Sunday space

So, as well as putting up the picture I've washed my autumn coat and chilled out in the kitchen for a while.

The power of distraction is amazing. My tooth is hurting less and I've been very productive.

Two batches of cakes...



One with a regular recipe and the other using flax seeds instead of eggs. Thank you to Sayward for the 'f-egg' (fake egg) recipe, and the tip to add in some spices. The cakes are just as yummy as regular fairy cakes. Success.

After that I was still feeling kitchen-y so I've prepped some chocolate truffles mix to make later. There was also time whilst all that was going on to try another dahl recipe.




It's turned out yummy but *very* dry and thick. Hopefully when I reheat it with some more liquid later it will transform into perfection.

Any body want the recipes for any of my creations?

And now on to more of the day

Dee Eye Why? ... Because I gotta!

Today I finally had enough. The picture present, given last year, perfect for the bathroom, wrapped in bubbles, leant upright against various corners had stared at my subconcious *enough*.

It was going up.

A chair to stand on. A pencil and spirit level. The drill. Enthusiasm outweighing ineptitude I (very) proudly present...






Colour to lift the white bathroom!

In other news, I'm still having a bad time with my teeth. The DIY-burst is probably a reaction to it, because otherwise I'd lie on the sofa and moan quietly. And that would add guilt at 'wasting' time to the mix. I am master of the mix, and will not be beaten by an inflamed nerve. Not yet anyway.
