Just finishing up on my birthday week...
Here's a cheers to you all for my birthday wishes!!!
Mr Armchair took JoJo and I out to dinner at Monet's just before the weekend...
Scallops here...
Sushi...delicious!!!
The wine...
The meals...lamb above...bouillabaisse below (a traditional Provençal fish stew originating from the port city of Marseille)
Chocolate Mousse...
The 3 of us...
The next morning our Daughter Jacqueline and her Hubby arrived to leave our little Grandson Ryan for us for a few days for the school holidays...On Sunday morning we went our for breakfast...
Here is Ryan with his little Sister Lidija sharing a milkshake...
how cute are they!!!
Ryan love his trains...
he called us to come and look at the beautiful train track he made...
when he grows up he wants to re-instate the train tracks throughout the country...How cool is that...and all from a 6 year old...he actually said it when he was 5...
We had pancakes on Monday morning and JoJo set the table...
she laid out the jams and syrup...and Ryan's water bottle...
Good thinking JoJo!!!
Ryan lined up his trains...I thought we would watch Harry Potter together...
he didn't make it through the movie...it all got a bit too much for him...
will have to watch it another time...he did like the train and the owl though!!!
We went out for birthday lunch on Tuesday...
Ryan loves to be in photos...
On Thursday I met my friend Asta for coffee at Starfish Deli...
and she had a surprise gift for me...
this little stitched bag...isn't it gorgeous...
beautiful warm colours...
together with a little Anni Downs notebook and a lovely card...
Thank you so much dear Asta...loved the catch up...we'll do it again soon!!!
We spontaneously took a drive up the little historic village of Milton on Saturday...
OoLaLa Charm Pack by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda...
and a fun 1930's Jelly Roll...30's Playtime "Chloe's Closet"...I've never bought anything like this before...
I entered a swap...
Pic found on internet
And to finish off the week...
Mr Armchair commutes to work 2 hours each way...
due to all the rain we have had Clyde Mountain had a landslide and it took him 4 and half hours to get home...I understand the engineers are working on it amongst others to clear it all...
And due to this Ryan isn't coming here this week!!!
Have a great week everyone...Love Dzintra xo

The family are all growing up so fast,Ryan has his head screwed on re the railways.Enjoy your new gift and patchwork material. Hope hubby gets home quicker this week, see that is what happens when the rain stays on one side of Australia!!! Send some across please.
