It was my eldest’s birthday so I had the day off. Tried to make the best of it: pancakes for breakfast, then presents, a call from the grandparents, trip to the (local) countryside, party games (musical statues, blind man’s buff, that sort of thing) and a birthday dinner. Made a cake in the style of a German ICE train (one of her favourites from our interrailing last year) - a bit scruffier than I would have liked but it was well received nonetheless.
Read that at first as kicking back with The Coors at first. Guessing there’s every chance you’ve got no idea who The Coors are? You’re not missing much tbf.
Bought two bottles of wine earlier, will make a start on the shit bottle so we can crack onto the nice one as a weekend treat.
Hullo all. I am having a beer and trying to replot a novel. Later I shall make fajitas, wash the dishes, do some reading, plan tomorrow’s gravel cycle and watch some more Simpsons (S14, alas).
sausage and mash for tea, catching up on masterchef, staying up working on music until the early hours probably. seems to be my routine for the moment.
She looks delighted that cake is amazing! And it’s not scruffy, it’s ‘artisan’ you and your wife seem like a totally GBOP (great bunch of parents)
Also, the colour scheme in your living room is lovely, esp with the red rose in the window!
Aw thank you the cake was a 'mare, the top half didn’t balance properly on the bottom half so it looked like it was tilting going round a corner but she knew what it was, at least. To be fair to them, they’ve been amazing since everything kicked off and have made everything a hell of a lot more bearable x
