Birthday Flowers

It has been a pretty busy week but a good week - yesterday I was spoilt, another birthday rolled around and these arrived at work for me yesterday morning. Totally spoilt by my wonderful Husband and what a lovely surprise. They arrived whilst I was on playground duty. Some of the year 7's came chasing after me and told me I was urgently needed in the library. Couldn't for the life of me work out why I was urgently needed back there.
They got a real buzz by beating me back to the library- the flowers were on my desk and they all sang "Happy Birthday" to me. They were really excited and keen to see my surprise when I saw my flowers.

Some of the girls I used to work with then took me out for afternoon tea after school and I got these. My house looks and smells beautiful. Love these girls. None of us work together anymore but we still keep in touch. We all scrapbook together as well. Had a lovely time and didn't get home till nearly 6pm.

Steve and Chloe took me to the movies and then out for a quick bite afterwards, so all in all it was a lovely day.










Just wanted to share a few of these other photos also. The night of Chloe's Valedictory dinner we had a look at the new building at school. Went to the top floor and had a magnificent view of the lights of the city, Pity I didn't have my tripod, as it was hard to take a photo that wasn't blurred but I did have fun taking these photos - especially waving the camera around and making these patterns.

On the weekend we went to friends place for lunch and had a lovely time. Took some awesome photos of my friends daughter racing her go carts but probably can't share them as I haven't asked her if she minds if I put her kids photos on the net. So happy witht them though,

Got a couple of photos of Chloe with her Dad and my girlfriend and her son.

Not a lot of other news to share - really just need an early night.

This quote arrived in an email today - thought it was just worth sharing with you all.

'Be kinder than necessary because Everyone you meet, is fighting some kind of battle'.

Be back again soon with more to share.
