Evenin' all. I'm starting to feel better so after a walk to the shops decided to bake. My kitchen was a bit like a science lab but I must say, I am pleased with the results.

Coconut coffee cake anyone? It's dairy free (It is also hanging on the wall in this pic!)

[Bren In Pots]

Good to see you posting KCN

just reaching up to pick the walnuts off the cake

[veggiechicken]

Hiya KCN. Good to hear you're up and about again.
I'd lurve a piece of your cake please. Just my sort of cake - plenty of nuts

[KittyColdNose]

Do you not like walnuts Bren?

The frosting is made with coconut butter. I also used it in the sponge instead of marg.

They're my favourite so that's why I'd eat them first

When you've taught your dogs to mop the floor, Jay, can you teach Domino cat how to close a door behind him?

Have to wait Hazel until I teach the dogs that one too...been trying for 13 years...no luck!

Good-o - Bren and VC have picked all those 'orrible walnuts off already so I don't have to.

Don't s'pose Dom is going to change his habits either.

Oh - catbed update! I think that I am winning. Although Dom still chooses the box on occasion, more often he's in the bed. I'll think about taking the box away in the next few days, I think.

As we speak...

Petal curled up beside me- she was spayed yesterday at 7 months poor baby - but the vet advised she is not robust enough to carry an accidental pregnancy. Our favourite park is full of un-neutered male dogs. So it was a no-brainer really, but I still feel bad. She also has a referral the week after next to a specialist opthalmologist as her eyes are still very spaced out - neighbour suggested I called her Marty Feldman! Lord my pets are expensive

[Hazel at the Hill]

Aw - poor Petal poppet, Jeanie.

I know that there are pros and cons with getting dogs (or cats for that matter) neutered at such a young age, if there is a risk of her being 'jumped' by the local young bucks, I can see why you've had her 'done'!

Domino cat's mum was six months old when she had her litter - a kitten herself - and on her first outing out the cat flap and was promptly set about by the local tom - result, four kittens. Pet charities are overwhelmed with sorry little scraps of accidental fluffy kits and pups, so on balance, I think you've done the right thing by her.

[Hazel at the Hill]

Goodness - look at the time! That's what comes about from turning on the TV 'for 5 minutes' when you get back from the pub and find a Clint Eastward film on!

Nos da, peeps!

Good morning, when is the nice warm weather going to get here? I am so cold this morning. Going to brew up, coffee or tea anyone?

[Bren In Pots]

Morning its breakfast time and I'll make my own tea Carrie I think yours will be cold and stewed by now, the coffee still might be warm though.

Domino cat looks snug in his bed Hazel , so it might be time to remove the the label
