festivities...
There has been so much happening the last few days.. I should probably have some different posts about each thing..
ahh well.. here goes..
My 30th.. oh yes i am officially old... It was very exciting... There was lots of preparations.. cake making, food chopping, courtyard cleaning and of course praying for good weather. Considering we are in the longest drought of like a bunch of years and then in December, summer, it rains heavily for 4 days straight, I should be forgiven for thinking that I could have an outdoors party. I must admit that I normally go to the zoo for my birthday.. (oohh that reminds me i need to pay for my friends of the zoo membership, it expired a month ago) so this year being the big three zero we had to have a home party.. I had booked a face painter.. fantastic!!! she is awesome.. Drop Megan a line if you want to look as good as I did.. we had filled the fish pinata with lollies, I had got the bubble machine out of the cupboard, I was all set to hide the chocolate coins in the garden... and well I did have to refrigerate the cake the night before as it was so humid, that the cream in the middle was starting to squish out the sides.. i had to reinforce with toohtpicks too..
anyway we had a fabulous time.. the paper chains Claire and I had been making for the last few weeks were magically hung by Phil while I was making myself beautiful...
