ALAS POOR KENWOOD......

A happy "Normal" day... Only one medical visit!!
Today was th3e day I was to bake a cake as Rebecca , Tom and Iris were coming for tea and cake to celebrate, belatedly, Rebeccas birthday.

All went well but at the very end of the mix, my trusty Kenwood died!!!
I had bought her second hand in 1978, from a friend , Vanessa, who had multiples of eveything and simply didn't want it. If I remember rightly I also bought a denim shirt dress and all for £10!  probably a lot of money then

Anyway I mark the occasion with this pic...



The cake was lovely..

And here it is.....

And this was the company!! a crocodile and a daddy!!

So as you can see I'm feeling brighter... Monday was a very very difficult day, I was very emotional.. This happens some times and I guess you can see that it is then reflected in my Blog... sorry if I was too maudlin!!!

As well as a normal day in the kitchen I kept the house tidy... even made my bed as I got out of it... well you have toi when your house is ion the market!


HUG ME, I'VE GOT MND

BAKING!

Today has been slow for me... Didn't sleep at all well last night. BUT I had to bake today, Freeze cakes ready to ice next Sat... for MND Fundraiser on Sun.


My legs are sooo weak today. I tried being in wheel chair... too low. I tried using perching chair, inflexible and too high, I tried resting against the Zimmer.... and found...... the most efficient, yet tiring was leaning and lurching against work surfaces! 
So 5 sponge cakes made. 4 for Sun. The fifth is in the bin. I baked it and it really looked weird... it was then that I found the other two eggs that should have been used !!! OK 80% I can live with.... but it does grieve me that I have had to chuck out good ingredients...


So a song to end... the link being "So High I can't Get Over It"   ie the work surface from a wheelchair!! Never mind Just Rock My Soul  !
