If you haven’t figured out by now, yesterday was my birthday and the photos leading into this post are some of the cocktails I consumed in the process of celebrating it.

For once the night lived up to expectations. It’s been a beautiful patch of weather in Melbourne lately, and yesterday was no different. We rocked up to the bar in Highett at 6 and secured the prime window position, eight of us in total. As the night went on we each drank a bunch of cocktails (I probably had an even half dozen, plus about 4 lagers), tucked into some excellent Vietnamese fare, then a couple of large pizzas from across the road. There was even a late, but very passionate call for post-midnight kebabs.

It was a brilliant night. Like I said to the others, I’d be happy celebrating my birthday like that every year.
