Mark's 62nd Birthday
The family went out for dinner on Thursday 20 July to Wei Kee, a small family owned run Chinese restaurant to celebrate Mark's birthday. He'd been wanting to go to this restaurant but every time he rang to book they would have nothing available. So this time, we got him to ring the day before and he finally got a reservation at 6.30pm.
Lily, Janet, Megan, Justin, Sophia, Darren and Kaylene left home in the blue bus and got to the restaurant just at 6.30pm. Mark arrived later with his mum and Nathan arrived just in time for the food to be served. It took them over an hour to decide what to order.
The dishes came out one at a time. Guess they only have a very small kitchen and just 1 cook. But the plates of food were plentiful, but just a bit saltier than we'd like. Must be because we don't use as much salt in our home cooking.
All up, the total was like $180, but they paid $195, I contributed $50 to the meal. Darren also put in some money.
So we had:
Scallops with snow peas
Gai lan
Steamed whole barramundi with ginger and shallots
Golden prawns (fried prawns coated in salted egg)
Garlic pork - garlic pork fillets with wood ear, mushroom, snow peas, bok choy
Steamed egg white with seafood combination
Salt and pepper calimari
Fried king prawns in peking style sauce (more like sweet and sour)
Although I had prepared a lemon strawberry cheesecake, by the time we got home, everyone went their own way - to bed, so no cake was cut.

Dinner @ Royal Treasure Seafood Chinese Restaurant
Janet picked Fiona up on Saturday 15 July, and they had dinner at the Seeto's.
On Sunday 16 July, Mark reserved a table at the Royal Treasure Seafood Chinese Restaurant. Since Fiona was out, and his birthday was coming up, we thought a night out would be great. He had tried the Homebush Wei Kee restaurant but they had no tables available. Janet was primed for us to have dinner at Pine Inn. But then Mark said he got a table at this newish restaurant in Burwood - behind the plaza.
So we went out and tried their food.
Ordered the:
Crab with ginger and shallot
Deep fried duck with mash taro $29.80
Deep fried pork ribs in Peking sauce $25.80
Seafood bean curd hot pot $26.80
Steamed egg white with combination seafood $25.80
Beef brisket with tangy special sauce hot pot $26.80
Beef ribs with BBQ sauce?? had snow peas $24.80
Stir fried vegetables with Chinese mushrooms in oyster sauce $19.80
Stir fried king prawns with snow peas in xo chilli sauce $33.80
They served us hot soup to begin and finished up with cookies and oranges
All up about $300

Frozen - a night out with friends
Wednesday 12 July
Last minute decision to go and see Disney's Frozen on Ice with Jacq, Mare, Juliette and Oliver, Lily and I.
Quick dinner before we got Darren to drop us off at QUDOS arena, Homebush, where we met up with the Cheong's and Mare. Gave Juliette a "glow" light wand, which we got in Orlando.
Our seats were kind of in the nose bleed section - quite empty up there, so we were told we could sit anywhere - should have moved down a level.

Security Cameras
Saturday 1 July 2017
So today I helped Justin install cables for the security cameras to be installed outside the house.
Started with the one out the front. Not an easy job. Justin had to find a route from the outside to the control room. Then we had to thread the network cable, from down light hole to down light hole.
So over the next weekends we have been slowly installing cameras.
There are now 3 cameras on the outside.
