Saturday Morning

By 10:30 am this morning, I had already baked a cake, ate some cake, went down to the library and back home again.
It was my mum's birthday yesterday.
So I baked an upside-down pineapple cake with the help of my brother.
I tried to make a caramel topping, but burnt the sugar.
I made another caramel topping, by melting the butter in the microwave.
It was a pool of oil. I stirred the sugar in.
I improvised and poured some honey everywhere, onto the pineapple, the 'caramel', the cake mix.
It was very nice.
I will put it on the pudding leader board (on the tab above).

On my way down to the library there was couple with a poodle having a very loud rant with another man about prime ministers and stuff.
I didn't really know what they were talking about.
Just stuff about 'he wasn't even elected', and 'just sits there all day and people are fighting'......
Then I walked past and they all said 'morning!' and then a pause.
Pause.
Then they continued to rant.

Carried on walking. Saw a lot of people going to the rugby club. Had a charming conversation with a year 7 kid from my mentoring form (class I help to 'settle in' to school).
It went like this:
Me - 'Rugby?'
Him - 'Yeah.'
Me - 'Have fun.'

Library. There were old people there. And me. But I found the Welsh for beginners stuff. So I queued in the queue with one woman in front of me. And listened to their conversation.
'Hope you have a lovely weekend.'
'It's supposed to rain in the afternoon.'
'Oh no!'

Gah, I like eavesdropping.

And there is my account of a Saturday morning. I feel ill already. I'm never going to wake up so early ever again.

Goodbye

Pudding Leader Board

Okay, I have posted up a pudding leader board, which takes into account the puddings we've had since 3 weeks ago (1 pudding a week). They are rated out of 100.... And I will update it every week/time we have pudding.
So you can visit it with the link below or click 'Pudding Leader Board' on the above bar.

The pudding ritual.

Every Tuesday evening, we have pudding.
Because my dad's home and we have pudding.

So after we finish supper, my brother usually runs off to play on the computer or read some geeky books.
And I would say (loudly) 'SHALL WE HAVE PUDDING NOW?'*
And my mum would say (loudly) 'SHOULDN'T WE GET YOUR BROTHER FIRST?'*
And I would reply (loudly) 'WHY WOULD WE WANT TO DO THAT?'*
And my dad would say (loudly) 'YEAH LETS JUST HAVE PUDDING WITHOUT HIM.'*

*All in Chinese, but translated for better understanding.

My brother would run to the kitchen... 'Did I hear there were pudding?'
And I would say....'Yes it was so delicious, mmm, mmm, mmm,'
And he would sigh exasperatedly
Then we would get the plates, and the pudding, and we would all tuck in to the pudding.


Today the first part happened again, I shouted 'WHY WOULD WE WANT TO GET MY BROTHER TO HAVE PUDDING?'
Then I laughed and said...'We do this every week...
And, I knew this was coming. I really did. I KNEW this was coming...
My mum said 'Maybe you should write it on your blog....
'I knew you were going to say that! I just knew! I was going to say it myself!'
My mum laughed and said 'Maybe you should write that on the blog....'
And I said....'I knew you......
My dad laughed (everything in this involves a lot of laughing)....'This could go on and on....

So, I might go and watch Top Gear later, and I have decided to create a leader board the puddings we've eaten (starting from 3 weeks ago), rating them out of 100.
 Woo!
