You mean we are almost at 2013?

It's December! And it is almost Xmas!! When did that happen? Is it just me, or does time seem to go faster and faster every year? I still remember, as a kid, that a year took FOREVER to go by :-p.

So, what's up folks? Well, to be honest, not a "lot". Life these last few weeks has been a cycle of :

- Exercising, INTENSE exercising!!
- Movies with sister and her two boys (Life of Pi, Rise of the Guardians, The Hobbit)
- Baking, baking, more baking
- Xmas shopping, especially for new tree, and then decorating said tree (and the house)
- Get togethers with wonderful friends
- Spending time with family
- Back into reading books on a daily basis again :-)

So, what can I say? Nope, no excitement as such but definitely keeping myself busy.

Today I just made 2 large apple crumble tarts for a friend for tomorrow... and the next few days will also be full of baking:-

- for tomorrow, for a friends Xmas party, 3 large trays of sticky rolls :-)
- for Saturday, when we are having an Xmas party for all church members in the area, 1 large tray of chocolate ginger caramel cake
- for Xmas Eve (which is when we have our family dinner): Fraisier (Strawberry shortcake), Apple Crumble tart, and Chocolate Creme Brulee
- for Xmas Day, tea time, when some friends are coming over: Banoffee, Swiss roll (with fresh cream and diced peach filling), SCONES, soft bake chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate cake.
- for New Years Eve I have an order of 2 large chocolate cakes, with raspberry coulis.

Hmmmm, think that will be enough?

And that's it folks! Sorry for such a short post, but right now I lack the energy and enthusiasm to do anything longer.... so, till next time, have a good day, every day!

PS: If the world does not end tomorrow, have a good life :-D
