My poor old swiffer gave up the ghost the other day. I have had it since they first came out, so it has earned its keep!!
I made dd a birthday cake. However mine isn't as fancy as when she decorates cakes. Mine was a packet brownie mix, with store bought frosting to go on the top. Her "pet" name is Cons, that isn't her real name.
Managed to get some more jobs done in the garden, including planting some more spring bulbs. Fingers crossed the squirrels and the mice don't eat them all!!

Happy BDay to your Cons!
Well, you've inspired me. Now I'll have to put up a picture of my new mop. The older we get the more we appreciate these plain things! LOL
Liz, freezing in the Republic, again!
The cake looks good Gill, I'll bet it was delicious. Hope your bulbs survive the squirrels and give you some lovely spring colour.
Yummy - Icing looks scrumptious!
The squirrels haven't touched our bulbs at all.Do you have red or grey squirrels? We just have red ones here.

One of the reasons that we moved to the small town that we are in was to escape the "living in each other's pockets" feeling of the city. We do not have a huge property, just a nice sized yard of a house built in the 1960's. We could never have afforded such a property in the city.
Lovely cake Gill and happy birthday to your daughter : )
You did a great job of jazzing up the cake, it looks great!
I have got to get a new swiffer mop also, I've had mine for a long time so its does not owe me anything.
Your cake looks really yummy.

Hbty,hbty, hbddd,hbty!
I think you decorate cakes (brownies) way better than I do. :) Yummy looking Too bad about the Swifter! Luckily the new one suits your height though!
Gill,
What broke on the old swiffer?
I don't own one but have something similar to it for cleaning our hardwood floors with a removable mirco cloth for easy washing. It's a great product, it really disappointment's me that we have to throw away so many products that don't withstand the test of time.
Lovely cake and I bet it tasted great.
Greek food I just love. We don't have any restaurants here that can compare so it's make it yourself or travel back to T.O. on vacation and visit them like crazy.
I love Greek food!! All of it! I am certain there was a Greek in my lineage somewhere. I walked into a Greek restaurant once, the owner thought I was his nephew!! lol

What a yummy looking cake! I love how you used all kinds of different colored icing!
Good luck with the bulbs, my mom gave up planting them ages ago because the squirrels were always getting hers, but we are in a much more urban area so they had less 'natural' stuff to feed on.
Hi Gill!! Thanks for the mention on your blog--I envy that you don't have to worry about your property changing. We knew when we moved here that this might happen, but hoped that it would be later rather than sooner. Even if we don't manage to get the extra land, we'll still have a nice place to call home, it will just have to be shared and I may be eating a lot of cake if that happens--I so hope it doesn't!
Gill, you can stop the squirrels getting to your bulbs by sprinkling blood meal all around the soil (and mix some in to the soil too).
