This is my very first time of documenting my 'Month in Numbers' that was started by Julie Kirk at notes on paper. I have been viewing other's posts and scrapbook layouts and have been inspired to do one of my own. So here goes...
August was a busy month as there were a couple of special birthday celebrations in my family, which entailed me visiting my eldest sister and then my family staying with us for a few days to come together for a family reunion to celebrate our son-in-law's birthday.
First number up - the biggest amount...
- 171 - Number of photos I took at Monkeyworld! *Ü* For my sister's birthday, she chose for us to go to Monkeyworld and it was a beautiful day. We had fun watching the antics of the different species which are currently in a series on the television.
- 109 - Number of Ferrero Roche chocolates it took to make a 'tree' for my son-in-law Homero's birthday.
- 24 - Number of eggs that I used to make Homero's birthday cake! The first and biggest cake I made didn't turn out as I expected. I multiplied the mixture x 4 - which included 12 eggs, and baked it in a flowerpot as I wanted the graduated 'bucket' shape for the cake. Fortunately, I made it a little earlier than planned, and I just had enough time to make another cake - which would be the original but it was very tight - timewise. I made a 'KFC' cake and 'fries' - made from marzipan. I borrowed a KFC tray to present it and Homero was thrilled. The cake turned out moist and delicious in the end! Phew!
'Steak fries' to accompany the cake.
- 32 - Number of pounds I paid for an ice cream treat at Morelli's for 9 of us!
- 11 - Number of sheets and towels I washed after my family went home.
- 4 - Number of days I was without my computer due to a fault of my own! I took the phone plug out of the socket to make a call on the phone in my office and wondered why my pc didn't work! LOL. Duh! I couldn't figure out why and it was 4 days before I managed to get back online. It is so frustrating when I am without my pc and I realise that it makes me miserable.
So that is the sum of my Month in Numbers post peeps.
Toots for now,
