AWASH...

... in a sea of soup!!

Have now got so much of the wretched stuff on the go that I've had to utilise the spare (and sterilised) cake-mixing washing up bowl to contain it. Please note the washing up bowl has never actually been used for washing up and is only ever used when mixing enormous quantities of cake mix that won't fit into conventional mixing bowls.

I think I've tried to do too much again today. I had a large order from Kevin, but was late getting started because I spent longer with Christina than I'd originally planned. In fact we went into Morpeth and had lunch and a walk round the shops. She was great today - really good company.

Anyway, the upshot was, that it was mid-afternoon before I started work. I completed the order and then immediately started work on replacing everything, so chocolate cake, carrot cake, brownies etc could go in the freezer.

James arrived earlier than I'd anticipated, but that was okay, he just had to amuse the girls while I finished up in the kitchen.

We relaxed a little after our meal by watching the NUFC/Man Utd match - again. Always raises the spirits!!

Talking of NUFC - it looks like Cinderella WILL be going to the match after all. Thanks to Matthew who has agreed to let me have his seat, while he treks up into the Gods which is the only space where we could find a spare seat. I really appreciate it Matty!
