Congrats on your new job HH

[julesapple]

Thanks, girls. HOOGE Congrats, HH!!!! Sounds very exciting!

Got the second skim of the cake done; it now looks like a solid rectangle of chocolate! Just got to try it again, when the ganache is set enough to get the top level. I would like the corners to be sharper, but you can't have everything first time around.

Thinking of chili con carne for supper - 'tas gorn awful cold here, although pretty out.

Quarter past five there was still a little bit of light in the western sky - Spring is coming

[Glutton4...]

Can't confirm or deny, RL - we'd lit the fire and drawn the curtains by then!

Evening all...
Had planned a quiet night last night and was just about to put a match to the fire, when we were asked out to dinner..
Which led to beers afterwards resulting in a tired head this morning...
Then off to the cinema this afternoon to see the second Hobbit movie.. Very enjoyable..

You'll probably wonder why I'm making a fuss, but look at this



This is a triple layer sponge cake, with the most beautiful ganache finish - lovely crisp edges and the corners are as sharp as I can get them, ready for me to fondant ice it. Why am I making a fuss? Because I've never done it before and, even though I say it myself, I've done a bloomin' good job!

Thank you all, it's been a few weeks of waiting and hoping that everything would be confirmed. Didn't get an awful of info, and I still don't have a timetable Proposes to be quite stress in getting things on the road. Though I need to decide whether I shall be driving there or taking the train.

As I said to the police officers at the desk, it is lovely to know that there are some good people out there who look out for each other.

Restores your faith in human nature don't it Jeanie? xxx

HH What is a magic square?

Morning All.....Not sure what the weather is doing. It's dark out and I haven't opened the curtains.

I've about given up on sleep, unless I can shift the cats along the sofa a wee bit and curl up with them.

Far too early for coffee.....
