Wow - this weekend was completely HUGE. Thanks go out to those who called from afar specifically to wish me a HB - Snod from Perth, Lisa from USA, M&D from Tasmania and Bryce from Hamburg (although I missed his call as I was out - d’oh!).

Saturday was an early morning rise, with the markets scheduled. Dodgy weather threatened the day, but it was mostly pleasant enough. Got some great tomatos and mushrooms for the bbq on Sunday, and had a pretty nice morning. Breakfast with the market crew at Harvey’s was nice, as usual, and after that I made my way to M&D’s place, so that I could have lunch at the ‘Foo with Woo. Great feed, with a complimentary starter for my birthday. Lovely.

Oh, I scored a pasta machine from M&D, so that afternoon I made a mess in our kitchen making the worst pasta ever made. It was like 2 minute noodles, but when I told Rob of this mis-adventure, he assured me that he would take me under his wing and show me how it is done properly. Whew.

Anyway, Blacky and I went to see The Rules of Attraction I think it is called, and it was complete CRAP. Dawson from Dawson’s Creek as the bad drug-dealer-dead-on-the-inside person, and the amazingly hot Shannyn Sossamon as someone else, but it was not a good movie. Continues the tradition of bad movies on my birthday - I recall that Bek, Johno W and I went to see Boogie Nights on my birthday a couple of years ago - now that was wierd.

Sunday went pretty flawlessly. John and I picked up the bus from the good folks at Budget early that morning, drove it back to my place, loaded up everyone, went to Maroochydore, unloaded everything onto the boat, boated and fished for some time, ate like kings and queens, returned back to shore, loaded up the bus, and went home. Bek, Leyton, Blacky and I then caught 8 Mile on SVCD before I exhaustedly fell asleep.

BTW, our hot water’s back. I don’t know when it left, but last night’s shower was considerably less good than this morning’s.
