  • A meme from Lledeb...

    ... to try to make up for the fact that I am clearly the worst blogger on Earth, and never post anything anymore :(

    1.PICK OUT A SCAR YOU HAVE, AND EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT IT?

    I have one on my bottom from where I fell on some gravel when I was little - I remember having to pick one bit out (there was blood :) ) and I have a teeny tiny round scar to commemorate it.

    13. WHAT KIND OF HAIR/EYE COLOR DO YOU LIKE ON THE SAME SEX?

    That's in no way something I care about.

    Good for some people.

  • Help! Fashion advice required....

    I have to go to (yet another) wedding v v soon...

    I have a lovely dress to wear (mine is a trifle less skinny than in the picture, obviously - but is still very nice :) ) and have turquoisey shawl thing (to match the bits in the dress) which is all great, but I require appropriate shoes (that are nice, preferably not too expensive and that I can walk in all day - am not great with v high heels) and a bag (again - preferably cheapish and needs to fit cash, keys, two insulin pens and my blood testing stuff)...

    Require assistance pronto!

    Not sure what to do!

    I had vaguely wondered about these, but fear that shoes may be too tall/bag too small and also, am doubtful about whether black is the right way to go....
    This is very very hard :'(

  • Happy Birthday Soy....

    Hope you have a nice weekend at home, and that someone makes you a lovely birthday cake :)

    Hamster

  • Hmm...

    Not sure how I feel about this...

    It's the same in music (and probably other art that I don't know so much about)...

    There are lots of unfinished symphonies etc which have either been published in their unfinished form or finished by someone else.

    In this case, I completely agree that it would be tragic to let so much good work go to waste, but I also feel that it's a bit unfair to the author (or composer/artist etc in other examples) that his work should be read in this unfinished state (with gaps and without a final authorial decision)- it's obviously not what he wanted for it and, no matter how good it is, it's not the same book as it would have been if he had completed it.

    Mixed feelings.

    I'll probably still buy it if it is published though.

  • I am happy to report

    that spinach and garlic with a fried egg in the middle and some sweet chilli sauce on top makes a tasty tea :)

  • Cake...

    ... is done...

    Thankyou for suggestions :D

    I decided that there wasn't time to do any kind of elaborate sculptures, so I selfishly opted for the kind of cake that I'd want to eat if it was my birthday :)

    It is lemon sponge soaked in lemon glazey stuff, filled with creamy mascarpone type icing and lemon curd and topped with crystallized lemon slices and more glaze...
    It's not as pretty as I might have liked, but I think that it should taste pretty good.

    I've used about 12 lemons today :>>

  • Assistance required please...

    I have to make a splendiferous birthday cake for my dad over the next couple of days, but I don't know what to make...

    Suggestions, please?
