One of my work colleagues, Lezanne, celebrated one of her ‘Big’ birthdays today. The girls who work in her office decorated it beautifully, for the occasion

Thanks to Sue, for baking these amazing cupcakes. They looked delicious and they tasted delicious. 😋

Today brought back fond memories of me working in the offices at the Thorpewood  Police Station and when the girls that I worked with, decorated my office for one of my special events. It was so sweet of them, but also very funny. In fact, all of the people I worked with back then, were fun. We often socialised together on non-work days.

Lol I can remember the streamers falling from the ceiling and I had my typewriter sabotaged with lots of decorative bits and bobs all over it. Haha, and the big poster of a man with nice abs, and a huge cotton wool ball stuck to his belly button, as belly button fluff. I could not stop laughing for the rest of the afternoon.

I loved those days. We often went out for birthday treats in the afternoon, whenever it was someone’s birthday.

Of course, I would often be the one taking the photographs. I have no idea where some of them are. However, I can remember setting my timer on my camera and rushing back to get in on the photo.

On one occasion, I thought I’d forgotten to press the shutter button on the camera, and I rushed back, into position, only for all of us to be laughing hysterically waiting for the camera to click! There was a slight delayed reaction, but I managed to capture the most wonderful photograph of all of us laughing.

Those were such happy days. I wish we could all step back in time.😀
