TAMAHERE MARKET AND MY 65TH BIRTHDAY

MARKET DAY... on my BIRTHDAY.

ABOVE:  I baked my cake yesterday afternoon. A double chocolate cake.  I'm rather happy with how it came out.

I am sure today is going to be awesome!

After market we will be coming home and entertaining family.

There is going to be TAKEAWAYS!

LOTS AND LOTS OF TAKEAWAYS, to celebrate my 65th Birthday, and the END of my CHALLENGE.

DAY 73 DONE AND DUSTED!!!

We did it.  Very, very proud of myself.  But I don't think I'm gunna do that again.

It was a good thing to do, but yeah... it certainly cramped our style. 

ABOVE:  I really can't see where those 5 kilos came off.  Probably a tiny bit all over.  

Now, back to today.  We are heading off to market very soon.  Hopefully we have a good day, and there's lots of people out and about.

...

ABOVE: Game face is on... let the day begin.

ABOVE: Stew bought us a piece of Caramel Chocolate slice. Half each. DELICIOUS.  Nicest way to break the drought!

ABOVE:  buying our slice.

ABOVE: How lovely to see Brylee and Dominic this morning.  Its a gorgeous spring day here.

After a slow start its finally picking up at this market.

3.21 pm:  And we have been home from the market for about an hour and a half.  We had visitors waiting on our front doorstep when we arrived home.

ABOVE: My 'brother from another Mother' Richard, his wife Olla and their son Vern.

Vern and his twin Dewi celebrate their 20th Birthday tomorrow.

They stayed and visited for about an hour, then left for Palmerston North.

Griffin and Tash arrived, and Mike and Joyce, who had been out and about today while we were at the market.

The Market?  Not exceptional.  Fairly quiet in fact.  Probably due to it being a long weekend.

We did 'average' sales, so not a total bust.

We just went out and ordered the food for dinner.

*squeals*.... I am so looking forward to dinner.

THEN I shall get back on track tomorrow.  I'm NOT going to blow my diet in one day.

ABOVE:  Now I have a tiara!  I quite like it.  If I'm wearing a Tiara does that make me a queen, or a Princess?

EVERY SAYS I'm a princess.

I'm happy with that.

I am really sorry, but there's virtually NO photos of our family gathering!

I was too busy having such a good time!

I had a few wines, got a bit tipsy, had so MUCH FUN!

I enjoyed every minute of my Birthday Dinner.

Everyone came.  Everyone had a good time.  So many laughs.  Just so happy .

ABOVE:  The best birthday in a long time.  Just love my family.

We are still laughing.  

And that's if for today.  I'll be back tomorrow.

Might (but I hope not) have a little hangover!
