Spinning was with S today. Cake was with me. I rose nice and early, switched the oven on, and pondered what to make. Conversation at last week’s spinning group had pointed up the fact that I never make Victoria Sandwich cakes. Mr L does love them, but I am not very fond of them – and I tend to make what I fancy eating. It seemed like an opportunity to please him, and to find out whether I still had the touch.

NaBloPoMo 3: Now we need to organise a red hat
I got my first pair of Crocs recently – by default, they were for Mr L but were too small for him.

Nablopomo Day 1: Trying not to fail

Catching up (soon)
The blog has been suffering lately. It’s not that I am not willing, just that more important things have been taking up my time. I’m going to make a real effort to catch up soon, and to keep updating. There are a few FOs to document, some forward plans to think about out loud, some …
