all good

On Friday night we had a very last minute catch up with a friend for her birthday which had been buried under the silt & sediment of real life.
So it was belated & all the usual crowd were not in attendance. The birthday girl was about to have a big drive so couldn't indulge heartily.
BUT...
The weather was kind & lovely enough to permit getting together outdoors in our close & favourite little park (scene of MANY a Friday night pizza & beers event).
Kids and dogs ran amok and nibbles were nibbled.
I had to make a cake. It would have been poxy not to have had a cake, so I used a recipe (yes, I really did) from the Delicious magazine which promised "idiot proof" yumminess. It was delish indeed, especially covered with lashings of fresh cream and sparklingly luscious strawberries!
Then Saturday was my darling Dad's birthday and we celbrated by having a roast chicken dinner with him and then rushing out to celebrate another friend's 40th (and leaving Dad to babysit!)
Sunday, Father's day, was a lavish hot brekky with bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomato & spinach. Yum.
Stomachs still groaning, we headed off to a family late lunch and got to meet the newest arrival, baby James! And the last, I promise, photo of his quilt.
It was a great weekend! Hope yours was too.
