Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens

Some of my favourite things at the moment are...

Lovely 1972 edition of the Australian Women's Weekly 100 Favourite Cakes Cookbook picked up today at the op-shop for 50 cents! Full of all the cakes I dreamed about when I was a child. Swiss Roll, Ginger Fluff Sponge, Rainbow Cake, Teacake... I could actually eat just the picture of the Simnel cake above. We had a lovely recipe card index at home full of very pretty pictures of cakes and biscuits and so on and I would beg my mother to make some of these things, little realising or thinking how complex and time consuming some of the recipes actually were. When that didn't work, I would take the card in question to my grandma. I found one of the recipes hidden at the back of her kitchen cupboards recently.

Reading a bio of David Bowie and listening to his CDs simultaneously. What a strange and interesting man he seems to be.

Our local Japanese takeaway has opened a restaurant section. We had sushi there last week and discovered...green tea cheesecake. Oh my.

Having a serious 80s overload on Youtube...Wham's "Last Christmas" - it's cheese but such endearing cheese.

Watching the by-turns poignant and hilarious Getting On on tv. Season now sadly finished!
