So we arrive at night and what do we see – pitch black. Occasional twinkly lights i the distance that we were thinking were some far off land. Oh no! Wake up on birthday morning and hey presto here she is. This is the bedroom view. Holy shit how nice is that??? DOUBLE WOW!!! Good choice Ruther’s.

Seriously – here is our neighbours. “HI CAN I GET A CUP OF SUGAR PLEASE?”

Really not sure if Jude is fitting in to this life-style of colonial, jungle living. I truly am note certain!!! Answers on a postcard!!!

Not just him – hmmmm – everyone else how we feeling? I asked that question and they all pushed the ‘butler button’ to ask someone else…. Yeah thy have slipped in to decadence…

And then it turns in to something I am not quite sure about – Pat Cash 80’s hair, BS buttons and “goggles”??? It’s all happening now – whatever next you may ask?

OK OK this is next. The VERY cool 50th birthday gift. A STUNNING photo album of the life of Ruthers and his mate/family experiences – Stacy AMAZING thing you – well done!!!

Jackanory, Jackanory… Only someone Steve’s age will appreciate that. Children, let me begin…

You know for once I really hav no idea what to say… Truly. Apart from; “Don’t let your son nowhere me…”

Just the most amazing decoration work from the girls/ladies/random; Stacy, Mary, Freja, Amy, Sophia and Ollie. Looks awesome!!!

See what I mean. Anyone would think we liked this guy, I mean seriously…

It’s just everywhere. More balloons than a long weekend in Amsterdam!!!

OK two weekends in Amsterdam. Just a thought like!!!

Even the wee dining area looks spectacular – amazing work gang. And he was oblivious sitting in his room, in fact banned/sent to his room. Ruthers be proud of the gang, what a great job!!!

Not really sure what to say apart from; “Stars in their eyes!”

Thank you for coming home; Sorry that the chairs are all worn; I left them here I could have sworn; These are my salad days; Slowly being eaten away; Just another play for today; Oh, but I’m proud of you, but I’m proud of you; Nothing left to make me feel small; Luck has left me standing so tall….

OK Amy is now in the ‘chair’ for the photo taking and…….

It sure is catching…
