Happy Birthday Mummy

Well, almost. yes, my birthday has come around again and, as it falls on a monday, we have celebrated today. been out to the winebox cafe in albany with nick and sarah. the meal was delicious and mia behaved brilliantly. we have bought her a new buggy, a marvellous thing - you can just see it in the background. it is lightweight (6kg) and collapses down into a bag so we'll be able to use it for our trip back to england. toby took her out in it earlier today and got several remarks - what a beautiful baby and what a beautiful buggy!! no plans for tomorrow evening though no doubt we will pop for a drink somewhere after work or enjoy some nice wine. we had a sudden urge for port today, having not had any since leaving the uk so we bought a bottle of soljans port. absolutely delicious, especially with brie and blue cheese. long week ahead but at least we get next monday off. ironically, the queen's birthday is a public holiday here. well, it's getting late and i have stuff to do so best sign off. heavy week of work and training ahead, i will be producing the annual report at work so am getting trained up in desktop publishing. we'll be up and out of the house just after 7am tomorrow so gotta get everything ready tonight - mia's bag packed, bottles sterilised, shirts ironed, lunch made..... ugh. will try and add some more pix of mia during the week. she has a very cute "bear" fleece babygrow so i'll post some pix of her in it. lots of love.
