Jane's birthday breakfast at Frenchy's

Jane, Nik, Xenia, Chris, Krissula and I met up at our favourite cafe for birthdays. Such a lovely day. I had mushroom tartine again. Delicious.

My 56th birthday

Birthday breakfast

On Saturday, I met up with Shushann, Xenia, Chris, Krissula and Jane at Frenchy's for a delicious breakfast to celebrate my birthday on Tuesday. I had the most amazing mushroom tartine. After breakfast, I walked to Balmoral Beach and then all the way to Manly Spit along the water.

Jane birthday lunch

We celebrated Janes birthday at a wonderful Greek restaurant in Manly. We all had octopus which was the restaurant's speciality. I felt a little guilty.  After watching "My Octopus Teacher" a few years ago, I promised myself I would never eat octopus again!

 

Frenchy's with Chris and his sister

Chris's sister, Marion, is out from New Zealand. We met her and her friend, Jasmine, for lunch at Frenchy's.  They are both so lovely. Afterwards, I walked to Balmoral where I caught a bus home.

Frenchies with friends

Lovely catching up with dear friends after I got back from Cape Town.

Xenia's birthday lunch at The Incinerator

A wonderful new restaurant to try out. 

Krissula's 77th birthday

Oh how I love this beautiful group of people. We went to Foy's restaurant above The Flying Bear which is more expensive than we are used to, but the food was delicious.

Frenchy's for lunch

 It's always a delight to meet up with this beautiful group of people. I had my usual dish: Goat's Cheese Quiche.
