My dear friend Pat gives me a beautiful diary every year. I keep it next to my computer to use each day.

Gifts from my blogging friends.
Lovely hand made wall hanging and Mug Rug all the way from Ellyn in Texas.

Beautiful FQ’s from Deb in NZ from our Birthday swap.

After a cuppa it was off to swimming with the ladies.

Afterwards we all went for brekkie at my favourite spot in town.

Oh yes pancakes and fresh fruit with ice cream and syrup drizzled over it. Yummmmmmm!!!!!!   

I was so spoilt. Look at the gifts I was given.

My friend Sue gave me this puzzle. 1000 pieces and it is only 30cm X 42cm. I think she wants to drive me crazy trying to put it together but if I never make it the tin is very nice.

See the size of the piece lying on the ruler!!!


This afternoon Louise come to visit and brought along some cupcakes with candles. As it she had had her birthday on Thursday we sang “Happy Birthday” to each other. Then had a cuppa and cake.

Thank you to all my family and friends for the lovely gifts ,cards phone calls and e-mails. I had a great day.
