To everyone who left kind comments.
I am feeling much better now. I have been given a new medication to try which I have to take daily in an attempt to prevent me getting so many migraines. The downside is that it takes at least 28 days to build up in the system.
Let’s hope this does the trick….
Today is Ed’s Birthday. I will be gallant and not let on how old he is. I am only six weeks younger so if I do, you will all know how old I am too.. so we will keep this a secret. But let us just say that you are only as old as you feel (which means on recent form, I must be 96!) We have been out for a lovely lunch to our local Italian favourite.. because of the snow we were their only customers today…..seemed funny having the whole restaurant to ourselves. We would have usually had a little “siesta” when we returned home but the teens were home because they shut the School early today because of the snow and daughter wanted to make her daddy a Birthday cake. Now how do to you keep that a secret when the whole house now has the gorgeous aroma of baking chocolate cake permeating through the whole house… so i will have to go now as the not so secret cake will need to come out of the oven to cool before it is decorated.
COme back later for a slice will you? The party starts at 7.00pm!
Happy Birthday darling Ed. x x x
Later - this is the cake…… chocolate orange cake decorated with white and dark chocolate, sprinkled with flake! Who could resist……

IT WAS YUMMY!!!
There is still some left if you would like some

I love that you saved us each a slice of that decadent cake. Wish you weren’t feeling so badly. You don’t need the migrains in addition to the thyroid problem/s.
A very HAPPY Birthday season to both Ed and yourself.

Mmmmm looks delish. Did you make it? If you did, wouldn’t mind having the recipe in place of the slice of cake
