Embracing the change of season...

A day filled with everyday chores too boring to mention.  

Aliyah and Alan headed to Glasgow for more clothes shopping for his holiday.  I keep forgetting he heads off on Friday for a week.  In my head  the last weekend of September is still two weeks away!!  

After dinner D headed off to his group's singing rehearsal (another sign autumn is here) and I settled down with my crochet to watch the first episode of this years Great British bake-off (GBBO) (A definite sign that autumn has arrived!! :-)  OMG!  Halfway through I was absolutely craving cake!  So much so I texted David asking him to pick up some cake on his way home!!  And I think that was the best showstopper challenge ever!  

Aliyah came through for a quick chat about Alan's holiday and I told her about the Bake off and how it had left me craving for cake.  She then made my dream come true...she produced a slice of the most heavenly red velvet cake I've ever tasted!  It was her mum's birthday yesterday and this was a slice of her cake.  Aliyah had already had a massive slice so insisted I have that one.  I could have kissed her!  hahahahaha!  I never crave cake, in fact in recent years I've actually gone off it but Bake-off definitely triggered a deep longing.  I couldn't have dreamt that the cake of my dreams would present itself so timeously.   There's a lot to be said for the Law of Attraction! :-)
