Deirdre's 40th

Deirdre is one of my work colleagues and today she had her 40th birthday party. Here she is, just about to blow out the candles on her two birthday cakes - made by yours truly. There were 20 candles on each cake plus a few sparklers. The party was held where we work and the candles set off the smoke alarms (or rather one of them - so at least we know it works - but another one didn't go off, so that's a job for Monday).
