Success is getting what you want; happiness is liking what you get

That’s a real bloke’s tool

Just how long does a birthday last?  A couple of days, it seems.   The actual birthday yesterday finished with a birthday meal last night to Breakers in Paraparaumu.  There seems to be a chain of of these casual family dining establishments throughout the country and this particular restaurant has only recently opened.  It was doing good business and we noticed that most of the tables had been reserved for reasonably sized groups.  The meal was tasty, in fact we had the steak special of two for the price of one!

Today we drove up to Bunnings in Palmerston North to get Robin his new Ryobi drill.  For those who want to know the specs:
Compact Drill Driver Kit, 4.0ah Lithium Battery & 1.5ah Lithium Battery, 2 speeds, 24 torque settings, LED light and on board accessory holder, 2 batteries, and comes with a carrier bag.  It all sounds rather technical to me, but it was just what he wanted.  So why not – he will be able to potter around to his heart’s content.

We bought a few things for the back garden, they will probably get dealt with later.  As for now, it’s just about time for a cuppa and a piece of that birthday cake.
