Hump Day Again

It's Wednesday already! The time has just flown by. A year older at 57, I had a wonderful birthday four days. It started on Friday with our friend Kay arriving from Toowoomba for the weekend. Saturday was lunch at Sandgate and a curry night at Di and Torquil's - there were ten of us there. Sunday was lunch at The Jetty at Manly and a coffee at the other Kay's house, then on Monday (the real day) Kay left for Toowoomba early, I followed to school. A special morning tea for me was followed by cake at my student's home where I tutor after school. While I was there Rene's sister and her partner rang me on my mobile from Holland. That was a real surprise. They've just picked up their new puppy 'Splinter' from England. I hope for a fresh picture any day soon so I can show you the cute cocker spaniel. The day ended with a surprise note on the kitchen bench when I got back at 6:45 from Rene saying "meet me at the Albion Hotel for dinner". When I arrived I had dinner with Rene plus Di and Torquil, so a perfectly special day for me. I always love a fuss on my birthday. On Tuesday there was even another special cake a day late at another of my schools. Fantastic!
