And the Saint of the day is….

Happy St John the Baptist day. Today we have cake!

Andre has been cooking again and I had a choice of Raspberry with Cream or Lemon Cake. I went with the raspberry and it was a good choice, she’d soaked some of it in cherry brandy and it was yummmmm. She of course donned her usual outfit (still don’t have a photo – must try harder!) and the trolley with the squeaky wheels came out as well. The cakes were massive! I reckon they were about 15cm tall!! Up baking all night apparently.

She is in training this week in one of the rooms next door so she took it in there during the tea break. We have external people in doing the training plus people from various other departments so who knows what they thought of this woman dressed as Maid Marion wheeling in a trolley of cake and grinning away. They got first dibs and then she came over to our part of the office. I heard her offering Moon Monkey a piece and he asked whose birthday it was and she told him and then he asked if that was a real person……

It worries me sometimes it really does.

Also for all you fact fans out there tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of Dogtanian. Hang on, no I mean d’Artagna – he of the 4 musketeers (apparently there were him and 3 others so it’s 4 not 3). Even Hermione was surprised that he actually existed because the guy who is in the books is based on a real life person. Wikipedia it innit.

See you learn new things here and we get cake – everyone’s a winner.

I’m thinking of commissioning a cake to celebrate the departure of FB, I wonder if Andre would make one for me. It would be big and have iced on the top of it “Fuck off and don’t come back”. I’ll have a word.
