I survived!

Well - I survived the 2 day fast!  Truthfully it was reasonably easy and that ice cream last night sure tasted good!  I don't believe that this will be a regular thing - but its good to know that I could if necessary.



Today I decided to set to and make some gluten free cakes.  I wanted to try out my new Victoria sandwich tins - mini cakes with a push up bottom - and Wendy has to have a gluten free diet so I thought that I would make them for the sewing class tonight.  The tin worked like a dream and, even though I say so myself, the final result is not too shabby!  The recipe - an all in one easy method - is here at https://www.dovesfarm.co.uk/recipes/delicious-gluten-free-victoria-sponge/#reviews




Having bought the new ipad, and told mum that she can have my old one, I popped round to a good friend today and asked her if she wanted my Kindle fire.  She already has a tablet but it really struggles with speed of connectivity etc .  She was delighted and I spent a couple of hours setting her up with emails, facebook, kindle apps and a calorie counting app (she's trying a low cal diet so this must be easier than looking everything up). There is clearly more to explain but you can get information overload!

After a late lunch and a dog walk (where Daisy missed timed her leap down the hill and skidded on her nose - she wasn't hurt but it was funny) I then set to trying to complete the homework due in tonight - some free machine quilting.  I must confess to not being a fan but am not hating it as much as I did.  It just pains me that we work for ages making a block and then cover it in dense quilting - ah well I have to learn I guess.  Last week I got an "excellent" - let's see what the reaction is tonight!
