Last night I made another chocolate cake. This time it wasn’t quite as impressive, looks wise, to the birthday cake I made, nor is it as big, but boy is it yummy! A nice little Sezzy-sized loaf-sized bundle of yumminess. I’m liking this baking lark now that I have the food processor to mix, and a dishwasher to clean everything afterwards!
The reason I baked the cake was because I had a friend over today. She’s German and a retired teacher, and helped me lots through my final year of German studies, mostly ironing out a few grammatical problems I had. I haven’t seen her for a while so I thought the cake would be a nice gesture. It went down really well, and it’s even better than my last chocolate cake attempt! I’ve actually just polished off the second slice today (I don’t think it’s going to last very long!). Anyway, not only was the cake a success, but we spoke the entire time – 2 hours – in German. That’s the first time I’ve actually spoken German like that since last year, and I was so pleased when she said as she was leaving that my German had remained good, that I seemed far more confident with it, and that it was good I understood her the entire time. Yay!
Oh and I saw Mr Good-looking Neighbour Man last night too again. He’d forgotten his key (again!) and remembered it was me who let him in before. There’s a small chance I might see him Sunday, if he needs a new copy of the main entrance door key, as his seems to be duff anyway. Still no idea if he’s single, but either way, it’s nice to talk to a neighbour here. Meeting neighbours is a chance affair here, and it’s only the third time I’ve actually stopped and spoken to a neighbour. I’m not complaining, I like the quiet and I’m a bit of a loner at times. But company is nice at times.
I also registered with a knitting and crocheting site today, in readiness for starting to knit. It’s a huge site, and I think I’ll be asking my friend who recommended it to me a lot of questions!
Time to rest now.
