It was C’s birthday last Friday, and she bought a selection of sweets from Crown Caffii (formerly Le Croissant on the Cove, Shop 24 108 Royal St East Perth) to share for afternoon tea. There was a cannoli, a chocolate eclair, a chocolate sponge slice, a florentine and a chocolate hedgehog slice (under the florentine). […]

I didn’t bring lunch on Tuesday because we were going out to celebrate JC’s birthday. But the feasting began before lunch, with a delicious morning tea JC brought in for everyone.

We didn’t have a birthday cake, but after the dinner dishes had been cleared, Juji brought out a tiramisu she’d made (one of Mark’s favourite desserts) – and we all sang happy birthday.
