Last week was the school summer show which last year, you may remember, was quite disastrous for me. This year I entered one cake only - the classic Victoria Sponge.
I'd had a very busy week and we had visitors so I couldn't take as much care as I might have liked. Nevertheless, I came away with a very respectable second place! First prize was awarded to one of the school teachers - need I say more?
Thank you so much for asking about my new job, at last. It's been a great success so far. I'm doing lots of writing - publicity, press releases and website content. The graphic designer rather pompously told me that he had done all the hard work designing a template and all I had to do was 'colour it in'. He also cautioned me against including 'huge chunks of copy' that people wouldn't want to read - bastard!
Apart from that it really is very satisfying, and my work thus far has been well received. The down side is that domestically, things have spiralled out of control. The kitchen looks like a bomb site, I haven't done a proper grocery shop for weeks, the washing and ironing is piled up in huge bundles (don't tell me not to bother with ironing - I can't bear crinkles) and I seem to forget something crucial for one of the children every day. I am flying by the seat of my pants. Frankly, I don't know how other girls manage!
Anyway, that's all for now dear. I hope to see you in the summer.
