How quickly time flies
"Happy Birthday Daddy........" was the sweet chime of my daughters voice this morning (OK so it was 0730 and I still wanted to sleep some more but hey)We all got up and had breakfast anticipating the days events only to watch the skies grow darker and gloomier with the approaching rain.
After breakfast Mana and K set about putting the final touches on my Bday cake with fresh whipped cream,grated chocolate and the last of the strawberries from our garden (yes I'm still getting strawberries I guess no one told them its suppose to be winter)
How to make a cake....mix the cream,put it on the cake,grate up the chocolate......sprinkle on (do a taste test) add strawberries smile for the camera and......
......Ta Daaaaa
Mana gave me a Birthday card that she had made/drew herself and then my gift,a new Philips 7100 Series shaver very cool looking (and so quiet) my old one sounded like a swam of killer bees being chased by a lawn mower 
It rained off and on the rest of the day so we just hung out and lazed about watching DVD/Videos and playing......I was more than happy to rest as I was still abit tired from my 2 and a half hour surf yesterday (Arigatoo K glad you convinced me to go)

Then it was off for a Bday dinner at a Japanese Restaurant called "N
ARITA"
ARITA"It was a real mish mash of clutter inside (not dirty or messy just....full on) I could see how someone who had been to or lived in Japan would find something about it appealing as it had pretty much everything inside.
On one wall was a TV showing Sumo and another was a kids DVD the music was kinda rock (which K immediately took a liking too) and they were a huge collection of old and new figurines,statues,fans,sports memorabilia and from floor to ceiling and empty SAKE bottles lined the windows........so yeah cool in a messy sort of way.
I had the Kabayaki Unagi K had the the Narita dinner box and Mana chan had Udon as well as Edamame,Sashimi and Gyu Tataki with some sake (for me only) all in all it was a pretty good feed.
Oh and Sis Kia huritau ki a koe.....Arohanui (Happy Birthday to you too from your little brother)

Really enjoy reading your blog..u know for someone who writes for a living, i do tend to refrain from writing for leisure. but reading your blog...who knows.. my very own life story could be hitting the webstands soon!
Love the life you have down in NZ. Wish i could come over and hang out for a while but it'll have to wait till we settle our house and stuff.. yes we just bought a house and it's really a huge thing!!! Huge in the sense of $$$!!
In any case, give me some time to recover and i'll be back on a plane, to one of my fav countries in the world :)
