Mike's birthday

Well I think Mike had a nice birthday with international calls and e-mails, cards, presents, dinner out and birthday cake. Thanks to all of you that sent greetings in one form or another.

Can you believe Tommy made this wonderful cake! It is a vegan chocolate fudge cake with a chocolate fudge icing and vegan buttons, it was delicious. Tommy has been on holiday from work this week so had time to cook.

In the evening Mike and I went to Belugas for dinner, it was very tasty, we both chose a fish dish with a nice bottle of white wine, we cut dessert having had cake earlier and moved to Frankes bar for coffee. It is quite quirky in there and I really like their coffee.

Mike said he has learn't from you Peach that his birthday is going to last more than one day! His new rule is that he needs birthday spoiling until the bottle of whisky he got as a present is finished! I think I will have to help him drink it.

Hope you are all well

love S xx

Wiggies Turn

Thought I'd better put a couple of photos of Wiglet on the blog for you to see how beautiful she is. She loves sleeping on our bed and actually I did join her on Sunday and could see what she finds so alluring!

She gets very excited looking out of the window at the birds in the tree in the front garden. Her tail swishes about and she gets all twitchy but once in the garden she hasn't got a clue which is good.

Em and I went out to the Belgium Monk for mussels and chips and rasberry beer this evening. We were supposed to go to f**** club but oh! well. We felt bad then and walked around Norwich for nearly 2 hours. We saw a boat sinking on the river and the fireman there etc. Not dark until 21.00hrs now and it was a warm evening so it was lovely. Walked around the cathedral close as well to see the magnolia trees in bloom which always reminds me of Tom's birthday.

Well hope you are gradually aclimatising to Vietnam.

lots of love Mum xx

Squeak

Well if the birds won't come to me I'll go to them. He was very confident on the roof. Note the blue sky, we just had a lovely warm weekend.

The other one is him rolling about trying to get the leaves off. He came in covered in leaves and shook, just like a dog thats been in water leaving a big pile of them on the kitchen floor. I guess he got into the middle of a bush looking for birds. He has 3 bells on his collar now but they are covered in fur so you can't see them.

Interviews and Nights Out!

Puja bought this lovely suit ready for her interview which she looks very smart in. She had a practice run with David and Dad and we made her do everything as properly as possible, including getting dressed up! Will keep you posted.

Me with my chunky legs [read e-mail I have sent] ready to go out with about 9 others including Glynis and Judy. Taxi was waiting and so I was reluctant to pose. This is one of the dresses I am thinking you may like to wear when you get back. We did have a good night and will be great to include you in the group when you are back, most of them are much younger than me so you won't be out with all oldies.
