I seem to have been doing a lot lately without seeming to be getting anywhere terribly interesting. My kitchen sink was in a very bad state of repair and the tap scarcely worked at all; it had to be replaced. That has now been done but clearing out the cupboards beneath and around it was an embarassingly disgusting thing to have to do. Anyway, on a more positive note kitchenwise, I have just baked a sponge cake and made some lemon butter icing for it, too.

I recently watched the Julie and Julia film again. For better or for worse, I have ordered Julia Childs The Mastery of French Cooking. I saw a report on the web that the latest edition comes in two parts in a boxed set and that the measurements have been converted to Imperial. I just love ounces, pints, feet and inches.
My piano playing seems to be at a low ebb, although I am still playing my Second Life gigs. I had a lot of technical problems last night. That is always frustrating and I get worried in case the problems repeat frequently.
I was making progress with the digital drawings to illustrate Part One of my autiobiography but somehow that has stalled. Maybe I just have too many things I want to do.
I have to go pick somebody up from the airport in a few minutes, so I will have to say goodbye for now, my dear blogophiles. Talk to you later.
