What We did on my birthday.

Jessica went on a two day excursion to Sydney. Here she is at quarter past six in the morning ready to go and looking slightly uneasy when being hugged by her teacher or maybe she was still half asleep.


Tina celebrated my birthday by going to the Art Gallery with Sharon (neighbour across the road) and Gloria (Michelle's Mum). I understand they had a very nice time.


Me and Alex went to school. Here's me trying to put a brave face on at the prospect of working on my birthday (Last done at Wicksteeds Park* in 1986 and when I was Camp Counsellor in 1987). I don't always wear a hat for breakfast, just trying on one of my presents. In case you were wondering, I did not get a teapot, cuddly kangaroo and artist's mannequin for my birthday. It's all part of my "Danish" birthday breakfast table. I finally got to celebrate with a coffee by the lake straight after school, a Chinese (after tennis) with Sharon and Paul across the road in the evening and a joint birthday meal out with John (birthday on 6th Aug), Lisa, Sarah and Emily (AKA the Patemans) on Friday.



* Wicksteeds Park thankfully did not have Wicky Bear and his annoying tune when I was there.

Happy Birthday Chris!

Glad you had a good one, even though you had to work, and very pleased to see the card I sent you having pride of place on the Danish table! Also glad you put a photo of Tina's friend Sharon up, as it stopped me thinking she must look like Sharon out of Kath and Kim, which has just started again over here!
