Well this year I turned 50. I guess it was easier to take as no one could make a big fuss over it because of being in Australia.
So to celebrate we did our usual, which was to go to the Skycity Buffet. If any of you are on Facebook know that every time we go there L gets here picture taken and put on Facebook. It makes it look like all we do is eat out. But in reality we rarely eat out here because it's so expensive here.
But at Skycity if you are 50 or over you are considered a senior. Well I'm not sure what the benefits are of being a senior but it says you get a booklet with all sorts of free stuff.
L and I have vowed to check it out next week. We found out that the buffet is $9.95 and you have to book well in advance.

Also this month it was our Anniversary, 7 years. It seems after 7 years of marriage your mind must go because we both forgot. In Canada I was lucky because my workmate Jeff was married on the same day as L and I was. So we always reminded each other. So really it's Jeff's fault. The only reason I remember is that my mum called ME to wish us a happy anniversary. Except the 18th in Canada at night is the 19th in Australia, in the morning. So my mum could have saved my skin but she was just 12 hours too late.
It's ok for next year I have entered the date in both L's and I hotmail calendar so we will get reminders a few days ahead of time and on the day. So no more excuses.
For that day we went to downtown Darwin and ate chinese take-a-way in a qwerky takeout area. It was outside and kinda romantic.
Life in Darwin is starting pickup as the tourist season is starting to kick in. So there are a lot more people downtown, which is good for the economy.
