Funny.....when we were kids there was always fresh baked cake, desert/puddin'.Warm fruit cakeTakes me back to when my mum, who was a great baker, used to bake a cake on a sunday afternoon when the oven was still hot. The smell is wonderful.
When we were first married Mrs D carried the tradition on for some years......then it gradually ceased. Nowadays I can go months without anything sweet.

Have you checked the level on your floor?
Tomorrow, turn the turbo 180° and see if it feels like you are going down hill.
No worries, pleased to help j
Happy birthday Lee.
What sort of band are you in?

Mini D has bounced back from her overnight bout of chunderings. I made her a cup of sweet tea and a slice of dry toast (she's weird, doesn't like butter) for breakfast and she ate it. She asked for the same for lunch and she's wolfed it down. 9 hours on from her last technicolour yawn and she's right as rain.
Conversely, I'm 2 days on and still feel a bit weak and shaky and my stomach and chest muscles feel like I've been punched.

With all this talk of cakeI have made a fruit cake. Its cooling down. Mr WD is hovering in the kitchen, a bit like the Indians circling a wagon train.
I've just made a ginger cake, i have been buying it at Sainburys, it is only a quid, but I thought i would make my own.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

I like ginger cake. And parkin is similar. It's a bit lighter than ginger cake, not as heavy.
Similar thing here, MrsP likes baking, but for some reason she doesn't often do it . My daughter when she lived at home was also a very good natural baker. MrsP's grandmother came from a family of professional bakers who had a bakers shop near Palmers Green, North london from before the 1st world war until the late 1960's. Fresh cooked bread, buns, and cakes are the food of gods, it is a shame the art is on the wane.
PS, the last proper bakers shop closed in Barnet earlier this year, it had been a family bakers since the 1890's.
Is it @screenman who does bumps/knocks in cars......he would have done that cheaper
Not much cheaper.
It was a struggle on the turbo this morning it felt like it was all up hillmaybe it's the cold weather
Always make me laugh the guys on a turbo with the fan in their face, lot easier with it behind you.

There is a bakery in Mach but to be honest the prices of things as so exorbitant that I won't go in there. They are eye watering prices.
I think Mr WD is trying to eat as much of the cake as he can before one of my grandsons arrives which will be in about 30 minutes.

Are the rumours true about Mr WD, that he invented WD40 as a make up remover and moisturiser for our Welshie?
