A new month has begun. April 2011. That means that we are now one quarter of the way through this year! That means less than nine months until Christmas! Must do a countdown to keep Wendy on track!
Before I begin to do today's photo theme I have to tell you, I can hear bag pipes! Yes! Someone is playing bag pipes nearby. I have heard this a few times the last couple of weeks. I can't see anyone. I am wondering if someone goes out into the middle of the park somewhere to practice.
Anyway, today's photo theme is: 1. April fools day. Yes today is the day of the fool. I am beginning to feel like I am the fool today. I have had 3 disasters and it is only midday. The Gods are having a real laugh at my expense today.
Disaster 1. I spilt olive oil all down the front of my kitchen unit. Tripped over a dog! Disaster 2. I opened the said unit door to get out cleaning stuff to remove the oil and the feckin door sort of fell off! Actually it only half fell off. Seems that a hinge has broken. So as not to strain the bottom hinge I have been very clever and propped it up with a box of washing tablets.
You can see the oil on the left hand side!
My dear husband will be so pleased that he has yet another job for the weekend. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a brand spanking new kitchen? I wish! Just had a thought. Lots of people this week have been discussing the origins of phrases that we commonly use. Where on earth does "spanking new" come from?
Disaster 3. I wanted to make a cake this morning to take with us to the allotment tomorrow for lunch. I make lots of loaf cakes but this one is a new recipe for a vanilla and chocolate marble cake. I got it mixed up in no time and popped it in the oven after carefully checking the temperature on the gauge. (Remember my oven has its own mind about these things!). It needed 1 hour at gas mark 3 or 160 degrees if you are using leckie.
I remained in the kitchen as I was ironing the flags for the bunting and cutting out pattern pieces. I checked after 40 minutes....................... bloody, feckin, stupid oven! Scuse language!
The cake has risen so much that semi liquid cake mixture has over flowed everywhere. If my dear husband doesn't get the stupid oven sorted out ASAP I am going on strike. I shall refuse to cook anything at all.
So midday, three disasters down and I am wondering if the Gods up there are intending to have any more laughs with me today? They flipping well better not. I have had enough of April fools day!
Lets hope the month ahead is a good one for us all and that spring is here to stay. I have had some good news so my month is already starting well. Tomorrows DPT is: 2.Your favourite beverage cup or glass. (Suggested by Mickey)
