5 years Old!

Tuesday dawns and Bella is five years old wow how time does fly. This Birthday was the highlight of the week of course. We telephoned a somewhat overwhelmed sounding wee girl around about 0745h and sang Happy Birthday! before she left for school.
She spent a lovely day with her mum and dad--lunch at the mosque then onto the rides on Princes St.
Graham, Ruaridh and I went over to join the family and Granny K for the Family Birthday Meal! A Fry Up--which was delicious then the singing of Happy Birthday as a lovely Birthday cake appeared. Bella you are a Star Happy Birthday to you:)
After all this excitment the rest of the week for G and moi was quiet.
Monday on the morning constitutional saw that the meadowland pond was part frozen. Spent the afternoon with Miss B, made an Apple Kuchen Cake for her to take to school for the Birthday Celebrations there on Tuesday, Bella made her own cake from flour, sugar and water looked delicious--a fun time.
Wednesday usual day well almost--gave the windows a thrill and cleaned them! Baked and my first 'blipfoto' calender arrived it is for the memsahib. It is really lovely great to see photo's one has taken in print!
Thursday on the morning constitutional disturbed a heron by the meadowland pond, by the time I had got my iPhone camera organised it was way up in the sky--freedom!
Made up the parcel for the passing the parcel game at Bella's Birthday Party on Saturday!
Friday took the Wonder Dog to the shore and beach--freezing! Didn't stop him from rushing into the sea after shells brrrr.
Over to see the girls Layla very busy baking for the party, Bella did an ace job of cutting out the special biscuits for the 'do'!
Lie in Saturday morning then Graham made a lovely treat for breakfast in bed bruschetta with delicious coffee, yummy!
Walk in the woods over to the supermarket as Graham was going to make a Pannetone and he required some goodies. It was delicious BTW.
Sunday another lie in toasted Pannetone and coffee this morning!
Down to the shore Ruaridh, he had a great play with a Cocker Spaniel. Back home hot chocolate with rum and cheese on toast! I had to much rum methinks--made a total mess of my peasant bread recipe, read it wrong and left out three cups of flour!
Then my gingerbread had a depression in the centre, although the skewer came out clean when I cut the cake, it was not baked through in the middle! Not My Day!
