We’ve celebrated our anniversary with a dinner out last night with one of our children (Georgia had a sleepover at a friend’s house). We went to the local: the Kermandie. It was excellent. Matthew was (is) the perfect child: sitting quietly, eating quietly and generally being overly obedient and pleasant. He had a pirate cheeseburger with chips. Monte had a parmi and I had a seafood basket, which was served on a plate the size of a small table! The food was brilliant and the chef came to talk to us when we had eaten – we had told the waitress to tell the chef that the mango cheesecake was brilliant!

Anyway, to continue the celebrations with a drive and a picnic at Cygnet. It was a nice day and we had a relaxing time. We drove to Snug Falls – we didn’t do the walk because I was wearing heels (clever), but we might do that another day. It’s a beautiful place we’re living in! We ate Tassie salmon and Tassie dips and cheese and bread on our little outing.

Matthew, having just seen a real (bright green) Ben10 car! What joy!
