Happy birthday, bru!!

Today is Nathan's birthday!! When we were both in our teens I made a bet with him that he would be balding by the time he hit 30 (because a few of our uncles were unfortunate enough to be hit by the balding bug at a fairly young age!). Today he's 30 and I'm out 50 bucks cos he hasn't lost any hair that he hasn't wanted to! Damn it - I should have looked to our dad - that dude's still got a full head of hair... that was one (MAJOR) point in Nathan's favour!

Oh well, que sera sera...

Happy birthday, Natey boy!!

Lotsa love

Tessa
