Birthday in Moree


Yesterday was my birthday - 67 - and I had a lovely day, thanks for the texts, emails and good wishes. The morning dawned overcast so we had a hot breakfast of bacon and eggs - a bit of a luxury for us, then off to the shops for a birthday present, I had asked for a new lamp, we have two but somehow they are not very bright, probably because they were el cheapo, and I have been getting frustrated trying to cook etc in the gloom. The new one is just great and I know I will enjoy using it every day.
There is a Chinese restaurant in town advertising it has won several awards for regional NSW so we decided to go there for dinner. It is quite a large establishment and to our surprise was very nearly full, everyone seemed to know everyone else and there was a lot of across table chats and waves.
The menu was a little disappointing, but then we have been spoilt with Adelaide’s fantastic Asian restaurants, and although we found the dishes a little bit bland the serves were fresh and plentiful and the staff very friendly. We had bought a bottle of Yellowglen earlier so came back to our rig and had a glass or two. A lovely end to a very good day.
