- That my birthday didn't fall on Grand Final day this year
- That my boyfriend doesn't need any 'training up' in order to choose wonderful birthday presents:

- That each day I sit down to a wonderful job that I enjoy, and am surrounded by so many lovely people who are infinitely supportive thru this little blog. Thanks so much :)

Best viewed large (like our stomachs afterwards)
This was all insanely indulgent of us, and cost way too much money. But hey, it was a once off opportunity and I don't pamper myself often :)
