Birthday Feasting

It was my birthday last Saturday.

On the whole it was a very quiet day

Especially if you are a pampered Great Dane

The dogs are being very quiet.
I wonder where they are?

We started the day at Hill House and meandered down to our place around lunch time and pottered about in the garden

Lindsey and Ian came by at around 7:15 (in a taxi) and took us to Kambei where we had what is becoming the customary Birthday Dinner - the 6 course tasting menu. We've been there for 3 out of the past 4 years.  (We stayed at home and had crayfish salad for the missing year)

My birthday weekend continued to be quiet and peaceful. We pottered in the garden some more. We pottered in the house. We pottered out to the Delacombe shops. We pottered into the evening.  Lovely!

My birthday celebrations continued even unto Tuesday. Lindsey and I went to Brunswick in the evening and met Freyja and Simon at the Cornish Arms on Sydney Road for my birthday present of Dinner Out. It is not a pub that I had noticed before and it has a good menu catering for omnivores and vegans. The food is very good. You can walk to it from Freyja and Simon's place. It's not really walkable from the flat but it is tram-able.  Lindsey and I had taxied there because of time constraints but we trammed back, via the city centre where we stopped to look at the Christmas lights.

So  a much feasted birthday.  We should probably turn our attention now to Christmas which is bearing down upon us at speed.
