a magical day in the life of

***50***

and that is my age now....and you know what I don't even mind.....my baby shares the same Day and is 26 and we both had a ball....it was a beautiful hot day...we didn't plan too much....I wanted to be a little self indulgent....so I put up pink and white balloons...we had a cake....a few friends and family popping in through the day...nothing too planned....just as well since I fell backwards of a chair when to trying to put up a flag banner...it was a foldout one which decided to ...fold up ...whilst I was perched on top , balancing precariously....backs of my legs are well bruised..ribs hurt, aching neck bit no broken bones....lucky a!!!!

some flowers and special balloons as pressies and surprise fireworks in the evening....







...made a fab veggie taco mix and lots nibbles....a little to much bubbly but hey....what does one expect!!!


the cake was delicious ...thick rich dense chocolate...just how we like it........Mich needs money for her trip...so I put money notes into all kinds of food containers...she is just pulling out a slimy banana (note attached) from a tomatoe puree pack ...other notes I inserted into pasta rings and peanut shells...all wrapped beautifully in flowery paper to hide the various boxes...i.e. oxo....flour etc...anyway was fun...her mate said we were freaks but I don't care....so what it like being 50....no different to being 49....at least I didn't fall off the chair at 50....but hey, there's a whole year to try that one!

toodleoooo......
