Usually Tuesday is my day for domestic chores, but because I’m seeing clients I can’t fit in anywhere else tomorrow, I shifted it all to today, where happily I had a big gap just begging to be filled with the floury fun of baking.

Sadly, one of the things I made was a really, really bad cake. After tinkering around with the same recipe a couple of weeks ago, I decided to make the apple and chocolate cake again. I didn’t have any ground nuts to put in, so I just went with the original recipe, but neglected to add the second raising agent, so I’ve been left with a cake that’s super flat. Miss M described it as “like a pancake, but not as delicious”. I couldn’t disagree. Luckily the bread I made worked beautifully, so at least there’s an upside.

Today’s been a big day of listing things on eBay. I cleaned out cupboards yesterday and found the most surprising array of things like antique knives, heaps of vintage crockery and various other things hopefully people will want to buy.

On Thursday I’m having a phone meeting with my potential business mentor. How nerve wracking! I have to fill in a business diagnostic before the meeting - four simple questions which are … exceptionally complex.

We’re babysitting a couple of Miss M’s friends while their parents are out dancing, so I’m going to use the time to wash the millions of dishes which are the byproduct of mass baking. My idea is to be able to start the day super organised tomorrow - maybe it’ll impress the business mentor!

Today I’m loving: full house at yoga!
