It is my birthday today and i am 32 now. I like being it. And here is a short overview how have i been spending the day.I woke up pretty early in the morning and got a lovely birthday hug from Marge. The house where we live, was empty by 8am - everybody rushed to work and Marge to her English lesson. So it was time to spend it on my own, to get greetings from my mum and friends in Estonia.
I made a short walk around and found lovely horses just some hundred meters from our place. I think i'll go to say Hello to them as often as i can starting from today. Horses, though not those close to our place, wear blankets here. Is it to protect them from sun.. i don't know... i think it is not for keeping them worm, it is really warm here anyway.
Later i made a nice breakfast for myself: omelet with mushrooms and ham, and some green salad. And then it was almost midday and was time to go to Auckland downtown. It takes pretty long time to go there: first to walk to Manurewa trail way station, which takes about 35-40 minutes and the same time to travel by train to downtown. But i have enough time and it's just a pleasure.
In downtown i visited the Immigration office, a lovely church and spent time in my favourite park Albert park, drinking really good chai latte and eating sushi. Beautiful day!
Later we came back from the downtown with Marge, bought some meat and wine for the evening. It was raining while we walked from supermarket back to home. It was warm summer rain, good for skin and we were so happy, walking there with huge bags :)
In the evening i celebrated my birthday with our house mates Julie, William, Marge, Anthony and Lisa. Some friends also came to us and we had lovely dinner with BBQ, salad and wine. Muffins made by Julie and ice cream made by Kiwis.. and a lovely frog (on the pic with me) form a French guy Anthony... and some lovely SMS's and talks over Skype with friends in Estonia. Perfect birthday! :) Pics of the day are here.
And here you can see some pics, what i've made on my walks around our place here and on beachday 08.02.2009.
horses are usually covered in blankets after exercise. for the same reason we try to keep ourselves from being exposed when sweaty :)
