Nothing to report

I was considering checking out Destiny in their heartland, but it turned out that my dad’s birthday was on Sunday, and it seemed rude to ask for a ride into town… Oh well.

I made a birthday cake. A sugar-free cake. Well, cane sugar free. It had fruit - banana, apple and orange - and a wee bit of honey. And pumpkin, sunflower and poppy seeds, sultanas, currants, apricot, ground almond, barley flour, and coconut. The sugar-freeness was selfishly motivated; I didn’t want to make a cake that I couldn’t eat. Anyway, my grandparents were here for dinner, and they can’t stay up late, so I made the cake in a bit of the rush. Took it out of the oven, stuck some candles in, went to get matches… and when I got back the candles had all fallen over. I couldn’t work out why at first. Then I realised they had completely melted. The cake was too hot. We had to cut around the holes where the candles used to be because there was wax all through those parts of the cake. Oh well. It tasted pretty good.

And… I’m really tired. Fotoblog now, so my blog doesn’t keep doing that thing it does. Content tomorrow. Maybe. If I’m not sick AND I’ve finished an essay. Or maybe I’ll just post an essay.

Hey look, it’s spring here! (here is Rotorua - don’t tend to get so many blossoms and prancing lambs in wellyville).

See that deck up there to the right? That’s part of my family home. Yeah, it’s pretty nice to be hanging out here.

More spring

This is what happens if you’re bored in a car at night. With a camera.

I had a dream that I was pregnant and I gave birth to a kitten... and then I kept almost dropping it over the balcony. And my friends all rejected me because they thought that it meant that I had slept with a snake. But I didn’t care, because I loved my little cat. Which occasionally morphed into a human baby.

(When I was studying stuff to do with Orpheus I read somewhere that people used to believe women could be impregnated by snakes. I guess it stuck in my head!)
