Stephen's Birthday

It was Stephen's birthday a couple of weeks ago, and to celebrate we hit the town with some workmates and friends. Since it was Australia Day, we had planned to go to the Walkabout (as a one-off, honestly) but by the time we arrived at 5 o'clock a drunken line stretched around the corner. Given that we weren't drunk, and had forgotten to dress entirely in the Australian flag, we chose the English pub next door.

After a couple of quiet ales we headed up to our restaurant of choice (Patara Thai, on Greek St) for fantastic food in a lovely setting. Thankfully, nobody sang 'Happy Birthday', and we only ran about half an hour overtime (keeping someone else waiting for their table) - we were having too much fun.

We finished the night back at the pub for a quiet nightcap or two, noting as we the Aussie queue was still around the corner - crazy Aussies... In fact, when we were out shopping for Stephen's birthday present the next day we say people still dressed in their Aussie gear!
