Bjorn's Birthday

Just a quick note - don't know if this will work anyway since there seems to be an error and I can't see my blogs. Hope that sorts itself out. I think I should keep a back-up of all my blogs in Word or something in case something goes wrong here.
Anyway, it was Bjorn's birthday yesterday. We went and saw the History Boys at the cinema, which was set in Sheffield I think and also had shots of Oxford (which I recognised from being there!) That was good. Then we had the international meal which worked really well, and everyone brought really nice food. There are some good cooks around! (and everyone seems to like Tim Tams). I realised too late that I should have taken a photo of all the food.
Bjorn's housemate made his birthday cake, which was a chocolate cake with brandy poured over the top. It looked really good, and apparently tasted good too but I was too busy running around getting people organised to sign Bjorn's birthday card and I missed out! Oh well.
This is Tom, one of Bjorn's housemates, who made the birthday cake:
And here's the birthday cake:
I bought Bjorn a poster of the movie Little Miss Sunshine which we both really loved (and I got myself one too). (It's a great movie - go see it!!)
And then we all (the international people) went in together to buy him a pass for the Leeds International Film Festival coming up in November which he really wants to go to, but couldn't afford the pass. I'm pleased to say he loved it and I'm quite proud of my idea :p
Anyway thats a short recap of the night, but now I have to go and write a 350 word history post that is due today but I've been too disorganised this week and haven't started yet :s (It took me a few days to recover from London, then for the rest of the week I kept having this feeling that there was something I was forgetting to do...

What fun! Pity about forgetting to take a photo of the food! And what a great idea for a present - you are an excellent present chooser Jess! If all else fails with the blogs Grandpa has printed them out for easier reading but I will back them up here too so they should be safe if we all do it! Hope the history thing goes ok - 350 words is chicken feed though these days, isnt it?!
