20th May - Epic Cake

My rather epic birthday cake made by my fantastic mother. Yes that is edible gold icing. Mmm.

24/03 - Sweets and Stress

My mum sent me a box of sweets to have on hand 'in case of stress emergencies'. I felt like I was at boarding school, Mallory Towers or Hogwarts or somewhere. I have the best mum ever.

This is Rachel's hamster, Aslan. He looks really fat, but I think he is just part lion. There is a great photo of him doing a rage on Lucy's blog.

I also wanted to post this picture of Freakish Backwards Duck. My mum took this at Silverdale, so I can promise you that it is a real duck and not photoshopped. She says it seems perfectly happy and socially accepted by the other ducks, and just looks a bit strange. A bit strange?

We had boiled eggs for lunch yesterday. I can never seem to get the timing quite right at the moment for the perfect dippy egg. My mum is the best at it. Which makes sense, because she's a mum and they can do these sort of magic things like make dippy eggs, and roast dinners, and understand washing machines, and take up clothes that are too long without it looking rubbish.
