Birthday:)

Mine and my Country's!;)


We celebrated my birthday with lunch in Manly.


@ Hugos -- it's right on the wharf..The views are gorgeous; the ambience casual, modern and funky; the food - entrees pricey but the pizza good..the wine - overpriced!!( If it's views and ambience you're after, definitely go there, but if it's cheapish value-for-money meals and wine, go elsewhere.

The local teens provided the entertainment by regularly leaping off the railing on the wharf into the harbour below, en masse, with lots of noise, and attracting the local constabulary who moved them on, only to have them return half an hour later and do it all again. They were harmless and having fun..but it IS dangerous!

I did my bit for Australia Day and the country by wearing my new shoes:) - such a fashion statement!!


We were planning to go to the open air cinema on the harbour to see "Australia" at night, but it rained(hard), so we ate takeaway sushi on our laps in the lounge room and had a glass of wine and watched the Australian Open instead. . Thanks go to Megan who trekked into Lady Macquarie's Chair via ferry and queued for 2 hours, only to have the plan pulled when it rained:(...and then had to get all the way home again!!
