Funny ol' birthday

The girls slept in till 8am so that was my first birthday present. I opened my cards which I've been collecting as they've come in. The postie delivered two parcels from Judi, a collecton of great cake and treat boxes for my business. Michael and the girls gave me two books (the novel 'In her Shoes' and a cookbook 'Soup Kitchen'). My in-laws gave me more money which was so generous of them.

I went for my walk, then after shower we all went in to Lausanne to drop David's cookies off (Fudge Brownie Cookies this week). It was during quiet time this afternoon that Natasha rang and we talked about leaving tonight. So the whole afternoon/evening has been taken up with planning our trip tonight.

Today I have spoken to Matthew (Brisbane on Skype), Judi (Taiwan), Christine K (Cambridge), Natasha (Adelaide), Mum and Dad (Macedon), Jen B (Berkeley) and some friends from here (Michele, Aussie Jen, Christine C). I love my birthday!

Now we are nearly ready to go...just waiting on some washing in the machine downstairs. Might go and ask MK whether we should start packing the car.

1. Hope we haven't forgotten anything.
2. I probably won't have access to a computer to update here...so I will be back on Sunday night.
