January 13. Day 13. Excellent bar none

To be clear, I don't think a copious amount of alcohol is an essential ingredient in the recipe to having a good time. I do, however, love rights of passage and being able go into a bar, present your ID and order an alcoholic beverage is a coming-of-age thing. And so today my "baby" did just that. We travelled to Sydney to mark the occasion. The main game was was a trip to the Lyric Theatre to see Matilda tonight and Magic Flute at the Opera House tomorrow night but a side trip to a hotel seemed like a good option.
In any event drinks or no drinks reaching 18 is a milestone is well worth celebrating. So I raise a glass to you young man. Happy Birthday Oliver. Love you heaps
