is Dutch) and my Finnish friend Anu (who got there a couple of days back too). All in aid of my 30th birthday this Sunday. Huzzah! God love decadent international get-togethers.
