Tomorrow is the last day of my contract at LBi. I’m really sad to be leaving – absolutely love my colleagues to bits, have had an awesome time with the team I’m on, done a bunch of work and learnt soooooo much, as I do every time I’m at LBi. On the flip side, though, I’m looking forward to having a chance to rest and mend the ankle properly, work on some personal projects (finishing caitlinrowley.com, finishing writing my book and turning Deconstruct: Point, line, plane into an orchestral piece for starters) and hang out with my parents for a few months. Anyway, it wouldn’t have seemed right to have left without some sort of baking extravaganza, so last night I made brownies (because a largish chunk of Team ID seem to be taking long weekends this week and won’t be in tomorrow) and tonight have made a vanilla butter cake with Mexican vanilla buttercream frosting, to be decorated with sparkly red edible glitter I think that makes for a suitable farewell cake!

um… yes. Well, the title says it all really. Except for the bit that I think I’m quite glad I won’t have any need to tackle canvas on this project – looks interesting, but a bit daunting. Going to read the whole chapter anyway, partly because it’s there, partly because I’m bound to need to know something about it sometime and there’s no time like the point where one is reading the rest of book anyway.
