Friday

 Today's happy is not a garden one, it's a phew, thank goodness one.  Taken yesterday and I know the edges are ragged but butter icing covers a multitude of ragged edges, not to mention making them look so much higher and substantial!  I'm just thankful they didn't flop.

I'll try and remember to take a photo once I've iced them.

Good morning, one and all.  It's a dull start to the day today and Beeb seems to think it's going to stay that way with some sunny intervals.  A bit like yesterday, in fact.  It's still warm though and looks to be continuing warm for some days to come.

As you can see above, I made my cakes and they both came out fine.  I've also mixed up the icing and it's ready to meet its cake although that won't be until after Slimming World.
I had to get some more icing sugar, annoyingly, and I met Faith outside Morrisons.  She said no need to bring the cakes early, just bring them when I show up so that's what I will do.  It makes the morning a lot simpler.

The freebie groove class was fin.  I like the new routines - she's taken out a couple of things I didn't really like (not that I said anything) and I felt I'd had a good workout by the end.

Later on, Lindsey sent a message round to all her groups that she's 'negotiated' a fun and fitness long weekend at Potters Five Lakes at the end of April/beginning of May.  Guess who is top of the 'I'm going' list.   So that's one holiday/short break sorted for next year.

Today is simple.  Slimming World, cake icing and a Macmillan get together.  It should be really pleasant and I'm very much looking forward to it.

Have a really good day, everyone, and take care.  xx

    1. Hope so - I forgot to take a picture of them before wrapping them up so I'll try and remember the other end - if it's OK to do so.
      I'm looking forward to it already - Lucky me. xx

  3. It sounds like a good day was planned, the cakes look fine before icing, it will be interesting to see them after ... if you remembered! We had an amazing downpour and thunderstorm at teatime yesterday but it only lasted for about an hour or so and then gradually died away.

    1. I agree - home made cake is the very best! Combine that with a Mary Berry (Queen of the sponge cake) recipe and you can't lose really! xx
