No news to speak of at all

Well, it's been a while since we last posted, so here's a quick update to confirm that nothing exciting has been happening to us. In case you've been on tenterhooks, Will's sleep study was borderline, so they are going to see him again in six weeks. We had a pleasant trip up to Will's mum's last weekend and squeezed in an ice cream on the pier in Cromer. We've each managed to catch up with some friends. I cut back the wisteria today. Will made an Economical Cut and Come Again cake then threw it across the kitchen while removing it from the tin. So August is a slow news month on willslungs too...

    That reminds me of an incident at Cambridge Uni. Will and I would sometimes cook a sweet and sour stirfry to eat together, complete with essential ingredient bean sprouts. One time, while I was finishing dishing up mine, with Will on his way into my room, I heard a crash and a yelp, and on entering my room with my meal in my hand, I was presented with the site of Will's spread across my carpet, plate upsidedown, and Will looking at the whole mess with longing and hungry eyes. Seems nothing changes.

    I have to say, I routinely have the same problem whenever I use a cake tin. Call me an idiot, but there is almost invariably some degree of burning as oven-hot parts of the tin slide down my arm, and a corresponding amount of cake throwing onto the nearest surface. The damage to the cake depends on the distance to the surface, I find. So don't worry about it, Will - it's perfectly normal. (Or, alternatively, maybe both of us should be banned from kitchens...)

    Somehow I never imagined you making a cake Nick, but it is good to find this de-tinning move is not just my problem. Cake tastes fine - just had some at work with a nice cup of tea...mmm

    And Dave, I simply don't remember throwing 'stiry' on your carpet. All I ever remember is you being so annoyed with the Muller fruit corner that came without fruit that you ate it - an act of retribution if ever there was one...

    I remember it well. I think you managed to salvage most of it by scraping it up off the floor. As for the Muller, now that was truly outrageous - I really can't think of anything more annoying - you get all geared up to eat a fruit corner, and then there's no sodding fruit. Not even a trace. Of cause it's only because of the other corner that one doesn't notice when one picks it up, weight-wise. I reckon Muller split the fruit from the yoghurt for this very purpose of deception.

    I'm still trying to work out what an "economical cut and come again cake" is. Am I the only one?!
