Well, that was quick. I read about a petition to ask the government to cancel Donald Trump's proposed visit to the UK when it was fresh up (well, it had been online for twenty minutes or so, and reached the necessary 100,000 signatures by then). I think it's well on the way to a million now... and the evening news on Radio 4 was full of discussion of Should The Government Cancel? How? Etc?
Personally, I'd rather he came. I'd be there with a rude sign to stand between him and Buck House, as would half the country. Beast has also expressed interest in marching to protest the very existence of Trump.

I made two cakes this weekend. One, a reward for Tristan's suggestion which led to us being able to install the giant shower tray in the space fit only for a small shower tray. It was a chocolate sponge of some sort, but came out very thin and, due perhaps to the vagaries of the oven, perhaps a little overcooked. But there was some of FIL's excellent damson jam and some whipped cream in it, so it was probably okay. Took it to Bunnyhold in the evening and spent a couple of hours there stroking Bun's more sociable cat and watching a film.
Today I made Nigella Lawson's Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake, which is rather better, being nicely moist and squidgy and tasty. Even if the recipe did call for a cup of butter.

Also, finished my seamless sweater, with a rather smart V-neck. It is purple and snuggly. Go me.

Man, I remember the uproar when our PM put his arm around the Queen. I say let him come. Maybe she will punch a Nazi. I mean, if anyone in your country gets to punch a Nazi, the glorious leader of our Commonwealth who goddamnwell fought Nazis should be that person.
