Last week I celebrated my birthday. I had cake with more candle on it than cake(yeah I am old!!) and I got a couple or recipe books from Dina for presents. I think that was her not quite subtle way of telling me that I should be doing all the cooking till my next birthday. To be fair I had expressed an interest in buying these particular books as they have recipes that could be made with just four ingredients. They are bestsellers in Australia. Go here to check them out.
I also got cake at work. It is part of the work culture to have cake on all employees' birthdays. And since I was fasting they were nice enough to schedule the get together for 6pm and most of them stayed behind on a Friday to celebrate with me. I am really liking this new job!
Dina and I went out for the obligatory birthday dinner during the weekend. We went to our favourite Indian restaurant on Sydney Road and just stuffed our faces. That always happens when we go out to eat. W e eat too much and then have to spend the rest of the night trying not to move too much in case we burst!
Anyways it was a lovely birthday and thanks to the internet, I got heaps of wishes from lots of people I might not have otherwise got wishes from. My parents and siblings and cousins also called me up. I haven't had that many phone calls in one day since god knows when. All in all, it was a very special birthday.
