Mum sounded a touch 'off' on #109 - she'd been put back on oxygen and her BP was low; and was to be sent for a chest x-ray. She is a martyr to chest infections, and had been held back a day or two for the same on admission, so not necessarily unexpected

The day was work interspersed by son's nets, and the anticipation of a two-day mini round robin among the members, 6 squads, nine-a-side, to take place on #110 and #111, players sanitise, the ball wiped every six overs, the non-striker...

Cake was a massive hit. I've made it on multiple occasions but the "cream the butter and sugars" method has a clear advantage over the "all in".

Other than that, Mrs C's onsite present was not to be mithered all day, watch Netflix and be fed. Level up. We'll do something further into summer when we're less restricted.

Busy, busy, so am on catch-up. Mrs C's birthday on #106 so I decided that I would make a cake. I have a cracking recipe which makes a firm unit ripe for carving, and it came out the best ever. I have become Cake Boss.

Slept badly, second night inside a week, no real reason but it explains why this entry is two days after the event and a day late.

Went to nets, and the planned tournament is now scheduled for the weekend and in two weeks to finish. The club has unsurprisingly...
