Good morning all, sorry I'm late, my creaky joints were giving me gyp!

I have been gentle today, so hopefully some newcomers will have a go.

Remember not to post the answers, to allow others to have a go. Feel free to PM, if you want to know if you have the correct answer.

The reporter was very close to that lovely cake and I was muttering 'don't breathe on it you stupid man, self-distance!!'

puzzler61. I think Captain Tom is a traditional Victoria sponge gentleman or maybe Madeira cake. No Victoria sponge with icing sugar dusted on the top.

Callistemon Thu 30-Apr-20 12:41:03

Puzzler61 Thu 30-Apr-20 11:47:07

What flavour /sort of cake do you think is Capt Tom’s favourite?

Puzzler61 Thu 30-Apr-20 11:45:48

Feelingmyage55 - that’s such a good excuse/reason for making a cake! I’m gonna bake one now cos’ it’s Capt. Tom’s centenary birthday ? ? ?. Happy Baking all who are doing similar today.

Feelingmyage55 Thu 30-Apr-20 11:40:51

pantglas. Did your husband only wear ............. not going to finish.?

Feelingmyage55 Thu 30-Apr-20 11:38:26

Clang - the penny has dropped. I’ll be back to check my answers. I can’t do healthy eating day. I’m baking a cake to celebrate the GM birthdays and also Colonel Tom. It would be rude not to eat it when I’ve baked it. I’m not having any tea tonight (aka supper, dinner, evening meal) just cake. ?

Feelingmyage55 Thu 30-Apr-20 11:34:39

Miss, I’ve sharpened all my pencils while I was absent but I haven’t sharpened my brain box. I’ll be back.
