Weekly report 12/52

Brownies

This week, the best thing that happened the only thing I can remember was that Katy, my aunt, came to stay for a bit. We had a great time walking around Hackney. We made brownies.

Apple cake

This week:

  • I made a very delicious apple and lemon cake for mother’s day, and my mother came over and we ate some of it.
  • And so on…

I only took one decent picture this week, so it’s POTW by default.

My week beats your year

This week:

  • I found a not-insignificant amount of cash blowing around in the street, and picked it up. I took it to the nearest police station, and handed it over. Everyone I have told says that I did the right thing, but that I’m significantly unlikely to see it again, as the police are all corrupt and they’ll miraculously ‘find’ it within the four weeks allowed before I can claim it. It’d be alright if some of the people who told me this weren’t in a good position to know what they’re talking about. We’ll find out in four weeks.
  • Work was, and continues to be, interesting.
  • I saw the author of Information is Beautiful do a talk, and it was interesting, but left me with a strange feeling… I bought the book and the feeling grew… I’ll write something about it sometime soon.
  • I made a new kind of bread. Bread rolls, done by using cutting out circles of dough rolled out flat… a bit like making biscuits. It’s brilliant.
  • I ran over something in the street and managed to do a healthy amount of damage to my Brompton… actually, about the same amount of damage as would be paid for by the money I found in the street…re
