It’s been ages since I blogged properly, although the twitter feed does seem to be working well at posting something interesting most days (and is probably better than actually following the feed, since I do use it quite a lot)

Over the last few days I have been uploading my holiday pics to Flickr, and there are a few sets for your perusal: Munich, May Camping, and Polo.

I intend to pick out some of the best, or the ones with stories, over the coming days/weeks/decades/when I get time and inclination.

Sometimes it’s a shame you have to be American to support US election candidates – this guy is definitely worth $8.34.

I wonder if PoliGeeks have seen him?

Going through the ritual of preheating the oven and lining a cake tin. #
In the kitchen making a cake while my husband builds a rose arch. V heteronormative. #
This is, however, one badass cake. Block and a half of butter, practically whole tub cocoa… #
Questions being asked re why we don’t appear to be making Cat Forest Gateau – or indeed addressing imminent cat starvation. #
