Chinese

What a good Saturday - chilling out at home, taking the dog for a walk, playing a bit of footie with Jake (both real and virtual) and then a birthday tea.

John and Margaret came around, and we ordered a box-load of food from Chan's, starting, obviously with some duck pancakes, and then followed up with a fine selection of rice, chow mein, seaweed, prawn toast, Chinese chicken, prawn balls and more.

If that wasn't enough, we then had the ceremony of the blowing out of the candles, sensibly done in tens rounded up rather than one for each year, to avoid the need to call the fire brigade. The cake had been made by my lovely wife this afternoon and was yummy indeed.

Might have to have a rummage on-line now to contemplate spending some of my many birthday vouchers.
