This morning was an early start necessitating two car trips to church to deliver the boxes of books, bric-a-brac, and so forth for the church Spring Fayre. Even with the benefits of a lift at home, the energy expended in moving the boxes from a legal parking space (the parking wardens were out at 7:30) justified, in my opinion, a trip to the independent coffee house for a take out skinny-skinny latte and 'quelquechose a manger.' Checking out what was on offer I saw something called a 'tournade au choclat' - basically a twist of puff pastry with chocolate chips and gloopy stuff down the middle (tastes way better than it sounds). The man repeating my order back to me said 'a tournade or chocolate - or "one of them chocolate twist thingies" as some people say'. Indeed.
Last night was spent baking cookies on behalf of Millie Mole. It is quite problematic sharing your life with a fur fabric creature as suddenly they start to dictate your actions (I think there is a nice place for people so affected where the staff wear white coats and the doors are incredibly tricky to open from the inside...). Anyway, Millie Mole's Cookies are now made and almost ready to go on sale. Plagiarism? Nah. Not much.
Hopefully lots of people will come along tomorrow to buy all the stuff we have on offer, both raising some money for the (re-)development fund and allowing us to get to know our neighbours better. Meantime I better do something a little more overtly ministerial than talking about food.
