So, not a ‘key’ worker then (he is far too clever to actually say it though, just implied) and he had no work today, and it looks like no work tomorrow either…
I had a full working day, a five hour skype ‘revise a document together’ session, which was actually more enjoyable than it sounds (no, really).
The key thing, is that I have not had any cake today. I have cake, it is the orange cake in the cakes section. It was an experimental recipe as most of mine are. I often find that recipes are a bit weak on the amount of flavour/filling front. Not enough chocolate, a mere sprinkling of raisins, or I have to make double the sauce to even come close to having enough for a proper tasty coating. Hence, my orange cake has both oranges and orange essence in the sponge. It has both lemon and orange zest in the buttercream…and…a sticky orange glaze painted between the layers and orange zest on top. For me though, it is still not orangey enough. I think I need to look into making orange sherbert…maybe that will satisfy my desire for orange zing!
He has been largely absent from my world today, keeping his distance around the house. I did take a little legal advice, he has no legal right to stay here…but then I knew that, and as the lawyer said to me, there is a difference between law and ethics…
