It was the catalyst for the holiday, and yet it still seemed so far away - Alison's 30th Birthday finally arrived!
Unfortunately, its a Friday, which means work - but not for the full day. Thank goodness, I got to go home at lunchtime, even if I had to clean the house and get things ready for a house full of visitors for the weekend. And when I say a house full, I mean it!
Had only finished lunch and started on the cleaning when Mum and Derrick arrived. Mum and I went to pick up a package that the courier couldnt deliver the previous day (as no-one was home), while Derrick unpacked the car and Andrew kept on with the cleaning.
Not long after this, Marylyn, Tim and the girls arrived. Just got them settled in and Mum and I were off again - this time into the city to pick up Auntie Lorraine. It was so great that she could come over, especially having been over just a few weeks before.
By the time we got home again, dinner was almost ready and Andrews Mum and Dad had arrived, along with David and Carolyn! Dinner was great - Marylyn and Mum had organised salmon pasta with birthday cake for dessert - a baked cheesecake - both were very yummy!
It was a full on day, but there was more to come for the rest of the weekend....
