Interesting... re Queens birthday...

I have just found out that the queen actually has a second birthday in June because her actual birthday is in April and April showers make celebrating her birthday not so fun!!

Actually, its something about official birthday duties such as parades etc being better in June... makes sense!

The funny thing is, I often joke that I wanted to move here because I hated having a winter birthday... Liz, I like your idea of 2 birthdays though! ;-)

Happy birthday your majesty...

This weekend will be a bank holiday here (for the queens birthday!)
Its nice cos the UK have loads this time of year, and I think some of my expat friends might be missing them... me not so much, as with no job, every day is a bank holiday! lol

We have a nice food filled weekend planned:
Saturday, there is a food and wine festival on here in Manly
Sunday, we are going for a YUMMY roast for my friend Becs birthday- hope there is Yorkshire puds!
Monday, Sham is working, but we are planning to meet Neal for dinner in the city.
Tuesday, will probably need to start the diet!

The best part is that it looks like the weather might be ok again by the weekend - Sydney has been on a spin cycle all week!

Messages for people at home...

There are a few things going on back in the UK this weekend that I am gutted to not be part of:

Heena - Hope you have a GREAT party! Can't wait to hear all about it and see the pics!

Jojo- Good luck for the Race for Life! Well done for all the money you have raised- so proud of you!

Mum2 (Sham's mum)- Hope you get to do something nice for your birthday - we love and miss you lots!

Nee- Hope Jai has a lovely birthday party... and that you aren't too shattered!

Selina- Have a great time on your travels... can't wait to have you guys over in Aug!

Lastly, incase you haven't already heard, Shamir's contract at PWC has been extended till Oct. This is great news and means that we can now change our flights back to November... looks like we are going to get to stay - for a bit longer anyway!
