The first Hot birthday!

Well today started with a bang (a scare really as i have hit the over the hill mark!) no explosions :) but an explosive start to the day !

Up at 05.45 and down to the airport! (yes Hervey Bay does have one!) Then 15 minutes later and a pink fluffy drinks holder (which i am saving for Nick!) as a present from the Flight company, we were up in the air.

Tims last wish was that we were not flying in the cesner as he had heard they fall out of the sky all the time!! And low and behold it was :) Colour draining from his face and perking up in mine!

In the plane we clambered and all safely tucked in off we went! up and away and heading to Point Vernon where we live as i wanted a good look over the area and the house!

I had no idea where we were so i just kept taking pictures in the hope i would get it in one of them! And i did, i will put it up here but you need to enhance it to about 100% to see the house i have marked it in red so it should be easier to find than the half hour it took me!

Tim took one and even go the dog in the garden! so when he gets back he will put it up i am sure! (Tim was called out to do some work on a friends PC so i am waiting for him to come back and then we were going for a drink)

You will just have to make do with mine for now!

When we landed i was taken to breakfast, having a nice muffin and chocolate milkshake (Dave gave me hassle for putting down all the food that we have eaten over our time here and said he was bored and did not want to read that in the blog!

So sorry Dave, it was my first ever hot birthday and to have an ice-cream milk shake on it and not freeze to death was an experience for me!

We then got home to find a bunch of flowers had tried to be delivered and a note saying to ring! Well my little baby sent me flowers from the other side of the world!!!! How fantastic! and what a nice treat, my first ever bunch of flowers in Oz! Lots of firsts today! :) They even smelled as good as they looked, with a cute ickkle ladybird stuck on a leaf (not a real one, just wood) and some glitter on the gerbera and the red roses! And strangely all the roses smell great, not sure how forced they are in the UK but i have had very few that have had a smell at all!

Back at the house was a gift waiting from John and Dulcie a lovely stained glass beginners book to inspire me more! So move over Steve Sherrif Yvonne's in Oz and loves it! The house will be filled with it and every one will get glass gifts from now on so be warned!

My morning wake up of the larakeets was not to be, as there is a shortage of sunflowers seeds and you just cant get them anywhere so the bird have gone else where to get what they want :(

We are out to dinner tonight with some friends at Hoolihans the Irish bar/foody place, so looking forward to celebrating getting old with different friends (strange not having the old ones around to hassle you!).

Well talking of hassle! a big thanks Margaret for reminding me that i am 6 months older than her and that i will need a sheep dog bra!! to round my breasts up and point them in the right direction! :) You wait for your birthday girl!!! Mum and Dad for again reminding me how old i am!!, Shirley, Bob and Tracey and Avril! To be honest i was not expecting any all this way (as you have to be very organised to send them a week in advance!) but i did get the e-greeting cards from, my Aunt Lorna (very switched on and hip she is) Nick and Gary! As you are all fast asleep and its not really my birthday yet i am sure there will be more to come tonight so please dont be upset, i probably did get your message but while i was out at dinner or sleeping!

And fro those who forget!!!I will remind you constantly every day until my next birthday!

You better all start saving up as when i hit the big 50 there is going to be a big party here in Oz (if i make the next 3 years without being eaten by a shark or bitten by a snake or spider!)

As Tim is not back and it is 15.30 i will get my own beer from the fridge and read my stained glass window making book (and have 40 winks!) before i go out for dinner tonight!

will add more blog later after we have been out for dinner!

big luv to you all and lots of thanks for remembering me
