I've had enough

I feel restless, fed up - on the verge of a big change.....

Fellow bloggers may have noticed that I have stopped following your blog.....please don't be offended, I was just getting overwhelmed with blog updates, but I still have them on my internet favourites, and will be dropping by from time to time....

One blog I have followed for a long time is Let Her Bake Cake, by Hilary, a canadian girl transplanted to London. Now I love this blog - it is my mostest favouritest blog of all. I found it one day by link from Shimelle (well known to you scrapper gals) and I love the tone she sets, and I love her love of baking. Do drop by, because she seems like a nice chick (she nearly always comments on the comments you leave) and quite often she has a damn fine recipe featured there. To this end, I have been having a go at the Ottolenghi brownie recipe she featured fairly recently, and this is the brownie stack I made for Dad's 65th birthday:

They are, very good brownies. Although the general concensus of opinion is that half of one at a time is enough. There are four 100g bars of choc in the recipe (makes 9 biggies). I chop up one bar as an 'addition' and boy, it's rich.

On Thursday Oliver and I trollied off to Plymouth to see the Horrible Histories show, Awful Egyptians. It was really very, very good. We both love HH - it is just the bees knees, the mutts nuts, the top banana of kids entertainment masquerading as education. Here we are with our boggle goggles on. The second half of the show used a 3D screen, and it was brilliant. I screamed like a girl, along with the other hundreds of real (under age 12) girls in attendance.



Mark, Oliver and I went to the cinema this morning and saw Voyage Of The Dawn Treader. It was great, although my eyes leaked tears (really - not crying, just welling up and spilling out) throughout the last 10 minutes when the children were leaving Narnia, and Reepicheep (sp?) was heading off to Aslan's world. I fear I am becoming (more) mentally unhinged. Have had a headache since.

Gotta sign off - nearly time to dish up our Saturday night roastie - I thought we were having pork, but when the meat was defrosted and ready to go in the oven, it looked suspiciously like lamb. I hope it is lamb, because I have chucked in a load of rosemary with it.
