Birthday Treats

It was my birthday yesterday & I had a lovely, lovely day. I had to go to work (boo) & didn't get any cards in the post because of the wretched postal strike but this didn't stop me from having lots of fun & feeling thoroughly spoilt.


Paul got me this ukulele. I'm so excited about learning how to play it!


I love the dolphin-shaped bridge.


In the evening we went to Saf, a vegan & raw food restaurant in Shoreditch. Here's our starter: a taster plate of beetroot ravioli, vegetable maki, cashew cheese & flax-seed crackers - all raw.


Here's Paul's main course: a raw mushroom lasagne. I pinched a bit. It was very tasty.


And my main course: squash & rosemary cannelloni. Delicious! Really enjoyed our trip to Saf. It's not cheap but it's lovely for special occasions & we were pleasantly suprised by the raw stuff we tried. They also have an excellent cocktail list. The importance of this cannot be overstated ; )
