Birthday sort of day
Today is my partners birthday which means we have her Parents down for a couple of days, we just went out for Dinner to a place we have not been too before but someone (me) forgot to get any pictures.
At Lunchtime we made her a spread which included the below plus some Asparagus rolls and club sandwiches.

We also heated up some savories plus we had some regular potato chips. it was a nice lunch and kept us going until Dinner.

Around mid morning i went downtown to select a cake for the birthday girl, i got this white chocolate cake which looked rather cool, it tasted really nice and i may have had 2 pieces.

I got her a new Samsung Ultra 25 plus mobile which seems a really nice phone, i would expect it to be considering the price.
Even with all of the above i still managed a few walks which helped after that lunch, 18 kilometers so far i have walked including mowing the lawns.

Tonight i have 2 Basketball games to watch on TV and just relax.
Have a great day from me here in NZ.
all pics are mine

Everything looks so nice~!
The Spread, the club sand, and
whoa~ the cake looks so sparkily with blues, pinks, and purples. I bet your partner loved it.
Samsung Ultra 25 is a good gift indeed.
Happy birthday to your partner ~🥳
Hey thanks for that, the cake was beautiful and i want more LOL
Belated happy birthday to your beloved wife! Hope you spent quality time on this special day! Blessings to her and wish you celebrate many more years! Cakes looks yummy! thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️
Thank you
The cake was sensational
Samsung makes great phones, especially their flagship S-series. I once tried one of their budget models because it came free with my contract, and the difference was night and day!
Considering the currency, do you find them very expensive where you are? I feel like the prices are climbing every year; they aren't much cheaper than Apple these days.
Anyway, your partner is so lucky to have you. That feast you prepared for her looks absolutely beautiful. Wishing her a very Happy Birthday!
The Phone cost 1700 NZD which is the most i have ever paid for a phone, looks like a great phone though.
I think she had a great birthday
It's the kind of price that I will be expecting it to last me around 3-5 years, maybe I ask for too much because I know there are many out there that upgrade it with every new release.
When i was lookng at phones there were ones worth over 4K - WTF

Maybe if i won Lotto
It's crazy expensive, especially considering they seem to have some kind of timer for self-destruction. They don’t last nearly as long as the Nokias of the past. And yet, we have no choice but to change them so frequently.

It was a NICE birthday - nice lunch, nice cake, nice gift. I am sure she is very pleased.

Thank you i have had a great weekend so far.
Do you have much planned for the weekend?
My nephew and nieces came for a visit on Sunday. That was nice. And we all enjoyed a game of mahjong.
Have a great week ahead.
Sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday, so who won mahjong?
Behave yourself this week eh?
My nephews and nieces won at the mahjong game. 😊
Behave? Where is the fun in that? 😊
Birthday blessings to her...
