After his big feed yesterday and a good stir today, Herman is definitely getting bigger!

Herman - Day 4: feeding time

It's time to feed Herman and the whole family got into the act.

Getting ready to feed with flour, sugar and milk.

Herman - day 3

Bubbly again and another stir.

Herman -the German friendship cake

A friend of mine at work gave me Herman, a German friendship cake. It's a sourdough cake. You are given, the 'starter', and then like sourdough you feed it and stir it until it grows and then you divide it and give portions to friends. You cook your remaining portion into a cake. It's like a chain letter with cake!

Day 1 - put Herman in a bowl




Day 2 - Herman is all bubbly - give him a stir


More updates to come.

Flying back from Paris

On our return flight from Paris, Elly was lucky enough to go on the flight deck and talk to the captain. She scored postcards of planes and even a sticker saying "I have been on the flight deck". But she was too shy to sit on the captain's chair (though Bridie would have loved to take her place).

Pyramids of Louvre

Elly is trying to reach the inner power of the pyramid. By touching the ends, sliding down, and giggling a lot.

Dan Brown would be proud.
