Tuesday

9th november

The 9th of November: today is my birthday. I unashamedly love birthdays. I have friends who worry each year about age, and where they thought they'd be versus where they are; but I seem not to be afflicted with that particular worry, thankfully. (I have plenty of other worries instead)

The Man and I had a delicious lunch and tea at The Boat House cafe, in Palm Beach. I had never been there before, and only found it by chance a few months ago looking for another cafe's contact details online. It's an excellent location, and perfectly decorated, too.

Then we stopped at Wirreanda Nursery on the way home and I picked out a beautiful Aeonium Arboreum as my gift.

The rest of my bounty is a scarf, some tea, some tea cups, and a metal bookmark. Thank you, everyone!

Now we're having a relaxed night at home, sipping tea from the Morrocan glasses from The Man and listening to the frogs outside.

A good birthday indeed.
