Good morning all. Another bright, sunny day here. Hope everyone has a good one.

Thoughts to all Vics. Stay safe. Can someone let me know what's going on in Warburton please.

raining and grey here .... heading for a high of 16 degrees. I've got three layers of clothes on and fluffy socks. Pan - I DONT want to know if you go to the beach today okay??!!

Just listened to a radio interview with NZ firefighters in Victoria ...... they said that all is calm at present, but they are on tenterhooks.

Hi all - thanks for stating Pan.
It's quite sunny & warm up here...I just baked a cake & having a piece (still warm) with a coffee...it's the little things.
I've also just put the finishing coat on some paintings I did for Mr Cake's cousin who's just had a baby - they're v.cute - a giraffe, a zebra & a lion. Good to get them finished & I can send them off to Aussie now.
And I'm getting my portfolio together (I'm a dressmaker) so clients can see my previous work when I get inundated with enquiries!!

Anyway, I will not be drinking today - have been feeling a little stressed lately which is when I want to drink. So I just thought I'd put it put there for you guys...no drinking for Angel today.

Love yas all.

Morning all, same as usual in Singvegas - 32c humid, thunderstorm around 3pm! I envy anyone who gets seasons!

Glad you're all safe and well. Pan, how many days AF do you have now?

Aunty Mame, I'm studying to be a Primary School Teacher. Open University Australia and Curtin in WA have just started a degree which is mainly online, and I can do my teaching practice here in Sing at one of the international schools.

Tawny and Rags, thanks for the links.

Angel - what kind of cake? I'm supposed to be wheat free this week but my mouth is watering!

Have a great day. Bx

Following along behind you with 15 days here ..... a week behind Angel! Maybe when I get to 3 weeks I'll take up baking too!! Angel you sound like your creative juices are flowing!

Rags - both Angel and I in the North Island - her up top (the warm and rainy bit), me down the bottom (the cold and windy bit).

Betty - that is great that you are studying on-line. Am trying to get my partner to think about that as an option.

PAn - enjoy the beach!! Hope you verheated:

Woohoo Panicked 28 days...and Bettalicious are you on day 23??
Bets the cake is a lemon syrup sponge - so easy & so good. No icing or anything & it's kinda like a sweet bread/cake affair. I've eaten too much of it today...
Hey Mame...I'm not AF (just want to make sure I'm not misrepresenting) just had a major bender on the 7th Feb - threw up - and thought "you know what, fuck this, I'm not gonna do it anymore" and haven't since. I had a real shift in conciousness - hence the airy fairy 'old me was shed' I do need to check myself all the time now and I make sure I have at least 3 AF days a week and I'm trying to drink no more than 14 units/week (world health authority advising) mostly successfully.
I'll probably have to go AF for a period soon but to be honest I think I could be the only person in the world that can't do it...!

Rags - how was Sydney??
