It will all depend on how many people had it there before they relaxed lockdown.
Anyway cheered myself up making a cake for work - 4 birthdays this week. Four layers two chocolate, two vanilla. Layers of strawberry mousse with strawberries, white chocolate ganache, raspberries in gel, topped with dark chocolate ganache, spare raspberries and strawberries, chocolate buttons, chocolate blueberries and strawberry meringues.
Got the layers in the wrong order because my son kept distracting me but it'll still taste fine 😂😂
Totally took my mind off everything, I was in the kitchen 4 hours. Loved it.

You can't protect people against their own stupidity. Not that I think the govt. have performed well throughout. Sadly, some people just don't understand how dangerous the virus is. A respiratory consultant wrote an article saying he was terrified when he saw pictures of people congregating together. He said, there are three stages to the virus and if they don't get to you before stage three, you will die.

Shouldn't have bothered with the cake - half the people here claim to be strictly dieting (I think some of them have been doing that for a decade at least). I just put it out at lunch time in the dining room and hopefully someone will have some.
Still it filled an evening of otherwise repeated sports on TV.

I am trying to stop nibbling all day. I have put four pounds on since OH went into care. It might not sound like a lot, but I can't let it just pile on. I'm not slim to begin with. (18-20) Mind you, for a slice of a cake like that, hild, I would make an exception.

Can you Trebuchet it to South Essex - I'll find a Net on a pole so that I can catch it...

Morning all: These mornings are getting cooler instead of warmer, no sign of another mini heatwave as yet.

Bless you,jimmy. I think a few pounds could become many pounds and then I'd be like the side of a house.

I did a press-up once (1959 I think it was) but it hasn't started to work yet. If I was worried I could always do another press-up.
