The Big Bash

How do you celebrate a friend's big birthday?
With French champagne of course!
One for every decade...


Mix with some of the best weather that Victoria 
has been able to muster in the last few weeks...
Woo Hoo hello sunshine.


Which had us reaching for our sunnies, 
and sun block - yippee!

And created some lovely sunsets...



Add in some great company,
with the sort of really good friends 
that you can dredge up those embarrassing memories 
from times long gone.
Remember when ....


Enjoy some wonderful over indulgence 
on the fine dining front 
with many good meals together...
A birthday cake with sparklers and ice cream...


An exotic location out of Melbourne
Where even the flowers
look happy and relaxed...

Where the famous Aussie Eucalyptus gumnuts 
are the best I've ever seen...

Gumnuts for Today's Flowers

Wow - what a great time we had.
Thanks for a brilliant weekend!

Here's to the next 50 years.

Do you think we can manage ten bottles of champagne 
when we are 100 years old?

Thanks Lori!

Our balcony Sunbirds!

Something beautiful is happening at our place, I can hear the little birds sing! This is no mean feat as we live way up high, above the 30th floor. I love my new apartment it is just perfect, except that I missed the birds. Then guess what? Two of the cutest little Thai Sunbirds decided to join us and build a nest. Talk about the happiest bird watch ever! Our sunbird on our orchids Let's go back a bit and remind you about my Bangkok life. I've arrived in this great city from Melbourne Australia. Where I have a garden that I love and although the birds are a little cautious about visiting us, on account of the Crazy Poodle, we enjoyed all manner of what I think of as exotic birds - bright parrots, laughing kookaburras etc Rainbow lorikeets checking to see what the Crazy Poodle is up to! Our first Bangkok apartment at Embassy Place was chosen for it's amazing position overlooking one of the US Embassy compounds. The American Ambassador in Bangkok, has a ni...
