Robs Birthday Weekend

I think Robs favourite pressie was his packet of ridiculously over-priced Monster Munch from 'Cool Britannia', a speciality food store in Wellington which basically sells famililar stuff from the Uk and charges a fortune for it!!!!
































Monster Munch for breakfast......well it is my birthday!!!!













We had a 'Guitar Hero' party in the evening, not quite sure who bought the hat???? I made some wicked 'Moscow Mules' which went down rather well!!!!




















































































































Robs Chocolate Chilli Cake!!!! Well, thats what he wanted!


































































The Moscow Mules sure had a kick!!!!!















We went for Brekkie the next morning













and then to the cinema to watch 'Coraline 3D', which has to be the best animated film we have seen in ages. 3D glasses have come a long way!














Robs new Birthday Coat.

Our Weekend

All Dressed up and ready to go out for Laura, one of the girls from work, Birthday Bash at The Flying Burrito Brothers Restaurant. Rob had the boys around for 'Rock Band' practice. They were still playing when I got home at Midnight!!!!




























Rob has put some strips on the 'Stairs of Death', hopefully they wont be quite so slippery now!!!

















We discovered a walk at the end of our road which goes up over the hill to Island Bay.





































View of Houghton Bay from the lookout at the top.



















On the way home we called in at the Haewai Honey Mead Distillery which is in the back garden of a house at the end of our road. We only called in for a tasting but ended up coming home with a bottle!!!!!http://www.haewai.co.nz/
