Saturday Sunshine

Spent most of the day shopping and cooking for celebration of son's 21st, and his friend's 22nd, tomorrow - with the help of 2-yr-old Asha and 21-yr-old son.

Made: Delia's Lemon Meringue Ice Cream; a Chcolate and Raspberry Torte (which has a kilo of dark chocolate and over a kilo of double cream in it); five almond sponges to be made into a strawberry layer cake; and two Apple Tartes. All are family favourites, but never made them all at once before - just that a LOT of people are coming tomorrow.

The weather has been CRAZY - sunbathing-hot in morning, heavy showers with a burst of late afternoon sun resulting in a faint rainbow, and now it is shivery cold. The photo catches the late sunshine coming in the front of the house onto the fireplace I stripped last summer.
