And I am not in a bad mood because I had such a good day yesterday. Thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes. I do appreciate it. We had a brilliant meal last night, aided by the fact that it didn't rain here all day. So I got to barbecue ribs for our dinner which was very much what I wanted for our meal. Just in case you think the birthday girl shouldn't be cooking her own dinner - we are going out for dinner tomorrow night. I preferred to eat out on a non-school night.
It did my soul the world of good to be outside wielding the tongs, watching the girls play and then letting them toast marshmallows after dinner. Himself grabbing the rare opportunity to cut the grass.
I also have something to look forward to in nine days time. Something that is going to do my soul even more good. I'll leave you guessing what is happening for now because it is too much fun not to keep it secret for a little while. And as I have spent my day with a half frozen face hoping to God I didn't drool without realising it while I did my grocery shop, I have no photos to show you. Other than a half eaten cake. Which was very, very good I must say.

ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good birthday, this year I cooked my own tea and hung out with the kids and had a great time.
ReplyDeleteMmmm cake looks lovely... Shame you cant eat it with frozen gob... I'd eat it for you if I could... Glad you had such a lovely day yesterday xxx
ReplyDeleteTickled at the thought of you drooling you way up and down the Tesco aisles! And, who told Sarah you can't eat cake with a frozen gob? She can't be a real cake lover if she can't manage that!

That cake looks great but I can't figure out why there is so much still on hand. Are you having wonderful company or going to visit someone fun?
ReplyDeleteI have just made a cup of coffee and a piece of that chocky cake would go so well with it right now!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yum that cake looks amazing, I'm surprised you still had that much left for a photo opportunity! If there;s still any left you could send a piece my way it would be very nice for afternoon tea.
