Birthdays are Great!

A lovely steak followed with beans, carrots and potatoes (yay for meat and 3 veg) and my second piece of yummy carrot cake for dessert.

A very personal show with one actor interweaving Homer’s Odyssey and the story of his parents’ migration from Greece to Australia.

I rang up the supplier and we are rectifying the problem, but I have told them to charge me for one of the big pieces so I can experiment this weekend. 🙂 I’ve already cut into it hehehe
