Almonds, chocolate cake and RSVP.

-
1. The smell of amaretto coffee.

2. Having cake at work because it was Oli's birthday and because Mark was celebrating a year with the company; and managing to blag a slice of each.

3. Invitations printed on thick card because they make me feel tremendously important.

    A bank of ox-eye daisies next to the station platform, all nodding in the wind. (At least I think they were ox-eye. You know, the tall ones.)

    The shearers all being very interested when mum was telling them about our plans to turn the fleeces in knitting wool, and then being really careful to keep all straw out of the way. (Straw in wool is bad.)

    The external emails seem to be working again today. Hurray!

    OK, are you mailing out the invites or receiving them?

    4. (or higher, if you count the comments) Receiving invitations and anticipating the events.

Bee, green beans and movie night.

-
1. An enormous fat bumble bee at work. She is so bulky that she can knock dead blossoms out of the way as she gets right in to the new jasmine flowers. 2. Green beans squeaking in my teeth. 3. We watch The Goonies . It's fun to see it through adult eyes; and it's fun to see my daughter suddenly understanding gags and references that she's seen in other media.

Midsummer, feeding and cakes.

1. The shortest night and the longest day. I was up at Wellington Rocks with Anna, Paul and Jason. We couldn't see the sun through the mizzling clouds, but we had got up at 4am and were there observing the moment it came up, and that's what counts. 2. Food at The Junction Inn , Groombridge. All four lunchclub members were impressed by the quality -- although the portions were rather small. I had smoked eel with beetroot cream (Oli says that sounds like witch food, but it was delicious, and didn't taste of beetroot at all); Ed and Doug had wild mushroom risotto; and Johnny P got his face round a huge homemade burger. It had chips with it that were very good too -- I know this because I stole some. 3. Taking The Mother's homemade cakes to work. There were three -- one chocolate, one coffee and walnut and one lemon with homemade jam in the middle. There was a lot of stickiness in the office for most of the afternoon.

As needed, forgotten cake and syrup.

-
1. I promised myself I wouldn't moan and grumble about it -- but I do. And as if by magic, a very kind friend produces the required blazer (and also the next size up). 2. I'd forgotten that I'd added a tiramisu cake to the shopping order. 3. The elderberry syrup is now so thick that it coats the spoon.
