60-A-Day Cough

Most of the illnesses seem to have faded away now, but I still have a cough that sounds like it is has been sponsored by John Player Special (Number 666).

The temperature will go above zero tomorrow; after two weeks of -20ºC at night and snow everywhere, I am beyond ready for the melting. It has been such a long time since I have seen grass.

Anyway, with things thawing out, I have to start thinking about the rest of the month and also next month…which means it is time to begin planning for Maeryn’s birthday cake! I don’t have much to go on, but our enthusiastic cake expert has demanded “red cake”. Which means this technique will probably be involved at some point but beyond that, I am still trying to think of everything from shape to flavour…still, over a month to go right now.

More exciting updates next week!
