cakes and swans

Tonight, in celebration of my incredible talent of cramming too much in too little time and coming out alive (3 essays and a photo project project in central london handed in, 2 nights in cambridge with a friend, having my cousin stay for 2 nights, CU, lectures, seminars, church twice, all in the space of 5 days) I turned to mother earth with my housemate Laurel.

We cooked fairy cakes tonight. The icing was a little on the runny side and we didn't let them cool properly before applying. The sweety stars thus floated out of their synchronised patterns rather bizarrely.

Once the culinary delights were completed we turned to the oriental craft of origamy. Inspired by a birthday present I bought (my seemingly adopted brother) David I think i've found a new hobby; just to keep me amused when I've nothing to do. 7 swans later we felt suitably creative and orientalised. I just need to learn to make something more than swans now.
