Dave's 66

Despite many and long protestations from Dave, he too, like many others have celebrated another year on this planet.  He was away at work for his actual birthday but as soon as he was home we gathered a few of his local mates for a get together occasion.

The birthday boy
Dave's shed was the ideal spot as he tended his keg to cook the pork and lamb.  The fireplace out in the yard was great to keep folks warm and the coals were used to cook the 'tatties' and sweet potatoes in alfoil.  A nice informal spot for the men to relax in.

The cake.  The lighted candles detracted from the cake decoration as the illumination out-dazzled the detail.  The cake depicted a miniature motorbike  in a country scene including road signs.

Gary and Judy - bro and sis

Alanna and Dave
Deb seemed to dodge the camera somehow.  I don't know where she got to!  As the night progressed the bonfire became the centre of attention and the dying embers saw us hit the sack around 2am.

Happy birthday Dave.
