What a week.

Seemed I was destined not to celebrate this birthday.  Firstly the jetski was cancelled because it was too rough.  Then we decided to go to Frankston,  a seaside suburb, to have lunch.  Which was very nice, with two of my best friends.  Margaret, with whom I grew up, and Joan, and their husband.

Firstly Nils, Joan's husband, got lost, even though they have a GPS.  He didn't use it.  So we were over half an hour late arriving.  The food was lovely, but forgot the photos (as usual).  I had a filet mignon.  Very Tasty.


 The wind did that for me :)

 A couple of shots of the playground
 Nils decided, without consultation with the birthday girl, that he would take Jayden metal detecting.  I was a bit upset because I had people coming over in the afternoon to visit.

The waves weren't as high as anticipated, but still think for a novice it would have been a bit rough, and cold. :)

Had to apologise to my elder son and my friend, that I couldn't see them, because we were even later getting back because we kept taking the long way.  Through all the peak hour traffic. I was becoming very irritable.

Then to top it all off, I was ill.  Vomiting and diarrhea.  Spent most of Wednesday in bed.  Had visitors in the afternoon for a few hours, then went to bed again as soon as they left.

 They bought me this beautiful flowers.
This lovely and different door stopper.
 And a belated Christmas  present.  A bit hard to see in the photo, but it is annealed glass (I think) brooch.  A very nice turquoise.

Was supposed to go on a picnic today, but still didn't feel up to it.  It is now 4.30pm and am starting to get some energy back.  This was for my birthday too.  Ah well, maybe do it all eventually.

Everything is not always going as planned, but you did have a special day anyway. Love the doorholder! Really great idea!

Lots of hugs and kisses! Be well!

It is beautiful, but feel it might be a bit fragile with young children around. :)
