UNCLE MICHAEL'S BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST
Coincidentally, the wedding day falls on my birthday. Of course, I choose to believe that it was with 'careful planning' that this was the case and I am truly honoured that the young couple invited everyone to a 'morning tea' on their special day to celebrate it.
Later in the evening, in Bob's 'Father of the Groom' speech, he opens by telling Paul how proud he is of him, and Kim how gorgeous she looks and then proceeds to thank all the guests for sharing this special day . . . . . . "Michael's birthday!"
JAN AND BOB'S "MORNING-AFTER" BREAKFAST
In true 'morning-after' style, Kim's parents, Bob and Jan, were up early on the day after the wedding to host breakfast down by the pool, and to cook the bacon and eggs for the 'weary-eyed', and for those of us who went to bed at a reasonable hour.

I love golden eggs that are so fresh that the yolk sits high on the white. |
A TROPICAL ISLAND
What is the idyll of a tropical island without palm trees? Here on Hamilton, the Palm trees have been brought in. But the rabble of butterflies of the one blue colour are captivating. So are the kookaburras that descend into the branches of the gum trees outside our bedrooms in the morning, laughing to wake us up. Flocks of native sulphur-crested cockatoos screech but add such life and colour to the bush. Regrettably, I was not fast enough with the camera to get a photo of the pod of whales surfacing from the sea in front of our apartments
