Chocolate cake

It was workmate C’s birthday. At one point during the morning, a friend of his turned up at his desk and sang Happy Birthday – she stood there and sang the whole song like you do at someone’s party when they’re standing in front of the cake with candles. She then gave him a Miss […]
