Otis' Day Out
 

Sunday was a very good day, turns out it was apparently my birthday. I'm not really one for a big fuss, so it was fairly low-key, but a great one!

Started out with a huge stack of pancakes that my lovely girlfriend made me for, complete with icecream and blueberries, All from the comfort of my bed!
....sorry guys...no pics here :chuckle:

I'm a lucky guy, here are the gifts she gave me:

Can't wait for Herbie Hancock!

After that, went with my parents to a great seafood place on the river. Man did I eat too much.

Thanks Peter :thumbsup:
Not an oyster fan either. It's the texture and the way of eating too. But those mussels were great with a creamy white wine sauce.

I'll box 'er up and send her to New Zealand!
Funny story actually, there was a teacher in my high school who did have one of them in a cupboard. :chuckle:

Thanks Alan, I am very lucky. I didn't show the big chocolate and strawberry cake she baked for me. :agree: :agree: :agree:
