Fat Tuesday

[vilakins]

OK, that was quite a good day.

• I went to a pancake feast with some friends from work and ate four of them (pancakes, I mean) with lemon and cinnamon sugar. [hangs head]
  
  
• Then I went straight on to my Tai Chi class, and though I didn't think being full of pancakes and coffee was particularly conducive to good form, I was fine. It was too hot so we had the class outside on the grass which was really nice.
  
  
• And then I came home to watch us... beat Australia again! [jaw drops] That make three out of three games, and each one ending with a boundary (a four tonight). I am both stunned and delighted.

And now I'm off to bed. It's sticky and hot but I have installed a new fan, bought on the way home, which shouldn't rattle and annoy me when I'm trying to go to sleep, and the thing looks powerful enough to create a decent chill factor.

Vanilla and lavender sweetener? You mean like Splenda, but with vanilla beans in it? I've never thought of doing that. This was just sugar mixed with a little cinnamon and I was careful not to use much; I like my pancakes lemony and tart. :-)

yes, I put the sweetener in a jar and I've got a vanilla pod in one and lavendar flowers in the other (I bought them from Neals Yard, so they are ok for food) and they are yummy. Whenever I use a bit I just top it up and it keeps flavouring it. Even with sweetener I have to be careful, as some have milk products in them, would you believe it. Tsk.

OK, I'm so trying that!
