What is happening ?? Its been a while since i've written anything remotely 'bloggish' but I feel its a good way for me to express what goes on in the crazy mind &world of me (JAI / JASMINA) Also as I'm getting busier musically, I have less time free to be involved with a bag of different sites so I feel as long as I stay in charge of this one, it will keep our relationship a bit more personal and allow me to retain my random edge and talk about whatever I want to..
Well today, I have renamed Banana Cake Wednesday, No real subliminals people, its wednesday and I sincerley intend to bake a banana cake :0)
My Grandmother gave me this reciepe and as i'm indoors recovering (I've been pretty sicky lately) I thought i'd give it a go.
The last fortnight has been challenging to say the least, at a routine hospital visit they discovered I was quite seriously unwell but trying to remain positive i'm a lot better now and have learned a lot about myself in this short 14 day hibernation that I was forced to endure.
The most annoying part of it is that almost as soon as I fell ill, London decided to pretend to be Miami for a hot sec and the weather outside has been beautiful, Sunshine, summer breeze THE LOT ! and now i'm starting to feel a little better the gloom has resumed ! Hope it comes back ..
The last 24 hours has been a wacky rollercoaster ride of emotions but I'm glad I rolled with it (no pun intended) I spent some long overdue quality time with a good friend who I dont see enough, she came to check up on me, brought me some healthy stuff (she's very alternative) and we talked about nuff different things, watched films and she even made me cups of tea :o) Now thats love right thurrrr... NB: This might be your first encounter of me.. but remember me and tea... we go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back... So anyway my friend, we'll call her 'Sense' for now, brought a lot of laughs, positivity and sense to my day. I hope that one day I can do the same for her.
So now its 17.12pm.. I can hear the distant screechs, laughs and cries of kids playing in my estate, a slow bassline coming from a nearby house with every window open in some kinda attempt to invite the sunny days back, and inside I feel kinda peaceful like I'm getting better a lil bit, so i guess thats good. Gonna sign off for now and head to the kitchen, so that banana cake wednesday doesnt remain, simply- wednesday. I'll post the recipe below just in case the culinary wizard within you is screaming for something different.
Stay Blessed.
