Hello blogging world. It has been a while I know. Well life again has become very busy but, thanks to my birthday yesterday I got to chill for a bit and not worry about work or the wedding for a day. I rebelled and stayed awake until 4am reading on Sunday night/Monday morning. Scott snuck out to wish me happy birthday at around midnight. It was really sweet.
My actual birthday started later that day becasue I was up like a rebel until almost sunrise. At around about 11ish we went hunting together for fabric so I can make the centre pieces for the bridal table. I am sewing 2 green sea turtles to match our reception location. After that we headed into the city for lunch and a pot of tea. I LOVE Absloute Tea. It is a beautiful place. They serve you the most beautiful tea in lovely Dalton Tea Cups. The off dis scrumptious and then you can take sample packs of a wide variety of tea home to try. It is so hard to choose what to drink. If you are in Townsville and a tea lover you MUST spend some time there.
Once we had recovered from many cups of tea and a lovely lunch Scott and I headed down to Reef HQ to wander and watch the fish. A few rainforest animals were there as well for the school holiday program. I got see some old childhood friends including sugar gliders. They are so beautiful, wish we could keep one as a pet. I have a few video snippets which I will upload separately in an ocean post. Reef HQ is running a program to help injured turtles.
I still hadn't quenched my beach craving after Reef HQ so Scott took me to Rowes Bay and we wandered past the mangroves and chatted. We were accompanied by 2 Jack Russell's who randomly joined us. They were quite happy little fellows, jumping, running, spinning, chasing tails and hiding in the magroves. Jack Russels always just seem so happy. Sheer cuteness would make peoples heads explode.
Scott then gave me my birthday present which was a 1 hour hot rocks massage from Tropical North Queensland Day Spa. Talk about bliss, I felt liked I blinked and it was over. It was a wonderful, wonderful experience. I have let him know that anytime he wants to give me something please consider this. Just wow, I want one every week! I ended up selecting an oil called 'Indulge' it smelt of vanilla, coconut and lime. Very much suited to the tropics I think.
What a brilliant day overall and thank you Scott for making it possible!!!
