Gosh, everyone bought me presents. Mr Smith bought me lillies which I added to the lillies Dynamic Denise not only presented me with but then arranged in a very clever way with the crinkly cellophane in the bottom of the vase. Quite magnificent. Then the boys turned up with fabulous gifts - a book on cupcakes for the Cupcake Queen, me, and a pack of maps of London walks. I was just thinking of putting on my walking boots again so this was perfect timing. They also bought DVDs for Mr Smith so we can watch films ... together. Well, we don't walk together as he strides ahead and makes it all woefully competitive and he hasn't shown much interest in the cakes department as yet.
I cooked an Anniversary feast of lamb, ratatouille and an experimental potato thing. Mr Smith complained the rat was too watery. Oh well, I tried. We finished with choux pastry swans. I was too tired to focus. Next big effort meal will definitely need a bit more forethought, i.e. make some of it the day before, and don't perform aqua zumba, shopping and cupcake masterclass prior to the event.
