Nicole the Birthday Girl

For Nicole's birthday yesterday she did entertaining things like go to College in the morning and in the afternoon we did entertaining things like going to take photographs of Peter in the shop in which he works for my college assignments. Work work work.

Besides that we went and partook in coffee and turkish sandwiches at West End where Nicole treated herself to a battery of anointments from Perfect Potions, then in the evening Val looked after Eloise while the grown ups went out for one of their occasional social jaunts to Tukka, where haute cuisine meets Bush Tucker. My food was unremarkable in terms of its ingredients, though very nice; I had a timbale of something or other with some other stuff and pea pie with peas on the side. Nicole's was a bit more remarkable in that she dined on steaks of crocodile and kangaroo, both of which looked quite tasty and reportedly were very nice.

We got home not too late to find Val chilled out and Eloise asleep although Squeaks had had botty problems and her poo wasn't right, so another bout of sickness is on the cards.

And indeed today I feel pretty grim with sore joints and a threat of a headache, which bodes well for Mum's arrival tomorrow doesn't it?
