Birthday baking

Will's birthday is tomorrow and for the first time he will be at school. Not that he minds because he "loves school", if only Daisy could remember her primary school enthusiasm for anything. So, biscuits are baked and an "amazing" cake has been made and decorated. Someone round here (Mr Smith maybe?) has a great family tradition of having birthday cake at breakfast, I like that so much I am going to steal it for my own family.

In very firmly non-cake news, I have one term before going on an amazing holiday for two weeks. I need to feel a bit happier about my body shape before I go so have developed a plan : no bread stuffs and butter, reduced alcohol, mainly vegetables and fruit, on the whole made from scratch and a return to the pre- 3 week cold and 5 weeks in a new sedentary job swimming pool. That should do it, I reckon. I may give myself journal updates, you may freely ignore all of this as there is nothing less interesting than what someone else is eating (except for me, I love to know what other people eat!)
