I have a new top...

I have a new top...I have a new stripey top...I have another new blue stripey top...

Good morning all! How are we all doing on this sunny, cloudy, sunny, cloudy, yes definitely cloudy Friday morning? I've had a bit of a blip this morning but I am endeavouring to overcome it by blogging to all of you.

So back to the top. Many of you will know that there is a mug embargo (I'm not sure that's the right word but I like the sound of it) out on me. I am prohibited from allowing any more mugs into the house and I fear that the same may be about to happen to me with stripes...

You see my lovely new top has been added to an already flourishing collection...

Please look at the following exhibits...

I mean seriously, how many stripes can one person have?

Whenever Mr Lardshow takes me out into the land of the living my eyes are just automatically drawn to stripes, it's as if I'm a bumblebee looking for other bumblebees so that I can compare stripey, fat tummies with them! 

In truth I think my love of stripes is down to just one thing; I like to pretend that I'm French! If I could just find myself the perfect beret then I'd be sorted, after all, I already have the stripey top and a string of garlic...

So there you have it, a little insight into the stripey madness of my world. 

Next blog...spotty dressing gowns...

Camping Cupcakes

Morning all!
My lovely Rachel's here! She's being very helpful and is making me pace. There's an extra need for pacing today because tomorrow we're going CAMPING!
I have not been camping for years, all our holidays as a child were camping ones. I was always happiest in a tent, in a field with a sheep near by (just the one sheep mind).
So the wheelchair is booked, frozen sponges are chilling in the freezer and the hot water bottles are ready. I really hope I manage this weekend. Cross those fingers...
So anyway Rach and I have done some quick baking. We've made these lemon & raspberry cupcakes. I got the cases from Sainsburys, they're little pudding pots for picnics. I think they almost look like tents, don't you?
So after my rest if Rach let's me go back into the kitchen I'm going to drizzle some lemon icing over the top of them...delicious!
Have a beautiful weekend everyone, the sun is promising to be out...don't forget that suncream!
