Mark had commented that his birthday was about the same time and no one thought to give him a cake. So, Barbara and Jean-Francois turned a cake out of wood, using Jean-Francois' eccentric faceplate. Barbara finished it off with acrylic paste "frosting" and Mark was delighted to receive a cake for his belated birthday.

Well, he thought he was receiving a chocolate cake. . . "Now, what do I do with this?????"

It does look good enough to eat. . .

"Someone left the cake out in the rain . . . "

John Belland has a beautiful half grand piano in his living room and he delighted our ears with a couple of movements from sonatas and some big band era tunes.

Why is it that most parties tend to be concentrated in the kitchen? Is it because that's where all the nice munchies and bottles of wine were hanging about?

Mark and Steve sat on a bench to allegedly talk about cameras, but I suspect they were talking about other things as well (. . . "she just does what she wants and goes where she wants to go." Poor Steve!).

All good parties must eventually come to an end, and we ended the evening back in the kitchen to wash dishes.
