This year I decided to celebrate my birthday over an entire week, just because I can.
Monday – Got a nice long sleep in and a very lazy morning. Popped out to see the in laws and check out their new car. Went to the supermarket to get stuff for tea – home made pizza. Had some craft time. Watched the BBL final between the Hobart Hurricanes and the Sydney Thunder.
Tuesday – My actual birthday day. Quiet day just pottering around home. A made me a birthday cake.
Moved the dishwasher out of the kitchen.
Stuffed around on the internet.
J & K made me Honey chicken for tea then we had Vienetta & cake for dessert.
Watched my niece in the finals of the Tasmania Inline Hockey Cup.
Wednesday – Pay day so I did the usual pay day things like ordering groceries and paying bills.
We got our new dishwasher delivered. Our other had nothing but problems after just shy of two years – just before the warranty ran out. Lucky for us we got an extended care plan so they offered us a replacement after much faffing about and 3 lots of repairs. Here’s hoping this one won’t do the same.
We then headed to town to grab a few back to school things for the kiddos.
Had a bit of a Chinese banquet at home to celebrate Chinese New Year
Thursday – Did have a full day planned but decided to keep it simple. We’d planed to head to Bridport Food Vans for tea with Dad & the in-laws, plus one of K’s friends but… K got bitten by something and had a reaction so we took her to the doctor then something else happened so we decided to postpone visiting the vans until a later date. Instead we grabbed fish & chips from our favourite take away and K & her friend crashed in the tent in the backyard.
Friday – Headed back up to town as J had an MRI booked. Went to Bunnings and grabbed some plants with the gift card from my brother then Kmart to grab a few things with money from Dad.
Picked up another one of K’s friends and we headed out to the beach to have have hot chips then went for a wander along the beach while the kids went for a swim.
Had fried ice cream for desert (leftovers from Chinese New Year)
Saturday – Got a sleep in.
Today was Lammas but I decided to spread our celebrations over 2 days.
J mowed the lawn while I planted my new plants in the front garden.
Had a roast lamb with roast veg for tea then apple crumble for dessert.
Sunday – Finished off birthday week by watching the Bathurst 12 hour, watching the Royal Rumble and having some craft time while J & one of his mates played Fall Out.
Lammas celebrations today included using the leftover lamb to make Lamb Curry, making some bread and creating Prosperity jars.
Overall not a bad week and I got lots of things I enjoy doing done.
