un autre

Did another vlog, this time about the new Robin Hood film. Two vlogs in three days? I'm just enjoying my new editing software too much :)
Also wanted to share this tasty picture:

This is my red velvet cake no. 2 in the making. I didn't have my cake tins here in Newcastle so I split the mixture between a couple of loaf tins - our red velvet loaves were demolished in about two days between four hungry housemates. A job well done :) 

poor lad

To counter the hideous hideousness of seeing Gordon Brown walking his family out of 10 Downing Street, I made a cheesecake last night.

And it took the edge off.

on the metro

The other day I saw an old couple (the husband was in a wheelchair) sat on the metro to the coast. They weren't talking, just sitting there quietly. But then the wife brought out a tube of Jaffa Cakes and peeled the lid off. She inhaled the smell of them deeply, and said a soundless "oooh." Grinning, she gave the tube to her husband and he smelled them too and they chuckled and enjoyed the smell together.

I hope when I'm old and on the metro I'll have someone to share the smell of Jaffa Cakes with.
