| by Bel | 

Bel: I'm looking forward to us all going out for dinner for my birthday. Have you got that Thursday night in your diary?

Bel's dad: Yes of course, next week.

Bel: Dad, no - not next week, in a fortnight!

Bel's dad: A fortnight?

Bel: Yes, on the 28th! Sheesh.

Bel's dad: Next week.

Bel: What?

Bel's dad: Tomorrow week in fact.

Bel: Tomorrow week??

Bel's dad: Yes, tomorrow is Thursday, all day until midnight, which means one week from then.

Bel: NEXT WEEK?!

Bel's dad: Yes.

Bel: My birthday is next week!!

Bel's dad: Yes. You'll be 30.

Bel: I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


30 to 30: Beginning of the end.

Got my first birthday card in the mail this weekend.



Bluejay!! Outta the way!!


Technically the envelope was marked "FOR 29th JUNE" but I opened it right away anyway. Lou understands this of my nature and when she send me my lovely giftie early, I was given instruction to of course tear it open immediately.

And now I have this yummy visual reminder of all the rosebuds I'm going to drink at my birthday party!

30 to 30: My friend Lou in London

| by Bel | 

#94 on my epic To Do list was Visit Lou. I ticked this off at the end of last year, whilst also completing #1 Go On Our Honeymoon. That trip also crossed off #89 Spend New Year's Eve In An Exotic Location and #101 Visit Family In Sydney (Ranking in no way indicates importance, FYI!)

Here are some photos of us on our wonderful walking tour of inner city London, past the iconic sights on the Thames riverbank.



This is that bridge that gets pwned at the start of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!!
And yes, our hair matches our outfits. 



When I saw this, I was like "Mark! You can barely even see the Globe in this photo!" and he was like "Um, yeah, I didn't actually know what you were talking about when you were like 'OMG! The Globe! Take my photo!!' so yeah."

The Shard!!!! (You have to say it like that - The Shard!!!)



Me using Lou's London A-Z to get around without supervision!
