the brownies passed the bounce test - in that when she bit into one her whole face lit up and almost made me blush 
they were much better than the mid week batch (secret being more and better chocolate and waitrose rather than morrisons cherries) i might sell the recipe to M&S (these are not just brownies these are alcohol drenched melt in the mouth pure seduction brownies.. or something like that). she liked the pressies too and we have a date for next week
more good news today when i read my contract for the new book to find they will pay me a hefty advance! It does rather mean i have to deliver on time but i have 2 years so should be ok. with two books now on the go im hoping the teaching calms down in 2008. the second year and first year stuff is fairly sorted but i still have lots to do for the year threes and i have my portugal conference paper to write and 2 articles. probably be better if the bouncing muppeteer didn't succomb to my charms if im going to get anything done (no that's a silly idea!) what i need is a plan and i think sunday might be the day for sorting all that stuff out.
its pissing down outside and so im kind of hoping that SheWho doesn't invite me out to the pub with her mate..
