Dinner last night was good once Stuart finally got off the phone with our treasurer and was able to join us. We dined on a deck overlooking the mangroves and got glimpses of barking owl, flying foxes and two pelicans flying over!
I had the duck. I don't just like watching my birds. ;)
Then came the cake. Now, Alice and Stu tried their hardest to keep me away so they could do this all in secret but unfortunately I was around and figured it out but that was okay, it was still lovely. Apparently the night before - when I was really awake and didn't leave the shadehouse until about 9:30 - they were desperately trying to get rid of me so they could make the cake! I had no idea. Alice decorated it with mini M&Ms - in the shape of a rainbow bee-eater. It was brilliant. And the card - a cat, with a pair of binoculars. And inside Stuart had drawn caricatures of everyone with canes or walking frames or scooters. It was hillarious.
I was eyeing off a pearl shell bracelet in Willie Creek Pearls yesterday but phone calls distracted me. Later however I spent the $20 on yet another DVD. How could I resist BOTH Ghostbusters movies for $20. I've discovered I'm really interested in director's commentaries - it's fascinating to see just how a movie is made.
