100 years

I feel the need to mention my brother in law Russell's Nan, whose 100th birthday is today. Amazing! Although no blood relation to me (unfortunately - I could do with those genes!), she is the only person that I know who has reached the age of 100. I have met her a few times over the years and she is a lovely lady.
I have now put the marzipan on my Christmas cake. I couldn't help but notice that my cake is noticeably darker than those baked by my colleagues. I did put in a generous amount of treacle but I hope that it is not burned. It smells nice, perhaps due to the fact that I have been feeding it with Grand Marnier! I found it easier than last year to put on the marzipan because I remembered how. I love the way that the Home Economics teachers hover around and lend a hand where necessary without even being asked.
Apart from that I have done nothing but work, but I'm not complaining because it has been a very productive week so far. What annoys me is when I work hard but run into all sorts of dead ends and I don't get things finished. This is often an inevitable part of my job due to its people centred nature, but I do like the feeling of getting things done!
