... that my order of macaron mats will be winging their way to me from France today. I'm really into these little treats now, but only have one mat which I bought while we were on holiday, and have discovered that this slows me down hence the order for more...
Sorry, I'm getting a little side-tracked by the girls who, unusually, have been allowed into the lounge this morning and are currently play-fighting round my legs! They seem to be playing a game of "Who can bite the other's ears off first" at the moment and it would appear to be a draw in the early stages of the contest. They'll move onto the back legs next, that's when it gets REALLY competitive!
When I say it's unusual for them to be allowed in the lounge, that only applies to the mornings when I'm too busy in the kitchen to be able to check on the havoc they're wreaking. Consequently I keep them in their own room or outside while I'm working, but somehow we appear to have forgotten that today!
...Anyway, macarons - They need to stand and rest once they've been piped for up to an hour and this becomes very frustrating because it means I can't start on the next batch until this lot is out of the oven. Having the extra mats will solve that problem and I'll be able to get three batches piped in quick succession. Good use of time! Can't do with waiting around!
(Little yelp from one of the girls shows it's getting serious. I've now got Rose running up and down the settee in the sunroom like a mad thing, while Lily runs the length of the lounge and back over and over again to try and distract her from her "Queen of the Castle" perch. It's not working!)
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!

It's a good game to watch but not so good to referee. Just a thought but do you have a mulberry bush in the garden? Lily and Rose might like to play instead "Here we go round the mulb'rry bush on a ...."(tee hee)
