Birthday Weekend

As most of you know, this weekend was my birthday. As my birthday was on Friday and I was working, I decided to extend my birthday into a birth-weekend.

This weekend was three important things besides from being my birthday, firstly it was a long weekend, secondly it was Deloraine Craft Fair weekend, and thirdly the Agatha Christie play "And Then There Were None" was running in Devonport. As I have a fondness for going to the theatre, especially to watch Agatha Christie plays and I've been waiting for the Deloraine Craft Fair ever since last years, these were the two highlights of my weekend. I had a very enjoyable time both at the Craft Fair and at the play - especially as I didn't even guess who the killer was (in the play not at the Craft Fair).

On the Monday to round off my weekend, I somehow managed to convince my parent's to do something else I've been wanting to do for a long time - go to Seahorse World at Beauty Point. Yes I know, I'm spoiled absolutely rotten - I dragged my parents with me to a play, a craft fair, and by Monday they were still up for Seahorse World. It was fairly expensive to get into when you have 3 adults, but it was worth going to see. Here is the photo tour.





We also went to the Platypus House next door and met several gorgeous platypi and a couple of cute echidnas.

Check out the tongue on that



It is very difficult to get a good photo of these guys so I'm pretty proud of this one.

I also got some awesome presents and lovely birthday cakes - probably the best birthday I've had all year.

Happy Birthday. I love the pics. Dad and I did an animal photography course at the adelaide zoo and one of the first tasks we were set was to photograph the seahorses. I got some good ones but not as many as you. Did you get the parcel I sent?

Yes, I did. Sorry, I meant to txt you to say thanks, but apparently I am very slack and never got round to it.

I loved my birthday pressies, and I've put the Christmas one away for later. If you think you are seeing owls everywhere, you should see my bedroom now :)
