Birthday Finalised

We had a magnificent dinner at Adam and Kate's place to mark the end of my 72nd year.  Amongst the cards was this beauty that Sophie had made herself.

 The slow cooked lamb and chicken was quickly demolished by the assembled company.  The whole family presented me with a super upper top shelf French red (Margaux - a blend of cab sav. and merlot) the like of which I am unlikely to see again.  It is now in secure storage and will be consumed to mark our departure from Efron St.

Then there was the issue of the Cake.  A number of helpers ensured there was zero fire risk at the end of the evening.

At the end of the evening we were able to retire to our beds and think of Brett, Cathy, Mitchell, Ebony and Holly waiting around at the airport for their plane to Japan that left after midnight.  We hope it is a wonderful trip.
