We woke up this morning and Mr. Jenner found the toilet in the master bath was not working quite right. Then we found a significant lack of water pressure in the kitchen sinks. Oh glorious day. What fun what fun. I was going to wash my hair this morning. Plans have been changed. I am going to have to rock my dirty hair awhile longer. (the dried spit-up adds a touch of glamour)
I called up the Water company and it seems a water main broke. Most unpleasant but at least they are attending to it. Things aren't going well for the water company. Last week another main broke and there was a fair amount of flooding downtown.

I think all I can do today is watch Cary Grant movies and eat biscuits. There will also be several games of peek-a-boo and conversations about how Mummy doesn't want her lips pulled off.

I started reading Bay of Noon by Shirley Hazzard. I love how she writes. Her descriptions are sometimes quite simple but there is such a lush undertone to them that makes it seem more like a painting.

The real question is are you having British biscuits (aka cookies) or American biscuits (dripping with jam and butter, all melted a gooey, mixed in with fluffy goodness)?

In my new issue of Saveur there is a recipe for Eight-Layer Chocolate-Peanut Butter cake, and I immediately thought of you. :-)

That sounds like fun, though I live with someone who doesn't understand the love of peanut butter -especially with chocolate, Weird, I know.
