THE BRISBANE BIRTHDAYS

There was birthday gifts to select and family visits - all good, the usual daily chores and shopping. Got two pillow speakers at Jaycar - one for a spare and another as backup, I would hate to be unable to listen to my radio through my pillow.
We celebrated Amelia's birthday on the Friday, she is collecting things for her glory box, so a Royal Albert cup, saucer and plate went down well.  Roast lamb on the barbeque, yum.
At the market Saturday morning at the showground, I mostly bought fresh fruit and vegetables
On the Saturday night we celebrated with both birthday girls and their partners and the rest of the family at a Mexican restaurant in Redcliffe, an area we know well from other visits to our family.
On Sunday it was Leanne's special birthday and we travelled 47 klms to a restaurant at Mount Glorious, it had been raining so we ate inside and the view was not as glorious as it might have been due to low cloud etc., but the meal was lovely.
On return to Gourlay family home there was afternoon tea, I took scones, macaroons, birthday cake.
I gave Leanne the box we had carried so far, containing her baby book, clinic reports, school reports, some of her baby clothes and toys and a lock of her girlhood hair.  The actual velvet dress was red not maroon as the photo depicts, she had the usual trouble of finding where to cut the cake that bore her photo.
Olivia's birthday was on the Moonday and she had work in the morning, uni middle of the day then went to dinner with her beau Dion.
