Turning 38

It seems like only a year ago that I was having a birthday and last week it happened again. This year Laura and her family came out to visit. The day was a busy one and started early. We were up before dawn and climbed up ANZAC Hill and found a spot by the fence ready for the Dawn Service to begin. There were a few hundred people up on the top of the hill for the service.


Unfortunately even though we were only located around 5-10 metres from the speakers and had a clear line of sight, the sound that was emanating was so soft, it could hardly be heard. It wasn't just Laura, Anne and myself who were unable to hear, but many others (probably the three hundred or so behind us at least). On the walk back down the hill it was all we could talk about how disappointing the service had been due to inadequate sound. You'd think that they would have done a sound check prior to the event. Maybe not.

After that we went home and had a good cooked breakfast and opened our many presents. I received many amazing gifts such as a Lego Pirates Chess Set, painted books (with a cup of tea on top), a do-it-yourself terrarium, greenhouse, books, tea, and many more. After breakfast and unwrapping it was time to start playing with the presents. I put up the greenhouse with Anne, Max and Henry's help.





Later that afternoon we went for a picnic at Simpson's Gap and a walk through the gorge. It was a very nice lunch (chicken sandwiches) and was nice relaxing.

That evening we went out to a place called The Gillen Club. It is a local pub that has a playground so Max and Henry were pretty happy about that.




Anyway, to end on the GIF that Lewis sent after wishing me (and Laura) a happy birthday.

I have been waiting for another post to see what has been happening in your neck of the woods and this was worth the wait. I am so glad that you and Laura were able to get together for your birthday this year, it certainly sounds like you had a full day doing lots of lovely things. I have really enjoyed seeing the pictures of your day xx
