It was my birthday yesterday - no earth shattering event by any means, but nevertheless my special day. The sun was out, I had the day off, and a day to spend as I wished. Jake and I had 3 walks, one to the new mailbox up the road, where I picked up a nice stack of birthday cards as you can see below.

I puttered in the garden, deadheading and cleaning up the finished blooms. Next I met my friend Robyn for lunch at the new CupCutter restaurant at the golf course, but forgot my camera. I had a lovely salad and 4 prawn shooters. When I got back home I pulled the fountain out of the pond and watched the fish swimming in sparking clear water. When the fountain comes out, I know I am ready for winter.
Dinner was at Tuscany with my friend Joanne. I had the most delicious linguine vongole:

Joanne had an incredibe special apple pizza with carmelized onions and cheese:

Later that evening went down the road to Bob and Susan's who made me a special rum cake with whipping cream! Very yummy.

Chris was in town all day for another event, so he and I will celebrate tonight or tomorrow.
