Birthday weekend

It was my birthday weekend last weekend. It involved cake (on the Monday after with a uni friend, who was also celebrating a big birthday a year above me!)...

 a fruit mince pie at Stitch-n-bitch in Parnell

 with some wool purchased by the husband for birthday...

 knitting with family at same place...

 Then off to the fabric store for some linen and liberty fabric

 a night in a suite

 pre-dinner drinks (at Sky City - this kinda makes me sad as the young British tourist, who shares a birthday with me, who went missing on the same Saturday night and whose body was found yesterday, was in exactly the same place at the same time as we were!)

 an incredible dinner at Depot...

 Christmas windows at Smith and Caughey...

 the city... it kinda looks like Christmas in NZ's city, but i still think it's pretty sparse...

 A delicious breakfast at Ortolana the next morning...

 Yay for children's bookshops! A wee gem in the city!

 And flipping hot at only 11am!!! And home on the train to more cake - a lovely weekend! Well loved and spoilt!
