Sigh. The weather really hasn't got any better. But the postman brought Joel Henriques' fantastic book Made to Play so we've spent some time making fun things from paper and loo rolls. Sure, why not.

Mide making a giraffe...honestly it's child's play

Might look weird but these slotting paper circles are a challenge

Then we read...

Swotting up on dinosaur names

And checked if it was still raining (it was)

And then finally gave up and made cake- coffee and walnut cake so hey, life's not that bad!

The recipe is from Dan Lepard's Short and Sweet and is really awfully yummy- in fact a bit too yummy as it's nearly all gone and it was only made this morning. The rain and the calories. It's all too much.
