I finished my book today :-) It was "unputdownable" if that is even a word! The 2011 film wasn't all that far off but as usual the book far excelled the film. I will look forward to reading the other two in the trilogy.
Before I do anymore reading I might do more crochet on my table runner.

No cake decorating, jewellery making or Christmas Crafts today. The latest course was "Managing Children's Behaviour". Wasn't sure but thought I'd go along see what it was all about and did quite enjoy it, it raised some interesting points, so will venture to the remaining five weeks and see what else I can get out of it.
Roman made us laugh today when he said he had been doing music at school and played "the thing like a piano but not a piano with a stick" We asked if he meant an Xylophone? "Yes that! An ixoyadalaphone!"
Popped to Asda this afternoon to take some things back and get some cake ingredients. Waited until the kids had come home and asked if they would like to help make a cake, response? "No, we're going in the garden, but give us the bowl to lick out!" So made these four sponges, x2 chocolate and x2 plain vanilla. My aim is to construct a chocolate/vanilla battenburg cake tomorrow for dads birthday with vanilla and chocolate sponges covered in chocolate icing.

Once they had cooled they were sliced into rings, sandwiched together with chocolate spread and assembled as before, covered in cling film and a book placed on top to compress! Will finish tomorrow. x
