US IN KARRATHA: BIRTHDAY PARTIES

Yesterday was Maria, Jackie and Kates birthday, so of course a celebration was had. I had somehow been commissioned to make the cake, as Sean was bragging about my birthday cakes, I protested and said I only make kiddy cakes, but a kiddy cake was what they wanted.

I ended up making a flower but instead of making it colourful I just iced it with chocolate icing, to make it a little more grown up. (I should learn to make more sophisticated cakes someday)
THE CAKE

So we went round to Brent and Maria's, and had a very nice evening. Kate unfortunately couldn't make it as she was sick with the flu, so we sang happy birthday to her over the phone and Jackie took a piece of her cake round to her.

It was just a quiet gathering with just a few of us but was still a good one. Tayden played darts with the men (I think he thinks he one of the boys).

Funniest thing happened, Janet was asking if I could cut her hair some day Sean pipes up and said he'll do it (as he always does whenever someone asks for a haircut). Questions were asked and stories spun and now everyone thinks Sean and I met while working together in a salon and I was his apprentice and he was this award winning super hairdresser. The funniest thing was instead of the girls asking me what they should do with their hair, they were asking Sean. He pulled it off and now everyone believes it. Not sure how long we'll keep them in the dark about it as its pretty funny.
