lunching lady
I have been a lunching lady today, and met Mrs Carrot Cake and Master Carrot Cake the younger today for a little light shopping and lunch. I've never really got to know her children very well, but from what I've seen they are gorgeous and a real credit to their parents.
We stopped for coffee and Mrs CC had some Earl Grey tea. Master CC (he's not yet 3) just loved the discarded teabag and asked to play with it. Mrs CC was the voice of reason, explaining why it wasn't a great thing to play with, and trying to divert him. He gave her a pained look, and said with some passion, 'But mummy, I need it!' I have to say I found this very funny, it wasn't a case of want, but need. What kind of sick world do we live in when the only thing a toddler needs is a manky old teabag?
Mrs CC is a litle more used to this than me, but I think was still quite amused by her adorable son. I'm not sure how amused she was when my first words to him were 'I'm going to blog about you'. I do applaud his simple tastes though, I don't think I really needed another Le Creuset pot, even at a knockdown price, or the cute little top from Zara.
I also found out that Mrs CC checked the blog before she came out and had read about my encounter with lightning. She was pretty well up to date on my less than diverting life, which didn't affect our ability to chat for hours, but pretty well screwed up my 'I've got to tell you about...' part of the conversation. This must be such a relief to my friends, they no longer have to listen as I act out the flash, the 'zzzz', the thunder and the impact on me for at least 30 minutes, or until I realise they've fallen asleep! I now realise the true usefullness of blogging. Now the big Question is, Mrs CC, when are you going to get yours?

Yum! Le Creuset. Not only are they beutiful and expensive, but they help you build your muscles while you use them. They are fiendishly expensive here, and I covet mine (both gifts, bless)wholeheartedly.
I'm sure I shall be punished for this coveting in my next life.

They're pretty dear here too. I got a pot with a lid which also doubles as an ommelette pan (we laready have an ommelette pan, but what the hell) for £36, which was half price. I was vry happy, as it will replace one of the looky likey pans we got very cheaply at IKEA. Actually the pans we got there are excellent, and I haven't seen them since, but you can definitely see the difference in the quality-they seem to cook the same though.
