Two Birthday Parties in a Day

M. is having his birthday party at Cabarita. WHQ prepared some salads, and we bought a Chocolate Gateau from Michel's on our way there. Weather's very good, considering it was raining buckets the past few days. Started raining again in the afternoon. By then everyone had their fill, so we reconvened at his house. By 5:30pm, we went to Ashfield for M.'s 40th birthday party at the Crocodile Farm Hotel. Haven't been to Ashfield for a while. Surprised to see the Crocodile Farm Hotel looking better. And there's a new Chinese restaurant beside it. As usual, we got there early, so as usual we helped out with the balloons. Gotta work for you meal, you know.
