Juxtabook...Thanks Miranda! it looked quite good.<br /><br /><br />Juxtabook - i was surprised how widely the news spread. Still, I get to do bigger and better things.<br /><br />Iris - thank you, and thanks again for sponsoring me.<br /><br />Jodie - luckily today it is sunny in Oxford. Unfortunately I can't eat cake...well, only gluten and dairy free cake and I'm yet to find a good one of those... I can eat rice cakes - what a misnomer and definitely designed to make one feel more stoic.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-7045194290779022642010-09-22T15:44:10.381+01:002010-09-22T15:44:10.381+01:00I am imagining you staring out of a window at a bl...I am imagining you staring out of a window at a bleak, grey sky stoically drinking your instacoffee ;) Maybe you can make some less expensive cake to take to work to compensate (I like the design on the birthday cake btw, it looks kind of like a leaf pattern).<br /><br />Yes please let us know how it goes with the swim (close now).

I did 1.5k before work again today, I didn't actually find it tiring just very boring.<br /><br />Danielle - yes, it is edible gold leaf! It didn't taste of much though :(<br /><br />Jo - hi - nice to see a new face, I will have to come and see your blog.<br /><br />Eva - yes, but I have a TBW pile that is bigger than my TBR; if I wear out some of my clothes then I'll have wardrobe space. I hope.<br /><br />Jackie - it seems to involve cornflour - I will make it soon and report back.<br /><br />Darlene - I think swimming for that time is going to be not a little boring.<br /><br />Dot - yes, I was pleased with it! and so was the birthday boy.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-15266136159646777622010-09-21T09:14:31.205+01:002010-09-21T09:14:31.205+01:00Welcome back!
