Its my birthday.

I love having a birthday in Summer, bearing in mind this is all very novel to me. Gone are the days where we'd all huddle ourselves in to a warm pub watching out for ice on the footpath as we stumbled home. Oh yes. Now, I have sunshine, daylight, beaches and BBQ's. I thought I was over getting excited about birthdays - prospect of aging has starting to sink in - but this is quite a treat and I have reverted to a child getting really enthusiastic about my birthday.

Tomorrow, there'll be a BBQ at a lovely little beach in Sydney called Red Leaf with proverbially pommy pimms and lemonade and am looking forward to the prospect of just chilling out in the sun OUTDOORS!

On Sunday, my real birthday, I'm going to Palm Beach to stay at my friends beautiful holiday home. I do feel spoilt. I can't deny that I will be missing my gorgeous friends in the UK, if only they could be here too...
