So, as my friend stated in an e-mail recently, I have joined the club of those who managed to survive to become 40! Who would have thought that...
This year I got an actual present. For those who are not familiar, I usually get a selection of cards, which have a possible present written on each. Then through various elimination processes, not always fair, I end up with one of them.
This year Martin had lost the cards, he claimed he could not remember where he hid them, so he got out to buy me a present instead. I got a Nintendo Wii console and games! We spent the morning playing tennis, skiing, boxing and other interesting things. we did not take into account our tiny over-crowded living room, but it worked out in the end.
Lunch was booked at Peter Doyle's, which is a very nice restaurant overlooking Sydney Harbour, Harbour Bridge and Opera house. We had a table just on the edge of the water and the weather was perfect. I started off with a traditional Prawn Cocktail, and then I had Grilled John Dory with Chips, as one lobster a week is probably enough. I finished off with a small dessert of Mandarin mousse. With this we had a local Hunter Valley Simillion (several bottles). This took most of the day and in the afternoon we just lazed around at home.
