Had a great birthday luncheon today with Mum, Trev and Amy. We went to a local lakeside restaurant at 12.30pm. We left at 3.00pm. Beautiful food and a great outlook. Thank you to all who sent me birthday wishes here and on Facebook. When not having pictures taken I wore dark glasses, by eyes are sore and my nose is running like a tap! Love Chris
1. Trev and Me.
2. Trev, Mum and Me.
3. Amy and Me.
4. Me on my own - after a couple of glasses of Champers! Alcohol makes my blood pressure rise and my face perspires! Well, that's my excuse.
5. Scampi on a Rib Eye Fillet with a Truffle oil in potato mash - Amy's lunch.
6. Lamb in Sumac with Israel Cous Cous my lunch.
7. Trev's Oysters Kilpatrick.
8. Looking out of window towards Lake Macquarie at Warners Bay.
It was a lovely luncheon and then Mum and I had Lemon Meringue Pie, Amy had Banoffee Pie and Mum and me half strength skim milk Cappuccinos. And of course I had my Sparkling Champers! Amy had a couple of glasses of wine, but she doesn't drink coffee!!

Thanks Vicki, Mum would love to hear that. I actually have my Father's big rounder face, until of course, he got sick. I look a bit like my Nanna too, so the genes have certainly gone down through the generations. I'm a bit of both! Love Chris

Thanks Lynn, Mum loves a good meal. I didn't get a picture of her Fish as she had started to eat it. I'm just about to go to bed and am sneezing and feel heavy lidded. I hope I'll be o.k. tomorrow. It's just a head cold, but I feel stuffed up. Love Chris

Ha! Maybe one day we will get to the USA and Canada too. The palm trees are very popular in round-a-bouts! Love Chris
