Steven's Birthday

St Patrick's Day is also Steven's birthday so today we went out for a nice brunch at Manly with Carl and Martinette. We went to a cafe called White Water and it seemed that Eggs Benedict was the order of the day as Steven, Jo and Carl all had the same. I went slightly different and had Pear and Walnut bread with stewed rhubarb, banana and honey - very yummy indeed! After breakfast we took Steven shopping to get him a birthday present - Jo and I bought him a nice Quiksilver T-shirt and some thongs (aussie terminology for 'Flip Flops' before anyone raises their eyebrows!). Steven treated himself to a few more T-shirts, a pair of shorts and a pair of long combat style pants (Aussie for 'Trousers' before anyone raises their eyebrows - again!).

We went got home in the afternoon we had a modelling session to see Steven in his new outfits, before Tanya and Nia arrived for the night.

Pose, Monkey Boy!

We had struggled to find somewhere to go for dinner but settled on 'Fish at the Rocks' and it was a great choice. We arrived in the rocks and finally managed to find somewhere to park. Be in mind, it was St Patrick's Day and the Rocks is the most popular place for the Irish to get drunk in the whole of Sydney!

Ooooh, you Chocolate Tart!

Dinner was wonderful and the menu suitably seafood - I had prawn ravioli to start, Steven and Jo had the grilled scallops. For main I had a very nice baby barramundi filled with minced prawn red curry, Jo and Tanya had the Jewfish and Steven had the Kingfish. We all succombed to dessert and we weren't disappointed - the Chocolate Tart was fantastic!
