Day 21 - [Guest Baker] Pineapple Upside Down Cake + Lotsa Birds!

Elisa gave me a day off baking today, I think I could get used to this! Here's her serving up the pineapple upside down cake in the kitchen.


I was quite surprised at Elisa's offer to bake as I don't really know her, she lives on level 3 with the QCH team... nevertheless, I take on any help people offer in exchange of sleep!


Thank you Elisa for making my Monday extra nice :)


I think the office has been spoiled for the past month with CAKE! everyday. Are people having withdrawal symptoms yet?! I'm shaking a little myself...

The sun was very glare-y today, had to adjust the red colour balance a little.


Meanwhile, you're probably wondering what happened to the charcoal cake right?! The birds ate it!!!!! the non-charcoaled bits anyway (they're not that dumb). After work mum was telling me we seem to have attracted five species of birds to our backyard, all she can hear is happy chirping, an orchestra of them - no more afternoon naps! 


They truly look and sound like they have moved into the big mango tree... and the magpies are about to NEST in it...singing love songs to each other now that spring is approaching. I'm definitely regretting putting out the cake scraps (I have a bird phobia!), they're probably thinking how convenient, a shady tree and daily feeds!

Worst thing is, they're not even scared of us when we walk near!!!! I have to stop destroying the eco-system... so please colleagues reading this, help eat cake so there's no left-overs!!!!!!!!


I took this photo on the weekend from far away, you see, the shell of the charcoal cake is left un-pecked.


I'm still feeling exhausted somehow, super glad tomorrow I got another helper!
