Lamingtons very pretty and the lamington is sweet!!!

2 days in a row!! People will collapse with shock!!! No phone call for Millionaire, but Sale of the Century will be back later in the year, maybe with a Daddo at the helm, and that will suit him more I think. The tailgate gas struts in my car were fine, and Karen went above and beyond the call of friendship by picking me up at 9am!! I was very tired this morning and only took the Labradors for a 10 minute walk along the footpath and back. At Karen’s we watched an episode of Blake’s 7 and they mentioned about 20 times “The Forbidden Zone” which is what I call the area between the first wrought iron gate to the outside world and the second inner wooden gate. I must have unconsciously called it by the name form Blake’s 7. Karen and I really ruined the whole atmosphere of the episode by laughing uproariously ever time TFZ was mentioned. At Spotlight we accidentally met Suzanne and went for a very late lunch. All in all an excellent day though I want to sleep now. I am going to stay awake so I can sleep all through the night.
Tiny Lamingtons
Day old sponge cake
2 cups pure icing sugar
½ cup cocoa
125 ml boiling water
desiccated coconut
Sift icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl and stir in boiling water until it is smooth. Cut sponge into rectangular pieces. Using 2 forks, dip each piece of cake into the warm icing, let the excess drip off, then roll in the coconut and place on a wire rack.
You can make jelly lamingtons, usually red, but using an almost set jelly instead of the icing.
