We celebrated Helen's birthday at the Lighthouse Restaurant in Cleveland. Birthday Bear was there sitting in a dog park doing some knitting while watching Dejar, Helen's chocolate Labrador. Bear was well prepared with doggie treats and balls to throw. If you haven't read about our Birthday Bear tradition before click here.

Mary dressed Birthday Bear this time. It is getting harder each time to think up new outfits for Bear.
It was also Helen's wedding anniversary this day and it was sad for her and us not to have Paul with us any longer. Chris and Bob our travelling friends are in Brisbane but they couldn't make it as they were both sick. However, we all had a good time having a seafood lunch by the bay. The weather wasn't the best but the drop down plastic walls gave us some protection against the cool breeze.
