I'm sitting in this deep chair, trying to write, laptop on my lap, and my eyes keep getting distracted by how blindingly WHITE my cleavage is. I've checked several times but there's nothing there, no white sheet of paper, not a white napkin, not even my white bra flashing everyone and their mother. Nope, just my boobs being their usual pale selves.

I'm telling you, vampires got nothing on me.

In other news, I decided I deserved cake for being a lazy bum so I just ate a (gluten-free) lava cake with chocolate topping (regular and white), whipped cream and berries and now I'm equally happy and sick to my stomach from the overwhelming sweetness. It's a cake I can only manage about 1-2 a year and still each time I think, "Surely, it wasn't that sweet..." Twenty minutes later I regret eating it and vow never to buy it again. Until next time I do. Because it just looks so yummy. Which it is, just a bit too yummy. *drinks lots of water*

Yep, we have a volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajökull. It's a small one and doesn't appear to be dangerous. The pictures online are pretty though.

Apparently my brother and his wife are "trapped on the wrong side" according to his Facebook status. That is, they are on one side and their kids on the other and they are not allowed to drive through. Not yet anyway. Not sure which of them is here and which are there although I'd guess the kids were visiting my brother's wife's parents which live, I think, somewhere around there. It's not dangerous, just feels uncomfortable not being able to get to them, I can imagine. Hopefully the road will be opened again soon. [ETA. They've opened the roads now.]

Meanwhile I'm trying to write while drinking latte and eating my second attempt at candygramme's 5 Minute Chocolate Cake. Much better this time, prob ably because I had all the ingredients. It's still a bit chewy though but I think that's the gluten free flour I have to use. But man, it's good. Yum.
