32: The New 21


It was my birthday last week and I've enjoyed the longest ever celebrations. On the actual day (the 5th) things got off to a great start when Ben gave me lots of smiles and came into our bed to give me a cuddle.






Then I had lunch at the best fish and chips joint in town (the Bar Beach Kiosk) with Jane, Nick, Will, Beth, Alfie, Kel and Elliott.

It was a super windy day so I'm very grateful to everyone for braving the elements. It was actually really beautiful at the beach. The water was clear and flat, and although it was chilly it was sunny and fresh.



Matt arrived on his trusty steed (the Apollo Cross Trainer) dressed in his suit, with flowers in hand. It was much fun. Beth even brought along the champers and strawberries.


On Friday night we had a celebration at our house. Mum made a cake and we ordered take-away from Top Thai. Top Thai is new to Stockton and it's very exciting to have them on board. I'm already addicted to their Mussaman Curry and NO HOME DELIVERY IS TOO SMALL! The boys tried to enlist a new recruit to their bald and the beautiful club (Travis Soulsby). Trav has all the essential ingredients - beautiful wife, nice teeth, good smile, baldy scone. Just needs a little bubba that looks just like him. Trav was very keen to join and tried to get into the club by hijacking India's dolly. However India retrieved her doll and Trav's hopes were dashed for now. Towards the end of the night Ben and Elliott had a competition to see who could cry the loudest. In the end Elliott won by a country mile - he's obviously got a brilliant career ahead of him in the Opera.
And the birthday celebrations were rounded out with morning tea at Team Watson HQ on Sunday. Jane and Nick had made the thickest yummiest chocolate cake. We were planning to play tennis after morning tea. But Team àBeckett was so worn out after all the partying we had to go home and sleep it off. Ben was a little gem and slept for three hours that afternoon so we all caught up on some much needed ZZZs.

Thanks everyone for the cards, choccies, cakes, pressies and fun times!!
