Carrot and Walnut Cake

Paula's Birthday Cake.

Well after a lazy day yesterday drinking tea, eating cake and chatting I made up for it today. 
Dog walk first, then I cut the front lawn, time for lunch, followed by helping to wash the car. Then a coffee and cake break whilst we watched Prince Philips funeral. (Paula said it wasn't on as it was a private service, but I said there was no way the BBC wouldn't be in on it and I was right) The queen looked so lonely sat there on her own, this little woman all in black with a black mask on, head bowed in sorrow, it was a sad sight.
Started on the back lawn, I was only going to do one but decided to do both as I could see lots of jobs to do tomorrow. That took me up to nearly 6pm so I made tea, easy tonight, beef-burger sandwich with extra fried onions and topped with a cheese slice and yogurt to follow. Then I sat and read until about 8.15 when we watched a film on TV, so quite a busy day all round.

It's been a lovely day with that slight chill breeze again, but a very changeable sky late afternoon mares tails and mackerel clouds although it has forecast a decent few days.

As the proverb goes, “Mares' tails and mackerel scales make lofty ships to carry low sails.” Together, wispy cirrus clouds resembling horse tails and patchy cirrocumulus signal that a rain storm is on its way.

Still got almost half of the cake left and it tastes pretty good even if I say it myself.
