I dropped by the butchers today to ask if they’d liked the cake. They had; yer man who’d asked for it said it had been devoured and they’d all but eaten the tin. Fighting each other off, they were, he said, and he said to the fellow who was getting me my order, “This is the lady who brought the cake!” And the fellow’s eyes got wide and he said, “It was gorgeous!” So that was great fun.

It is five hours to the book launch/signing. I have baked lemon cupcakes, brownie cupcakes, and about fourteen dozen cookies, with more to go.
