a lotta a lotta

birthdays recently, but belle's on saturday wraps up the last for the year!
(well amongst us at least!)

caramel cafe (that's Hairloom & Caramel for liz) for dinner where most of us ordered the same.
smoked salmon spaghetti with lemon cream sauce, and honey lemonade for me. though the pasta was seriously neverending on my plate, it was pretty good, and i might say i made the right final drink choice. ((=

apparently without tengz around, the conversation flow is more streamlined.
from rick, to carebear tattoos, and back to rick again.
we also now know that of all of us, liz and jas are more inclined to remove inner wear in the middle of the day, while belle and fiona are willing to store and carry other people's inner wear around in their bags. liz is also more open to the idea of sharing her bag for such purposes, but jasmine is definitely not.
so if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to remove a garment, and have nowhere to keep it, you know not to look to jasmine for help.

after a bunch of cup-birthday-cakes, we followed the timbre-for-drinks plan.
which incidentally, was the plan for belle's birthday 2008 as well!
yet again, liz's magical car can fit 7 people (without use of the boot) but since we couldnt make reservations, the queue took forever.
so to dubliners we headed instead.
they dont have service charge there, but still, that's no excuse for terrible-est of the terrible-est service. HAI!
in any case, only one thing was on jasmine's mind. she wants to live in winsland house. or regency house. or well, basically any other house than the one she currently lives in.
no scared face from fiona this time round, but plenty to spare from liz!
apparently rocking back on your chair legs frightens her, since her reputation of falling in her youth.

check out the best birthday card ever, very obviously designed by liz, which kinda makes no sense: what is "we heart you a lot of a lot of"??? hahaha


Happy Birthday, just for youuu, Belle Belle! <3
