| Chocolate cake... |
We got up early this morning and by 8am I had already changed the bed linen, fed the dog & myself and baked & decorated a chocolate cake - not bad! It's one of those fool-proof recipes that is just so easy to make but tastes yummy at the same time - very moist and chocolatey with a hint of coffee. Given the occasion (a friend's baby party tomorrow), I put some pink and blue sugar pearls on top of the icing. And although it was so early in the day, I had to try a little piece - would have been rude not to :-)
I fear today will be a day for indoor chores as it is really windy and rainy again. Probably just as well as I do have a few things to do - more washing, tidying up, cleaning, ... It never ceases to amaze me how much time can be spend keeping a house in order. And that's with all the time/labour-saving devices we nowadays have - God knows how long it would take otherwise if we had to wash the clothes by hand, scrub the floors etc. So here's a big hooray for irons, hoovers etc!
