Hello World of Blogging.

Hello Readers of Amruni's blog.

Amruni would like me to point out that this is not her writing, but me, as she thinks I will write things that will make her sound like a freak. So, for clarity, I am Rachel, and she has kindly allowed me access to her blog. Well, she hasn't really but I'm on her laptop and it logs in automatically. Now I'm actually writing a blog post, I have no idea what to write about. I could write about clouds, but I doubt anyone is interested. Well, people might be interested in looking at pretty clouds, but obviously not many people are interested in knowing their names. Surely clouds want people to know their names? That is, if the names that we give them are their true names. Would it be better for a cloud to be known by a name that wasn't its own, or should a cloud just be happy that anyone bothers to name it?Of course, the entire concept that inanimate objects have true names is stolen from Eragon, but it does make sense. If one assumes that souls make sense. Which as I am no longer a true atheist, I can.  A cloud cannot be classified as an object though. The word 'object' implies something permanent. A cloud dissipates so quickly that it's more of a thing: the average life of a cloud is ten minutes. But then one thinks that a pavement is not an object, and that is undoubtedly a permanent thing. As is a nose. But if one tries to call a nose an object, it sounds strangely wrong. Maybe that's because a nose is attached to a body, making it only one part of a much larger system of 'things'.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling. If only one could blog on typewriters. That would be much more fun, typing's incredibly monotonous. It says that 'blog' is not a word. I wonder if I've spelt it wrong. Hmmm.
So farewell, world of blogging.
Hopefully, our paths will one again cross sometime in the foreseeable future.
It's quiz night tonight. What Fun!

Baking is fun...

Hello,
Today my cousin and i decided to bake a cake, just for the fun of it. Last week, we attempted carrot cake, but it wasn't a great success because it tasted all floury and gooey and the icing wasn't too great either. So today we thought we'd keep it simple and we made a fresh cream cake, which by the way tastes YUM!
although we did learn that you should use Single Cream for the cream on the cake instead of double cream because that makes the cream to think and clumpy, but it tastes the same. Anyway, here are some pics of my fun baking time...

These are my flour domes...

or maybe i'll call them flour igloos



my mummy chopping mushrooms and my cousins mixing the batter...

 And voila....
Our cake. It has pineapple butterflies...

Strawberry fans (you can't see them very well but the 
strawberrys are sliced into a pretty fan shape) ...


Well, that was that, i hope to do cooler cakes but this was a lot of fun and tastes YUM YUMMMM.
Keep following 
xxxxxxxx
