Birthday bonanza

As a broadcaster and voice-over artist, I do have the inclination to spout on about...well anything that either comes to mind or what's written on a script in front of me.

In the interest of saving my listener from complete boredom about the inner workings of my life, I like to blog instead, hoping that you reading this might think I'm more down to earth rather than some vain, pretentious little git. Yes, I'm opening myself up to a resounding "You are anyway Roger!".

I'm normally associated with having, as the saying goes, short arms and deep pockets in the spending department.  Thanks Mum & Dad for training me all those years ago.  You're entirely to blame!  Outside of my control is the necessity to spend, and spend a bit more during April, for it is a hectic month for family birthday's.  Firstly my sister, then my nephew, then my brother-in-law, then my wife.  For this year, and this year only, sending pressies to my sister and family is expensive as they currently live across the pond in Chicago, until they return in July....can't wait.  I sent a big parcel last week, with cards and pressies inside. The postage by airmail cost enough to make me gasp to the cashier on the other side of the glass.  Nonetheless I paid up, feeling a bit lighter in the pocket and light-headed.

Note to self - don't forget wife's birthday, 28 April.  Be generous.  Am I entering into uncharted territory?
