Random.

A last minute sporting event for the olympics has just been announced...

...cat swingball. Molly is training hard.

It puts me in mind of this cartoon, kindly left on my desk by a colleague one day (back when I used to have paid employment) and now residing on my noticeboard.

Our little cherry tree is flowering. There aren't many blossoms yet, it's just a small tree and seems to be very slow growing, but the flowers are rather pretty.

I've done a little bit of work in preparing the purple and green blanket for its tada (aaargh, those ends!), however, I've mostly been distracted by the garish stripey one. No more photos of it I'm afraid, yet...

Finally I manage to make something involving nutella and mini eggs without eating all the ingredients beforehand. The nutella was a little bit sweet and gooey to use as an icing, so I wouldn't bother doing that again. Still tasty though. Wish there was some left now.

While we're on baking...

Before.

After.

You can't beat a warm scone straight from the oven. Wish I had some of these left too. They're very quick to make though, especially if you don't bother to roll out the dough - I just shape balls of the dough into little fat cylinder shapes. Much less washing up to do too.

Did you spot the pineapple in the above photo?

It became a pineapple upside down pudding and was declared delicious, though I personally thought it a little sweet. I don't mind that it's all gone.

It's become a rather glutinous post. To continue with the theme...

This was my Easter bunny last night.

And this was him about five minutes later. My willpower was non existent. I'm afraid to say I scoffed the lot and there's none left. What will I do tomorrow when the rest are tucking into their Easter eggs. Sigh.
