[Leica] Me here yesterday 60th Birthday with one foot candle

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Belated Happy Birthday, Mark. The cake is indeed a suitable size for a post 
Yule diet. I hope you got to eat it all. I was 60 last Oct and barely got a 
few crumbs of my own cake, swept aside as I was by the ravenous horde that 
lives here. They said it was for my own good. I didn't get a D700 either.

Heather looks a babe. Good photo.

Douglas
