weekend wonders.

here's some snapshots of our weekend.

we hung out with our brilliant friends kat, ben and aaron to squeeze the very last drops out of my birthday. we went out for mexican and stuffed ourselves silly. kat made me an incredible cake and everyone spoilt me with the best gifts. (maybe i ate some of said cake for dinner tonight). 

it was a pretty fun night, despite what the photo of aaron may lead you to believe. the boys ate this ridiculously hot chilli sauce, so hot that they had to ask the waiter for a glass of milk and benny even cried a little bit. 

tee hee hee, little girls. says this little girl who was too scared to even try it.

we also slothed about on the couch, visited my grandmama and blu-tacked some family photos onto our wall of beauties. and right now we're topping it off with some midsomer murders and listening to the rain.

hope your weekend was delightful! x

25 today

all i wanted for my birthday was:

1. cake
2. a dinner date

what i really got was:

1. a morning alarm in the form of some very sleepy happy birthday singing from bond at 6am.
2. some amazing gifts from my lovely boyfy, even a couple of surprise gifts i didn't know about. and if you know me, you know that's no mean feat since i ruin pretty much every surprise i'm involved in, as surprise giver or surprise receiver. one of my gifts came from here. let me know if you guess what one it is.
3. delicious breakfast in bed
4. a gorgeous sunny day
5. a free ride to work on the bus
6. a couple of surprise packages at work from my gorgeous family and a super friend.
7. a delicious homemade cake from my work friends complete with candles.
8. a special delivery of beautiful flowers to my desk.
9. a supreme dinner date with bond to porteno, where i ate so much incredible food i felt a bit sick - including the world's best dessert. it was like a cross between pavlova and peanut brittle and trifle.
10. a phone call from my wifey in the uk

i am truly truly lucky to have such wonderful people in my life to help me celebrate my 25 years of living.

thanks everyone for making my day super special. (especially you matthew bond you lovely man x).
