I am back in my pyjamas and have warned the dog not to expect anything exciting today. It's now raining, which is cheering me up. (Apologies to anyone caught in the rain.)

It's rather hot again in the city.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Somewhat cooler weather coming around the globe at you.

I am a very proud dad I have a clever daughter and now the GCSE results have made it official.

I also have a dimwit dog that just wanted to spend her entire walk rolling in whatever it was she found so enticing.

Not fox poo fortunately

It's official, I'm now public enemy No1. Merlin has been avoiding me for days after I'd flea treated all the rest but today he made a stupid mistake and went into the conservatory when the outside doors were shut allowing me to follow him in there equipped with the dreaded 'pipette of doom' and close the patio door behind me so I've get him sorted now.

Not a happy little lad but Ho-Hum.

Congratulations, @shouldbeinbed .
Has Manchester prepared for TVCs' arrival?

The bunting is out and we've turned the drizzle up to warm.

Nothing but the best for our guest

So did I.

He just seems so laid back

My friend made us some Jaffa cakes years ago (started as a joke to get my youngest child to cycle back to the car after a reasonably hard off in the Forest of Dean). They were delicious! View attachment 141145

Due to my skills in the kitchen, I would just buy them

I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like Jaffa cakes. Orange and chocolate together are vile.

They were really nice, especially the orange bit that was sharper than a normal one!

We are not big cake eaters so it is rare we bake although thanks to @Night Train, TVC has made a seriously scrummy lemon monsoon cake

Never heard of a monsoon cake, but cake is one of my big downfalls... (Equivalent to @potsy and kebabs!), though it has to be home made to be really tempting! (Not necessarily by me, just not made in a factory).

I'm wondering how you do a mirror glaze, that could be my challenge for this week!
