Happy Birthdayuh to me ayeah wooh

guitar Wooh it's my birthday. Look what I got from Toni. And! she took me to The Loose Box (Perth people go ooooh, rest of you - best French restaurant/restaurant in Perth by most accounts) last night. Lucky duck. More later, gotta put my casserole on. Hmmmm podcasts?



dessert Loose Box! Why can't Perth people dress up? You wear pants, and a shirt that you tuck in, and you can even knock yourself out with a matching jacket. It's called a suit. Not like I'm expecting Windsor knots. Cocktails before dinner, not rum and cokes during. Dinner was ace. Had the vichyssoise, the the pigs trotters in a kind of terrine casing, duck confit, with a pudding to finish. Toni had the venison with red wine, chocolate and pear (refuses to answer if my vension was better, hmmm) . Washed down with a nice bottle of Beaujolais and a Tasmanian sticky. They make great bread rolls too.
partyAnd thank you all for the fabulous casseroles Saturday night.

Hey all. Cheers and thanks. Anyone for some leftover spam casserole? Got plenty.

Thanks for the cake offers, cakes, cake eating offers, age relatising, and once I nail "Little Brown Jug", it's going to be go betweens simulcast wig out.

Thanks for making the journey today, overcoming the effects of the heavily laced casseroles from yube. Zai spent the afternoon kicking the balloons all over.
Happy birthday to you too!

No worries, I wasn't in the most sociable of states but was glad I could rouse the kids into an "ow" every time the elmo and cooki cake got sliced.
Chef
It's shinola
Sam
Most prudent (or sandwiches for that matter).
Keiko
Thanks. As a classic birthday princess I'm actually trying to keep it going as long as possible.
FX
I know, I know snork!

Cheers! Getting on the good (cla)fout(is)

I hope so too. I'm running out of Perth French restaurants. Mr Manners wore a grey suit with an orange shirt, no tie. Should have worn long sleeve but was surprised that was where I was going.

Hi Anthony,

What cool serving dishes. Remind me to look for some just like those. I could use those on to celebrate yakudoshi in a couple of years!

Thanks and welcome back to the world of blogging. The consequences will be curried sausage casserole related.
Manas
Did he ever play Kumbaya? It may be more difficult than I imagined.
Reid
They were a gift from anonymous-sensei. They may well ward of the evils of yakudoshi with some kabbalistic reinterpretations of the name of god such as trpay and yrtpa.

Happy birthday Spicey!! May I just say that with that guitar in hand you do a great impression of "working man's poet" William Bragg esquire... (and praise don't come higher than that...)

Had a glass of champagne in your honour in Paris on Saturday afternoon (see how I suffer for my friends??) - hope you had an ab fab day & many many more.
