Cake adventure etc.

Some people seem able to theme their posts, so that everything is roughly coherent. I do not have that skill, so instead just throw random pieces of information together to see what happens.

We went into town today to put down a deposit for our wedding cake and buy some cupcakes for testing. Unfortunately another customer bought the last chocolate cupcake, but vanilla with a jam centre was a great second best. R had the idea that we could get mini-figures of the Fellowship and have them sunk slightly into the icing (apart from Legolas). I really liked the idea and the person we spoke to who does the wedding cakes seemed excited by it too, so we might have that as a little nod to Tolkien at our not-really-themed wedding.

I bought some thigh-high socks from Snag Tights recently, on the idea that wearing really long socks would be a cheaper way of keeping myself a bit warmer than putting the heating on any more than it already is, and they're really soft and comfy. I wish I was comfortable with a more feminine gender presentation because they have inclusive sizing (up to UK 36) and the quality of their stuff seems consistently pretty high.

There was a mysterious third thing I was going to mention, but it's so mysterious that it's vanished from my mind entirely. Whatever it is, it'll wait.
