100 Happy Days 29-35 and More

So at the beginning of this week I though that my next seven of the 100 Days Happy would be all about the new cross stitch I was starting, buuuut  I had amazing news on Friday. My application for permanent residency has been approved. So that shifted the whole week completely! Not that the new cross stitch isn't going well haha. But here they are, seven more days.

1. Mailing Birthday cards to Canada

2. New Cross stitch pattern, its gonna be huge!

3. Walking to get more thread, and the castle was being beautiful

4. Making Leak and Potato soup, YUM!

5. Celebratory Thai!

6. Lemsip for the cold

7. Sherlock and the Great Mouse Detective comparisons for the win!

To go into Friday a bit more, Dixon and I went for a meal, and to see the paper lantern terracotta warriors, that were on display too. I popped to see them in the daylight and at night, and it was more impressive to see at night but way harder to capture. But still really cool. And afterward we went to Chang Thai, for, you guessed it, Thai food! The food was so nice as the service was brilliant. I got a type of curry I had never had before, and Dixon had steak, and was feeling manly, and got it spicy, it was really spicy. But everything was so good even if it numbed Dixon's lip! So it was a brilliant day all around.

So this weeks Friday will be a Happy Day that will be hard to top!

We also had Champagne and Gingerbread with Gail and Gordon on Saturday, so that would have probably qualified for Saturdays happy, but I totally forgot to take a photo! I suck.

Birthday

I made it just in time to talk about 2013, its been a crazy couple weeks and I should have had about eight posts up here, but unfortunately work and loads of fun has kept me away. So I have a few things to cover but mainly today I wanted to talk about my birthday!

It actually kind of started the day before, Dixon had a gig with the Cyanide Pills, and it turned out to be an awesome night, they were brilliant. And at 12 people sang me happy birthday, it was excellent! Dixon had drank half the singers bottle of brandy though so he was pretty pished and we left pretty shortly after that. But Still an amazing night, Dixon got a record and a T Shirt and they gave me a bag and some badges! So that was really cool of them.

Now the plan of action for the next day was that Hayley was taking me on a Ghost Bus Tour, that I was really excited about, it was an old style double decker bus with lamps and stuff on the tables. And Dixon was going to go out for a drink with Shaun and maybe meet us after. But on the way he showed me a reservation for David Bann, I was so surprised and excited, I have wanted to go their since being a vegetarian. And it did not disappoint. Everything I had was brilliant from the cocktails to the dinner to the atmosphere, it was perfect and I could not stop smiling. Hayley evev went a step further and brought cupcakes down to the restaurant and they lit them with a 25 on them and brought them over. It was a brilliant night.

So if that wasn't enough I also was spoiled with presents, Dixon got me an amazing new set of Creepers, and a build it yourself SLR Camera, which as you can see below, I didn't wait one second to open it and start building! Hayley got me some of my favorites, pajamas and socks, the best of gifts as well as the Jelly Bellys and Candle which smells amazing. Gail and Gordon we awesome and got me a new hairdryer and straighteners because both of my old ones were old and dying and perhaps a bit dangerous!

Plus I got to have amazing phone calls from Camille Caryn Mom and Marsha, and messages from James Tina and Payton.

and Lea, giving me the Stink Eye, for my birthday.

So best Birthday yet all around. Bring on 2014.
