Birthday bits


Happy Monday friends! Yes, I'm another year older today :)
I decided that this is the year to celebrate, big 41. Last year was a bit tricky with lots of difficult things happening, so this year is going to be a bit of fun.
Look at the beautiful cake by very good friend Liz baked and decorated for me? Gorgeous!!
I can't wait to eat it.


I have decided to have a bit of a birthday "week", so started last Friday night with a few drinkies with Lyndon, followed by yummy pizza.
Saturday arvo I had more drinkies with my buddy Liz (cake maker extraordinaire) and so much fancy pants French cheese that I felt sick :) That evening Lyn and I ate yummy Asian takeaway sitting up in bed.


Yesterday, because I felt like it, I had Baileys and popcorn for dinner, followed by maltesers. I'm so naughty!
And today I have popped this lovely bottle of bubbles in the fridge to share with my family this evening.


Lyn spoilt me with this lovely brown box this morning. Inside, well, not a handbag, but a book I have had on my wishlist for a long time.


I'm really looking forward to a family dinner tonight and even going out to an actual restaurant for dinner with Lyn this weekend. We hardly ever go out for a meal, so I'm excited!
I hope you all have a wonderful week too. For the southern Tasmanians, yay for Show Day holiday this Thursday!

  5. Happy Birthday Sarah! Isn't it fabulous that when you've eaten the last crumb of that amazing cake and drunk the last bubble worth of bubbly you still have your book to immerse yourself in and restore your soul!

  20. Oh my, Sarah! That sounds like the best week ever! I am quite envious as I would never think to eat popcorn and Bailey's for dinner...

    I hope that you have enjoyed every minute (and didn't feel too sick after the cheese). And your friend is very talented, that cake looks stunning...

    Enjoy! Tammy xx
