Need Sugar!

Am continuing my experiments in attempting to take interesting photographs of everyday objects. This evening it was the turn of the Golden Syrup tin..another iconic design! This was a tricky one to photograph as the tin is metallic and therefore highly reflective...much fiddling was involved!

Anyway, this afternoon, got the tool box out and attempted to change the broken lock on the back gate.. thought it was all going rather well until Mr M pointed out, in his best, super-smug, isn't-it-obvious, that-would-have-been-the-first-thing-I-would-have-checked voice that I had failed to line the lock up with the hole for the key which means you can't now actually get the key into the lock. The whole bloomin' thing will have to come off again tomorrow to be redone.

Stoopid DIY - why is nothing ever straight forward?

Anyway, craving sugar something rotten this evening. No chocolate in the house. Didn't quite resort to eating golden syrup straight out of the tin but did have a few spoons of dried ovaltine .. which is sort of like eating chocolate... does the job in an emergency, anyway :-)
