So we have been eating a lot of cake around these parts of the woods recently. My grandpa's 90th birthday is today. I am pretty impressed, to be honest, and hope I am still alive and kicking at 90 years old to ingest as much cake as him. I have included some pictures of said cakes (that's right, bitches, plural).
I also had the viewing pleasure of watching The Sound of Music yesterday and holy crap, that movie is awesome. My expectations were of something too sickly for my tastes but I was so wrong, friends, because that movie is fairly perfect. I can't stop singing the songs, particularly Eldeweiss (don't even get me started on Christopher Plummer. He is so handsome) and My Favourite Things and The Lonely Goatherd (including yodelling, I think I might be a natural). I think the second part really shocked me as I wasn't expecting content like that.
My brother went to Kenya Sunday morning (3am morning call and everything).
A couple of weeks, I tried to make one of my half-cardigans smaller by sewing the inside seams. It resulted in a lot of puckering around the armpit. It wasn't really noticeable (except when I lifted my arm but how often do I do that except when I desire to expose people to my underarm stench?) but then I was watching Homeland yesterday night and the wife (the alien from V) was wearing a similar cardigan except it fit her so nicely that I had sudden inspiration to perfect my half-cardigan. Cue an email to Lizzie of Cotton & Curls (http://cottonandcurls.blogspot.com.au/) asking her what to do. She replied within nine hours. It was pretty majestic. I trust her enough to make some crucial cuts into my half-cardigan.
Anyway, some pictures to savour:

Treasure mudcake from the Cheesecake Shop, worth the pretty penny.
Yeah, I picked up this avocado from the side of the road while on morning walk with Little Mishelle. Suck it, Little Mishelle who had too much pride to pick one up, because it was edible and derriciousJ

I love The Sound of Music too! Edelweiss slays me. And I always sing to Do Re Mi.

Went to the library today, could not see The Sound of Music. Sadness ensues.
