This morning thought I would try another recipe from the little book. This was a one egg sponge. As I haven't made a successful sponge using the usual method I thought this would at least be worth a try! Doesn't rise nearly as much but didn't sink either, so that is a bonus.

I did try a small piece and it as actually quite tasty, so I am liking this little book more and more. Hadn't got a lot of inclination to go out but took a book that Anya lent me and went into the park. I walked round the lake then sat on a bench and read for a while. The leaves have turned at last, but sadly there aren't that many of them left!

This ladybird, with a lot of spots, was on the arm of the bench I sat on to read. Haven't seen many ladybirds this year.

I had a cup of tea at the cafe before walking home. I imagine that will be the last time the cafe opens this year. Read a bit more of the book and I think I will get into it, which is good, as I have been right off the reading lately. This tree was still managing to look pretty despite the number of leaves left on it.

Back home I watched a couple of episodes of House and had the two younger cats snoozing next to me. I gave them both a treat and Blue hadn't had one of these before, she was funny playing with it before she ate it!

Tina and I cooked dinner together today which was nice, now full and going to make a quick drink before Strictly results..
