Yellowrageous

I had a wondeful birthday party last night. Lots of decorations and poppers and a lovely cake with a singing candle. We probably overdid it on the food and the booze, but it was an excellent night (and NZ kicked England's bottom). Now I will have to buy an X-Box and Scene It!!

I loved my presents. I got a cyclamen from Ruby Two Shoes brother. It will be added to the other cyclamens we have in hanging baskets.

Ruby Two Shoes parents and grandmother also gave me a present - a lovely jewellery roll. It is such an excellent present because normally I just throw all my jewellery into my toilet bag and can never find it easily. And now I'll be able to!

I got 2 movie passes which is fantastic as there are lots of movies I want to go to at the moment. I got some lovely candles (an example of the cool wrapping paper is in front of them) which smell delicious and some very cool cups with gorgeous etchings on them. The best present of all though is Ruby Two Shoes is going to paint me one of her amazing paintings. I have decided on a Tui one as I love the flax and lilies and koru swirls.

I have no idea what I was thinking when I chose yellow - I have practically no yellow things and I don't especially love yellow. Oops.

This is essential to stop the bugs killing my roses - or so MLB says as he is more knowledgable on roses than me.

My mandarin tree, on which technically the fruit is orange, but the tree looks yellow.

Home grown yellow pear tomatos. They were profilic and I will grow some more this year too.

Flynn's registration tag, which I hope will be a more collar matching colour. Blue would be nice.

One of the bar stools in my kitchen. The whole kitchen and hall used to be yellow, but I painted over it in a more neutral, non eye-popping colour.

And finally, one of my NZ themed pictures. Another glicee. I like the toi toi most.

I have had such a great weekend - thank you to everyone involved :-)
