3 bars that weighted 850g. They are intimidating :)
2.5kg of chocolate FTW

Our landlord over the weekend replaced our front door with a new style that rather than having two locks, A deadbolt and a round knob with lock now has a deadbolt and a press to open handle with no lock in it. 1/4

I think 1 of our cats (Bandit) has turned into a vampire.
He sleeps all day (and most of the night too. he's a cat!)
and he's started walking up me whenever i'm sitting or lying down until he is nose to nose with me then dives towards my neck trying to bite me

#RecipeOfTheDay is Bara Brith, that wonderful Welsh fruit-speckled tea bread, which I recommend eating so thickly spread with butter you can see your teeth marks in it when you take a bite (what the Danes refer to as tandsmør)! www.nigella.com/recipes/bara...
Bara Brith
I have a particular fondness for Bara Brith, the traditional Welsh fruit-speckled tea bread. My late sister Thomasina lived and worked in Wales, and my first taste of it came courtesy of her next door...
