My birthday this year fell on a Friday while I was in Shanghai. Gavin very kindly organized a night out with a group of friends and we had dinner at Lawry's steak house in Xintiandi, followed by drinks at Sasha's. I am now 36, and the older I get the more people seem to claim "you are still young". Perhaps I send out signals that I need reassurance?!

My mum got me the Space Odyssey series of books by Arthur C Clarke and gave them to me when I was in the UK in July. I have to admit that I read them long before my birthday arrived, which is why you haven't seen them on here as a book review. All very good though, and as I read them for a second time I'll include the reviews.
