I am now 30 years old. AND DAMN IT FEELS GOOD!
Here are all my presents. Well not all of them! Lovely Laura gave me some Royal Doulton champagne glasses, which are to be featured another time!
Luke bought me this paella pan and accoutrements, we have eaten paella twice since. Who would have thought it was so quick and easy!
A favourite adult book, and two amazing kids books.
“Bernard, Bernard! I’m a prostitute robot from the future!”
I was very spoilt again, with this gift of my second Le Creuset! This cast iron pan will get plenty of work in years to come. And it’s orange!
After opening all my presents (thanks Mum and Dad for the knife, and my lovely in-laws for my spoils), and having my first solo bedroom dance as a 30 year old to Azealia Banks (language warning!), the squishy above took me out for breakfast to the North Carlton Canteen. Yummo.
I was lucky enough to share my day with my friend Lisa’s wedding day! So Lukey and I spruced ourselves up to get down to Lisa and Aaron’s wedding in the Carlton Gardens. The sun came out just in time for the ceremony, and all was glorious, as all weddings should be.
I kept myself relatively nice until my job as MC was finished, then I joined the others in some ridiculous dancing, champagne glass smashing (accident!) and general tomfoolery. Fun.
Hawt bride.
I was also super spoilt with our traditional birthday dinner later on in the week – Luke took me to La Luna!
It was a delicious, (ethical) meat filled, winey and yummy night, starting with an amazing charcuterie plate, then garlic prawns, sausages, filet mignon wrapped in bacon, roasted pork and ice-cream to finish.
Not to mention a wine or two with each course. Dirty 30s indeed!
Needless to say, a most fabulous time was had. Thanks to everyone for the fabulous send off up to the third floor!
