Fudge Cupcake Murder*

Scribbling this from my hospital bed at 7.35am.  Ray is here to keep me company – see photo above and attached photo.

Here are some knitted cakes.  Met them in a shop yesterday called Sugar to Tea.  It’s near my Spin studio at the farm.

Mum sits in a chair next to my bed, still working on The Times Bank Holiday Jumbo crossword.  The panther lies across my legs on the bed.  Stroking his head, I gaze out of the window at the sunlight falling on the leaves, which are turning yellow.

Can hear the rumble of cars on the distant road, and the buzz of hoovering in the corridor outside my room.  Have already put on my Hospital Pants.

Think Mum will take my phone away when I go in to the operating theatre, so this is my last chance to scribble something before The Operation.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
