Wow, just as I type this post, I'm listening to Saturday night radio. Hubby has gone out and I'm babysitting. Instead of watching Britain's Got Talent (I'll save that for when we're both in to watch it together!). It's proper old skool stuff on the radio and one of my faves ever has just come on. 'When the rhythm starts to play, dance with me, make me sway'. I've not idea what it is or who it's by but boy, does it remind me of my girly holidays to Tenerife. Oh yes. Well, it remind me in a kind of drunken hazy blur! Happy happy daze indeed :)
A couple of nights ago I made a carrot cake. Nothing dramatic about that? Well no, but when you realise you haven't got enough margarine, but can't be bothered to go and get anymore, you begin to wonder if it's worth putting the effort in to make. 50g down on margarine and I perservered. The creaming was more difficult and I only added the juice of 1 orange, not 2. It was supposed to be in for an hour. An hour later and in went the knife. It came out clean :) I can honestly say that it's the spongiest, fluffiest and actually yummiest carrot cake I've ever made. Will I be able to make another to that consistency and texture? Lol we'll find out soon enough!
Tomorrow is swimming day with our little bear. Can't wait :)
This week the biking has gone by the wayside but I've walked further than normal so the exercise hasn't fallen by the wayside. The cardio has though :s Best have another slice of carrot cake to compensate then!!
...and as I finish this blog, 'I'm horny' comes on the radio. Tuuuuuune :D Wow this is great when you're sober but when you've got a good few happy hour drinks inside you, Tenerife measures, you've got a tan and you're dancing on the tables in Lineker's Bar... you feel like you can take on the dance world. Memories of yet another happy hour drink. Fantastic ;p
