...Custard Cream

So today, I have the day to myself.

It's freezing outside, and all I want to do, is curl up with my book, a cuppa, and a little stack of these badboys. (I never said I was rock n roll..)

Here's to you custard cream. With your elaborate baroque design, and your custard fondant centre. 

And here's to days when you get to stay in the warm, and be lazy.

I just ate four...

..And oh my, are you in for a treat. Yes. Yes, you are.

I found these lovely custard cream cushions while I was at it, (which should live on my sofa) and THIS giant custard cream on Pimp that Snack while I was at it.

My work here is done. :)

 ..Record Player Clock.

I made this record player clock after buying a vintage portable record player for a billy bargain price on ebay.
My friend Miranda came over for a cuppa one morning a while ago, and found me surrounded by bits of record player guts and tools in the kitchen, so rolled her sleeves up and got stuck in, helping me demolish the insides of the record player, and even brandishing a hacksaw in the name of retro chic.
That's friendship. ; )
And that, my friends, is how you make a record player clock. With Tea. And a Hacksaw.

(Fact Fans. The record on the player is John Lennon, Imagine, as that's what was playing when Dylan Alfie came into the world and I love it.)
