As always, July has been a busy month. We first celebrated our anniversary before Thomas' birthday on the 18th. This year was special in that the Government decided that we would have to go back into isolation mode after the number of new COVID-19 cases flared up in Melbourne. There were just too many people who flaunted all recommendations and rules and in doing so caused another outbreak.
Well, we can deal with this and just celebrated at home.
Anniversary
Thomas organised some flowers and cooked a wonderful Surf&Turf with lobster and steak. It was great even though the flowers did not last as long as expected. Christy completely spoiled Thomas with a number of gifts, including a perfect office light. Did I mention that Chrsty made her pumpkin cheese cake? That is always fantastic and I am having one of the last slices while writing this article.
Birthday
This year, Thomas' birthday fell on a Saturday. Once more he got spoiled by his family with gifts (great tennies), balloons and an ice cream cake. Christy also cooked dinner; she made her Asian chicken & rice. This was just another highlight of my day.
Given we were under strict lock down, I was very excited about the large number of online wishes and congratulatory notes. It was heart-warming to see all these messages come in as different parts of the world started their day.
Below just a few pictures from these days.
