Brit flisters, I need your help. There is a particular type of Fondant Fancy that I think comes in a pink or yellow packet and definitely has your traditional pink, yellow and brown-iced cakes, but they are diamonds not squares and they are especially awful/brilliant and I would know them to look at them in an instant, but cannot remember the name or where one buys them to save my life.

You can buy them at a two storey supermarket of a very common type right next to either Victoria or Green Park.

I was hit in the head with a taxi, and then bounced on said head across a major thoroughfare, I have a perfectly legitimate excuse for being this vague!

That said, I have no excuse for my appalling tardiness when it comes to birthdays. You would think I could make it through one month, but no.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for today to [livejournal.com profile] joanwilder , [livejournal.com profile] sparemint  and [livejournal.com profile] vaginal_parfait , I hope it is absolutely spectacular for each of you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK
 to [livejournal.com profile] banbury , [livejournal.com profile] lietothedevil  and [livejournal.com profile] unomesowell  for the 19th and to the lovely [livejournal.com profile] angelofcaffeine  and [livejournal.com profile] suonguyen  for the 17th, I hope that it has been filled with festivities, or at least pleasantly calm!

I only know the square ones I'm afraid - never seen a diamond shaped one.

Maybe I'm insane? I mean, it's never outside the realms of possibility ...

OH! And talking with Treacle earlier, we decided that you are the reason she writes so much porn. You should be very proud!

That was what Rai and I decided last night, but then I became convinced they were more diamond-shaped than that. Which may because they aren't those ones, or may be because I have the memory of a half-drunk gibbon. I blame the taxi!

And YES! You realise this makes Treacle our love child? I think she will be thrilled.

Maybe you only ever saw squashed packets.

Is everything okay with everyone today? It's been really quiet!

HEE! Quite possible!

I think that all the Australians are flat with heat (and a few are probably building levee banks as the floods move south down the continent), while the Brits are crossing their fingers too much to type while watching the ODI (grim), and a sizable percentage of the Yanks are freezing their fingers off. The others are probably having a proper Sunday -- very sensible!

I cannot face cricket without Stuart Broad. I am shallow - I need teh pretty.

Do I really have to go to work tomorrow?

Only 2 weeks until centerparcs!

Same. And One Dayers aren;t real cricket.

Do you have a sore throat and headache? (I ask because I do, but I also have a lot on, so I am prepared to bequeath mine to you if you have some sick leave up your sleeve.) And I'm not sure if I should admit this, but whenever you say Centerparcs, I imagine Butlins. And you in your vintage bathers.

No, but I do have a haemorrhoid (you did sort of ask). I have had bum problems for about 3 weeks. It started with constipation, which I am Not. Allowed. to get. And now there is blood. And pain. I'm trying not to think about it too much.

I know, centerparcs is like holiday hell for people with no kids. But oddly I am really looking forward to it! I have bought some surf shorts to wear with my black cossie, and will of course be taking my red number.

I wouldn't say hell, but yeah, the sort of place people like me go to, are suitably astonished and impressed, and then leave for somewhere less reputable ;-)

I think that totally deserves a day off work, you need to rest on your front!
