Last week we celebrated George's Birthday at the Dolphin's Leagues Club in Redcliffe. It was my turn to dress Birthday Bear and I am running out of ideas. We have been using Bear as a birthday gift in our little group of friends for over ten years now. The idea started when we decided giving useless presents to each other was a silly idea so we started the Birthday Bear tradition. Where we pass a bear around our group for each birthday but it has to be dressed differently each time to reflect something about the recipient. Our birthday group started when we retired from working at Kuraby State School and we wanted to stay in touch so we decided to celebrate our, and our spouses', birthdays together.
Last time we were together, George was showing us pics of the orchid he had grown which had two different coloured flowers. So I dressed bear as an orchid grower to help George in the green house.
So Bear was dressed in a 'Yard Master' apron with a trowel in pocket and a shady garden hat. He had a beautiful orchid and a book of hints for George.

Unfortunately, Mary was sick this day and couldn't join us.
As usual, Bill ordered bangers and mash.
I had a eye fillet steak. It was cooked to perfection. We also had a choice of salads and vegetables from the Salad Bar. Typical club food but it was okay.
