kareinaToday was one of those days wherin I was busy enough that every time I looked at the clock I was quite surprised, because I was convinced that it should be hours earlier than the clock said. As a result of all of that time happily spent working I managed to complete the calculations for one sample and get it written up properly, and complete another but not write it up, because I'm now too sleepy, so that part can wait till morning.
In addition to uni work I managed to get in a walk to the waterfall, wash some clothes I do some baking. The hens have been laying, but we haven't been eating much in the way of eggs, and it happens to be![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clovis_t's father's birthday today, so I decided to make a pound cake. A good, old-fashioned sort: a pound of eggs, a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, and a pound of flour, with just a tiny dash of vanilla for good measure. I baked it in two loaf pans (I really like my new silicon bread pans--they are quite easy to clean, and unlike metal ones, I'm happy to wash them straight after taking them out of the oven and emptying them--they don't need to cool first). One loaf is for the house, and we will take the other to clovis_t's dad on the weekend, since clovis_t is too busy trying to finish up his Honours Thesis by Friday, when it is due (and for Honours they are very fussy about the deadline, at least in Australia). Besides, all of the old cookbooks say that pound cake is better if it sits a couple of days first.
