This was the birthday cake that Kirsty (eldest daughter) made for me last Monday. In the shape of a book, with two bookworms and Jasfoup's name on the page. Jasfoup is written correctly, by the way, as in the example at www.jasfoup.comBest of all, it was a sponge cake covered not with icing but with marzipan
Walking today.
You can tell it's August because of the blackberries!
Delicious!
Ripe and sweet and succulent from the cemetery.
I had to take this shot.
I saw it and thought it looked like a seventies picture postcard.
Wish you were here?
And this is what I've been doing all day. Rebuilding the cake maker's PC.
I was swearing a bit. All the software, including Windows, is genuine but would it update? No, is the short answer. I rebuilt from scratch, found all the drivers online, installed a new graphics card, re-installed all her software and it still wouldn't update windows.
At the end of my tether I googled 'windows could not install updates' and came across this handy little tool which fixed everything. Dial-a-fix.

Oh!!!!! The cake is fantastic! What a wonderful thought! Only trouble is - not made for a celiac....sigh.
But ya! I would love to be there - but above ground - not under any of those old stones...:0)
I'm sure the cakemaker will be happy with all you've done. I always am when my 'puter gets fixed and updated.
Not for a celiac, no, alas :(
Kirsty will be happy with the computer - it's now the best in the house - better than mine!
Ah, bless (is that right?!). Anyway, happy belated birthday.
Thanks Chris - She's all grown up and moved away but she still come home for tech support.
What a wonderful cake, did she really make it herself? I couldn't have!
Well done for your heroic efforts with K's pc. Mine's been much better since you spring cleaned it. What a wonder you are!

Kirsty is fantastic at making fancy cakes. She really is a marvel.
She's away for the weekend. She'll get it back on Sunday.
