Hiya;

Thanks for all the well wishes on Monday. My birthday was all the more memorable because you remembered (at least all except the birthday fairy who ironically forgot to call).

Friday was The Boy Wonder's birthday. We got up early, decorated, made pancakes and had a nice family brekky before heading out for his swimming lesson.

We decided on a combined bash in the backyard on Saturday. The kiddy party started at 4pm, mine at 6pm. A hand decorated Thomas the Tank Engine cake had chins waging and set the bar very high in the Inner West Birthday Cake Stakes.
In between face painting (by all accounts possibly my next career path), pass the parcel, cutting cakes and preparing nosh, I didn't manage a single conversation with anyone. Heck Mere left before I'd even said hello!

Very tired but big smiles, bigger bellies and an even bigger cleanup on Sunday.

see ya,
Minas.
