not sure how its happened but another coffee crumble cake is baking in the oven at this very minute! have added a layer of sliced apples ⅔ of the way up, no doubt in my mind they will be at the bottom when its cooked! but never mind, will taste lovely i hope, not sure how long with cake cooking phase will last so am making the most of it!?! i guess when i am fed up with it! this recipe uses a lot of margarine, bought some in the local shop on my back home from town, un loaded the bag and didn't find it there, back to shop! there is was on the counter, un paid for though too!

not long in town, weather ok, bit of sun, warm enough too, i have on a vest t shirt thing and put a thin cardigan thing on top, sounds worse than it looks (i hope!) and i was warm...

cant type for too long today and have only just started, mixing cake i guess not helped...

but want to tell i was like a kid at Christmas this morning! got an email from the library, back in blighty, and i can down load books now! for free, 21 days to read it, 3 at a time if you want! fantastic, i know i have the *100 books* on my DSlite, but they're the classics, which are ok, but good to read fresh new books... this is absolutely fantastic news for someone who reads like crazy!

and Franco just now is killing and being killed by zombies... boys eh! if he could see himself... head down, remote about 6 inches from his face and talking to himself! or maybe me? the music is creepy too, like the music on the movie *28 Days*...

ok amigos, going to start reading a good book, wait for the apple crumble cake, smells good already doesn't it....
