Thurs, 25th Sept 2008

I had a terrific 36th :-P birthday - thanks to Mum for the birthday feast and little gifts and cake and wine.... :-)

Two very similar shots of the table.
Some octopus with olive oil from a tin which I bought from Sainbury's. I added some crushed black pepper and shredded coriander.
Mum made a lovely braised duck, some brocolli with braised mushrooms, scallops and abalone, meatballs with beancurd and vegs in scallop stock and we bought some roast meat.
Two birthday cakes. And mum made my favourite waterchestnut cake - all trembly and crunchy.

And goodness, how tall they both look in this pic.
The evening ended with a mini yoga session on the living room floor! It was hard going after the meal and wine, and several buttons had to be popped in order to get into some poses.
