Flying Sponge Cake - Not!

Cakes are lovely, it's not often we get them as they are expensive items and quite a luxury, but it was a the weekend so Baba had treated us and paid this from a measly pension she gets. It was one of those cakes that just melt in your mouth and the sponge was so light it could fly away from the plate quite easily. My one unfortunately didn't fly. As I tried to take the first bite, the cake toppled and fell on the floor. Unedible as from that point, I was offered half of Baba's cake as compensation.

Embedded Splinter

Knocks and bruises happen all the time, I don't think there has been a day where a little pain has been experienced from this. Today the pain was felt more than most days as I tried to tackle a door whose latch wouldn't work. Before I had really begun the pain was inflicted. As I surveyed the latch I felt behind the metal bracket and a small splinter got between my nail and finger. another day another ouch! This ouch will last quite a few days as the blood followed the extraction of the splinter.

Bread for the Dog

Carrying a loaf of bread from the car to the kitchen is such a simple job. What can go wrong? Well this can. As I took the loaf in one hand to get the keys out of my pocket, the plastic bag split and the slices of bread scattered themselves all over the wet yard. The bread was only fit for next door's dog . It was a trip to the shop for another loaf, this time it was carried in a carrier bag.
