I gave her a piece of freshly baked chocolate babka. It's gonna be messy.

(Babka nice, though I think I screwed up rolling it and putting it in the pan--the filling isn't in a spiral.)

I thought we had till August, but no. It seems Nether Street post office closed last Monday. What a shame :(

A notice from the Planning Board that the owners of #269 have applied to replace their current windows (have to check, but if they have the same ones as us they have multipaned wood frame windows) with white uPVC windows.

I will be registering an objection. The chance to object to uPVC windows is too good to pass up.

(Non-Brits: uPVC is ugly plasticky stuff and looks terrible, especially when used to replace very nice Edwardian windows.)
