Apfelkuchen has been shoved into the oven.

Same sponge base and streusel topping as the version with plums. Decided against putting the blackberries in. Will find something else to do with those.

Today was too hot 🥵

I worked from home today and I actually missed the air conditioned office.

I didn't go for a ride this evening as I was dripping sweat just sitting in a chair and couldn't be bothered.

I'm looking forward to winter

There'll be five foot of snow and sub zero temperatures for weeks on end.

I must have moved to Alaska without realising it!

Apfelkuchen now cooling on a wire rack. Apologies if the aroma is keeping everyone awake.

Good morning all, another cracking morning here. Today we are forecast light cloud and a high of 22, very pleasant. This must be the best weather that the Festival/Fringe has ever had.

eBay says it posted as soon as the seller pays for the postage on their website if they use that. So either a massive error by eBay or he did know that were sold, paid for the postage and then forgot.

From what I am seeing on our computer the bay have done a Max 8 to their system. Messages aren't being flagged up. Where you used to be able to read all messages you have to go through a new procedure which doesn't work straight away. I had to look at my emails to read them.
I can see that some things might not be flagged up, but if the postage was paid that must mean that he was aware of the sale.
When I used to sell things I used to immediately contact the buyer saying that I had posted it to them. I also used to pay for the better postal service even though I might have to pay extra. I didn't mind losing a bit so that the buyer could receive their item sooner.

Maybe a little light fibbing going on.
