    I'm hugely disappointed ... I've missed a potentially very useful talk at the U3A on 'How to be a Roman Emperor' .

    Oh that's a shame Dove. I can give you a few clues from my own research. Eat too much cake. Develop any form of psychopathy and/or sociopathy you feel comfortable with. Wear a bedsheet.

    I think they've stopped interviewing for that job now anyway. :#:smile:

    Does anyone else think the U3A sounds a bit too much like a strange religious cult though?

    Cheers @raisingirl ... first things first ... will have to make more cake ... only one slice left of the Courgette, raisin and pistachio cake I made the other day ... 

    @wild edges  ... I find most things sound like a strange religious cult if you say them often enough  :dizzy:

    @Dovefromabove Any chance of your recipe? I don't have pistachios but would reckon hazlenuts might suffice? Got the courgettes though...…….

    Is this oppressive humidity getting to anyone else? Maybe it's because I just spent a cool damp week in Edinburgh. Any of you deities in charge of weather sort it out PLEASE!

    My Lithuanian friend uses almonds in hers and blueberries in place of sultanas. Also very nice.
