Birthday!
I had a wonderful birthday here in Sydney (not a lot of great pictures, though). I opened Carole's presents in the morning, and I was so excited, she read my mind!! I went to see 27 Dresses and do some shopping in the afternoon, and then Louise, Stacey and I went out for dinner. We went to a great pizza place (the same one I went to with Jill and Brian) and had a nice little tiramisu for birthday cake. Stacey tried to put a happy expression on it, but in this picture it looks more like an angry face! They we walked over to Circular Quay to go the Minus 5 ("The coolest experience where everything is made from ice.") Pictures of that to come.And this is an example why asking someone to take your pictures is always a let down (can they not hold it still?
I'm having a quiet day today: applesauce cooking on the stove, "Much Ado About Nothing" playing on the computer, and a fun craft project completed! I first saw zipper pencil cases in Taiwan, and they're coming into some stores here in Sydney. Too bad I didn't think of it first, I could make a fortune! Louise and I found colourful zippers for .50 a piece, and bought some denim for the back. It would be a really quick project if you have a sewing machine, but even by hand, it's a fun little afternoon activity.
