31 May 2010 04:27 pmI didn't post any pictures yesterday - LJ wasn't always loading properly for me, and so I busied myself writing and baking rather than looking at what I'd taken pictures of this week.
It is the beginning of the TT Festival (The island pays host to tens of thousands of motorcyclists from all over the world for two weeks - the centre of the whole thing is professional motorcycle road-racing - for a bit more read the official site).
So far I've seen German, Spanish, French and Swiss bikes - but when I say worldwide I do mean it - last year I also spotted Canadian and American bikes and quite a few Australians and New Zealanders.
For me, as many friends here know, TT means baking! We sell vast amounts of tea, coffee, sandwiches and cakes at our church, as the garden is a good place to watch from. All the cake is home-made, and anyone who can bake...does.
You've seen pictures of industrial amounts of carrot cake and chocolate cake before - but I have made some special cookies which are here, along with some birds and flowers and silly things ( under the cut )
Also - last night I watched 'Going Postal' and have to agree with my husband who has already said, on his journal, how goos it is. The casting was so much better than for the previous two Pratchett stories that Sky have done - apart from not having Alan Rickman as Vetinari; but Charles Dance did a very good job.
But I won't be able to watch part two straight away - I'm off to church to do the first lot of teas for tonight's practices. Bother! Still, I can watch it later, and it's not as if I could really be spoiled for a story I read within a fortnight of it being published, I guess!
