At breakfast I was presented with a selection of gifts from my favourite fair trade shop, Ten Thousand Villages, so that was very lovely.
The Man had taken the day off work because we planned to go on a family outing, but the weather was so atrocious we decided to postpone it. So later in the day I took myself off shopping while the Man stayed at home and got beaten at Scrabble.
Among other places I called in at L.L.Bean (sports goods and casualwear) because they had a sale on. My, the floorwalkers there are attentive! It was like being surrounded by very polite gnats. But after three hours attempting to shop there and elsewhere I had nothing to show except a reusable water bottle and some pyjama bottoms. Ah well. Shopping's not my best sport.
When I got home I could smell a cake baking in the oven - and there I'd been thinking I'd have to make my own. We decorated it together, what d'you think? It tasted good - very light. It would definitely have been a worthy contender at Linton & District Annual Garden Show.
Nice cake!

From what you say, umberellas would be more appropriate than parasols!
