As I was in Sydney for my birthday, celebrating with my family, my friends in Brisbane waited until I returned to have our traditional Birthday Bear get together.
Thank you so much Ann and George for dressing Bear and thanks to Helen and Mary for coming to share my birthday lunch. Paul was sadly missed again as he was home in bed sick with the flu as well as having chemo therapy. Hope you improve soon, Paul.
Our Birthday Bear group had lunch at the 'Baan Thai' Restaurant in Springwood. Birthday Bear was there to greet me. As you can see Bear is an avid photographer this time and she has a model of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, to celebrate my climb up the bridge last week. Just look what is written on Bear's hat. Bear had a lovely card for me too. It read,
"This Birthday Bear has been known to wear many a hat,
And this birthday person, Diane, is the same, we all know that,
She is always willing to participate in many a daring venture,
Living up to her blog's title,-"Adventure Before Adventure."
Bear is home with me now, she is even dressed in blue my favourite colour. The Sydney Harbour Bridge has the nick name of "The Coat Hanger" so it is understandable that the model is made from coat hangers.
