Andrew's Belated Birthday

Andrew arrived home from Indore yesterday after being away for 18 days. He spent his birthday alone up there so we thought it would be a good idea to hit out favourite restaurant and celebrate his belated birthday. We were joined by Noelene and Graeme and our new Chennai friends Shawn, Sheralyn, Macartney and Leroy.

And of coarse it wouldn't be a Indian Birthday party without a cake, most restaurants supply a cake free of charge when you tell them it's one of your party's birthdays.

Check out the writing on the cake, it nearly came out saying Mr Andrew, but I said that wasn't necessary. Instead it said, "To Sweetheart", at least the spelling was correct, as Shawn pointed out it could have come out saying, "To Sweat heart" (wink)

Most cakes usually end up being smeared into the guests faces which is a custom here. Well I don't know if it is a custom or just a typically Indian "Fun' thing to do.

The kids enjoyed helping to blow out the candle and Mac did his usual thing to do at this restaurant and fell asleep. We think he has only stayed awake once when we have gone to the Raintree. The staff all know his sleeping habits and usually supply us with a pillow and blanket. The hotel guards on the door give us the "Oh, he is asleep again" look as we head out the door and get in the car. Which I am sure they are glad about as Mac loves the revolving door and they probably cringe when they see him coming.
