Love today's art

Have been informed that friends have Covid. Just the news we didn't want when packing the car . Tested. Negative, but only four days and should really be five. Will test again tomorrow.

20.12 FBG started out at 6.0 surprise as few carbs yesterday, but did have small piece of cheese in the evening. Could that be the culprit? Hour later down to 5.4 Kiki's cat sitter came yesterday to collect keys and for last minute instructions. Showed her where the courgettes for Kiki are...

We all do and say things we regret when we are not our best selves. As mrsL has forgotten about it already, try to forgive yourself as well. In future when you notice that you are feeling like that find a way to let some of it out before you explode. Being constantly reminded of one's failings...

Linnet? Tried to post link but no go. Sorry.

No family connection- shame that could use a trip to NZ. Recipe found in a cookery book by Mary Berry. Was a great favourite with my children when they were young. My mother used to bake them as well, but having a deep aversion to coconut substituted raisins, which had a tendency to over caramelise.

19.12 FBG 5.4. Big surprise because I baked last night another ginger cake plus a batch of Anzac biscuits. and indulged in some ( quite a lot) of the biscuit mixture.

Love the subtle colours

what wonderful news! I am so pleased for you and yes that optician deserves a slap at least. Surely if the equipment wasnt working properly the results should be null and void. She caused you an awful lot of unnecessary stress with her misdiagnosis.

Sounds delicious

Cement mixer! He wore one out last year and immediately replaced it. He gave a eulogy for his best hammer, lost while repairing the friends roof. How many years he used it, how expensive it was all those decades ago. Guesses as to price of replacing with similar quality. How a friend tried to...

18.12 FBG originally 5.5 but after an hour of pottering and having forgotten to make coffee down to 5.1. Yesterday evening MrSlim informed me He has got me presents, but they are staying here in France. It's ridiculous to cart them about. Ok thanks, but eek haven't got him much. Like most men...

thank you @Krystyna23040 one is probably just about acceptable, if I have the ingredients will probably make another.

It needs a long poofy underskirt, am going to ask my sister if she has one I can borrow

Probably not possible to make the cakes again, am running out of ingredients, treacle is not easy to find here. I have made Ginger and pear trifle in the past using purchased ginger cake. But for now I might just leave the darkest one here, a treat for when we get home. @Annb With your left...

16.12 FBG 5.1 Today very cold 2°c. Bought a couple more presents online, delivery promised for tomorrow. This evening was baking to take with us as gifts, however forgot to set timer and cakes are now slightly overcooked. Little bit burnt in fact. Not sure they will be acceptable.I really...

Have found a red, full length skirt. Bought a couple of years ago and never worn. Still in packet. Really needs an underskirt. When it came I was disappointed that the fabric felt flimsy and the pockets were miniscule. Still it looks festive, but after two years in the packet badly in need of...

Am actually planning to read Pride and Prejudice again.

14.12 FBG 5.4 MrSlim has got up early and gone to get his hair cut, later he is out for lunch with a a group of men. For weeks I have been a slow starter and will need to do better. Can't be still in pyjamas mid morning when visiting. Will be expected to engage. Socialise. Today trying to...

Much sympathy for you and MrK on the loss if your little friend. He had his best life with you.
