Yet another warm day. While the rest of the country seemed to be smothered in a blanket of fog it was nice and clear here. It was only as I drove to work at lunchtime that I saw a fine haze over town though it wasn't so noticeable once you were in it.
I woke early this morning, very early, 4.00 in fact. I'd been dreaming about decorating the wedding cake with big white spots until I suddenly remembered the real design. That's when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. I had the radio on very quietly in my headphones which usually sends me back to sleep but not today. I heard the news and weather several times and the farming programme about parsnips so by the time Peter got up at 5.45 I was ready for a cup of tea.
Squeaky found herself a warm spot in the sun where she could have a peaceful snooze. I spent the first part of the morning at the PC filling out and sending some assessment forms for school, something I didn't get round to doing in the holiday. Then, as it had obviously been on my mind, I made a wooden stand for the wedding cake. I cut a 16" circle from some wood and glued 2 battens on underneath to give it a little height and to make it easier to pick up. I didn't have anything large enough to draw round so I had to use a piece of thread stuck to the middle of the board to mark the circle. It's almost but not quite a perfect circle but it should do. I've given it a first coat of white paint and will do a couple more. The cake itself will be on a cake board on top of the wood and I won't put the second cake on top until we're at the hotel.
After work I walked into town as I had a couple of letters to post that I needed to have a printed proof of posting as they were some bits I had sold on eBay.
We've got some new neighbours up in one of the top fields. I guess they were hoping I had brought them some feed. I like sheep with woolly faces.
