November saw Brian and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. What shall we do we discussed this with friends and we thought lets go to our favourite Thai restaurant in Maroochydore the "Som Tam" we just love the food and atmosphere, we agreed upon a time and as we are very good at time keeping duely arrived to find our friends there - however there was a twist, we somehow had beaten a couple of people who we did not know were coming and I wondered why we had a large table all set out until I saw my workmates there to help us celebrate - when I left work on Friday they all said have a wonderful meal tomorrow night and see you next week. They had all known for a few weeks about the meal out and had managed to keep it a secret which was wonderful. Helen and David our close friends had arranged it all even down to the wonderful lime cheesecake for dessert. We had a wonderful night with friends good food, lovely gifts which were such a surprise and beautiful cards. Our wedding anniversary also was a joined affair as it was Brian's birthday also.
