74/100 Happy Days

#100happydays taste testing before Dot's birthday. The first Swiss roll I have made since school. If practice makes perfect, we will all double in size before I get this right. #whatwouldPaulandMarysay?

Delicious, brownie-like and a bit toffee-esque meets meringue. It went from being a bit soggy to biscuity in a flash.

Coming back from holiday and keeping up the relaxed feel with a trip to the cafe for a cheeky crepe and a catch up with friends. 
An old photo as I didn't take one at the time.

100 Happy Days 31 - 40

Day 31

I'm not sure my supply class this week is actually normal. This is how they arrived in the room this morning, the teachers were all really welcoming too. What a lovely school.

Transported back to my childhood summers, when I used to read a much earlier edition - hardback and with a torn dust cover, in my grandmother's house.
Nick bought this one for my birthday purely because of the illustrations.

Day 33
29 June
A bit of light relief from the world cup, and an antidote to the last film I watched with my daughter (My Sister's Keeper), tonight we watched 'Alvin and the Chipmunks'. I definitely enjoyed it more than I should have done.

Day 34
30 June
I bought myself some marbles, I am now looking forward to using them in photos n stuff

2/100 Happy Days

It's half term, I am a teacher and yesterday I got together with my friends who also work in schools.
How lovely to have time out to bake and relax with friends while putting the world to rights.
Here are my triple chocolate brownies. Happy days indeed.

A mitzvah catch up!

I've been really busy but here are some little things I've been doing along the way:
I've been offering lifts, sharing job alerts with potential 'competition', offering a shoulder to cry on, saying thank you with chocolates, giving a free haircut (not sure anyone would pay me, did save the cost of one at a salon), emptied the dishwasher - AGAIN! and I got my friend's book in the school library.
... that's it for now!
