I arrived safely in Brisbane on Good Friday and I found it very quiet and orderly:).  I cracked a few Easter Eggs and had steak for dinner.  On Sunday Niels and I had our joint 40th birthday party.  Noting however that I am still in my 30s!

It was a great afternoon at the Shady Palms at Stones Corner.  We had between 40-50 people there and the food and drink flowed easily.  I had wanted to have a circus at the party,however, sensible Niels persuaded me against this so I decided to have a Magician.

It was a massive hit for everyone, there were red foam balls that multiplied, cards that were chosen and even a flying table.  I was even the helpful and beautiful assistant.  However there are no photos to prove this and I think this is part of the magic.

Now for me the highlight of the afternoon was the cake

I had such a great time catching up with all my friends and family so thank you for sharing this day with Niels and I.
