National Chocolate Cake Day

Never heard of it before, I think it might be American but gave me an excuse to try my new mixer.
Busy few days, my neighbour's back in hospital so I took her husband yesterday and stayed to visit. I think she thought no one was going, thanks to terrible traffic and not being able to park it took us 50 minutes to get there. She looks so much better than last week though and her feisty spirit hasn't dimmed, she's keeping the nurses on their toes! Long rainy journey home then behind a crash on the ring road. Bit of a strange one, car stopped in middle lane even though all traffic had moved on, then car behind goes into the back, both drivers at fault really. Got home to find my slow cooker wasn't heating properly and the stew wasn't cooked, so much for being organised before I left.
