Yesterday I had my first social gathering in this house. It was a small one but lots of laughter. My friends gave me a beautiful newt scarf (well actually it has dogs on it). I bought a Percy pig birthday cake which I have started for breakfast.

Belated happy birthday wishes hp! Hope you enjoyed your pigcake

I'm loving today's newts already. My newt will be singing in a joint choir event this evening, in Marlborough. I've sung in many choir concerts over the years but never a joint one with another choir. There will be over 100 of us - hope it sounds as good as it should! A minor newt will be discovering inner Marlborough and finding a carpark.

We had brownies for breakfast today! Our friend sent some over from France for Kev's birthday. We've put the others in the freezer or we will *have* to eat them all :-)

I'd love to see a badger!

My newts for today were going to Homerton for the first time (so far east for this West London girl!) and meeting up with a ring maker who's going to make me a ring. I've chosen the design and the stone and it should be ready in 3-4 weeks :-)

LN, that sounds lovely!

My newt today is a bit odd. I'm sick of wearing trousers (uniform for work and jeans at home). So today I've been wearing a 50s style cocktail type dress. Just in the house and mooching about. Why wait for *best* ?

B - I'm glad I wasn't the only one having a cake based breakfast. My cake has 12 portions- I might need to give some away.

LN- a custom ring is rather exciting :)

I have a newt today that I hardly dare admit.
I bought a newspaper today that I normally would not buy under any circumstances. We have a relative in her 90s who likes this particular paper 'Only because the TV guide is so good dear, I know it's a dreadful rag otherwise....' ;-) but she has been poorly today so I agreed to buy said publication for J to deliver to her tomorrow. Luckily I was able to buy a Guardian at the same time to cover it up and obviously I went to a large supermarket in Ipswich rather than our local shop to ensure I didn't meet anyone I knew... :-o

Oh Baroness how absolutely APPALLING for you. You have my every sympathy. I refuse to even look at the website - and sometimes it's damned difficult to avoid - never mind sully the purity of my soul by reading or - heaven forfend -purchasing the wretched publication.

I assume you mean the paper that dare not breath its name but is neither the Sun not the Mirror.

You win today's Grace Under Pressure, Kindness Above All Things medal. (GupKaat)
