Happy Birthday Chris, hope you have a great time, don’t break either of your ankles again

Today is his birthday, so assuming he is in this fair city, I am sure we will be celebrating this occasion by having afternoon tea and perhaps going to a classical concert with his wife. Or just getting drunk somewhere…

As you may have noticed, there have not been a lot of posts recently. The three posts below this were written ahead of time and post-dated, to ensure I didn’t miss any birthdays. However, the day before Ira’s Mum’s birthday was in fact also an important date - seven years since Irina and I were married back in Astana! Although we are not in the same country, I want her to know she is always in my thoughts, and I look forward to seeing her soon

Anyway, I am currently in Britain, having come over here three weeks ago. Gramps (Mum’s Dad) was very ill in hospital, so I came and said hello. Unfortunately, he passed away very recently, and I just wanted to say a quick thank you to those friends that have sent their messages of support. I will be returning to Kazakhstan by the end of August, and look forward to meeting up with our friends back East. Finally, congratulations to Jonnie, Seb & Con’s brother who recently got married.

Today is Irina’s mum’s birthday, we hope your day goes well and that those around you make sure the day is a relaxing and enjoyable one.

Well, I don’t which 21st this is (lets be polite, and suggest perhaps the fourth?), but in any case, Happy Birthday from me and Ira.

is Aunty Sveta, who has her birthday today. Hope you are having a great one, and that you are amongst friends and family.

I probably won’t be posting anything for a little while, so please do feel free to get around to looking at some of the older posts here, or maybe checking out some of the static pages linked to at the top.
Anyway, just wanted to leave a quick message so people didn’t think I’d just given up on blogging or something.

Happy Birthday Pippa

I hope you manage to get away to Amsterdam soon, and look forward to getting utterly pissed with you meeting up again some time.

… birthdays, it would appear, as today is both Dana’s and Natalya K’s. Hope you are both having a great time in your respective cities, and that we will get to see you all soon

LifeInsuranceCQ is an insurance broker based in America, who specialise in getting their clients the best rates. They manage to do this by having policy details from many different life insurance companies. Rather than you phoning around getting multiple life insurance rates from different companies, they simply take all your relevant details, once, and apply them to all the different types of policies out there right now. So obtaining low cost life insurance does not have to be a stressful experience, nor take up much of your time.
If you visit their site, you will see they have most bases covered, in terms of ensuring you can find out all the information you require without searching multiple sites. For example, if you are not sure whether you should be asking for a term life insurance quote, or a permanent life insurance quote, they have already written an article explaining the differences. Other FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) are also covered, and if by some chance they do not cover your particular query, you can always contact them direct. I did find that one particular link (the ‘Why Life InsuranceCQ?’ page) does not work, though going by the quality of the rest of the site, I’m sure this oversight will be corrected shortly. If you find yourself in the position of not really knowing just how much cover you should purchase, they have a handy online calculator on the site, designed to let you know a ballpark figure that you should probably be considering.
So, whichever state you currently reside in (LifeInsuraceCQ is licensed in all 50), check out the site, and see just how much money you could be saving, whilst getting the best policy to match your needs.
