Gavin: Masterchef

For those of you that we haven't told, Sonny is obsessed by cookery programs. Apparently, it's a common side effect of not actually eating but being fed through a line, which is why it was so nice when our friend Jo organised for him to decorate some cakes. But these weren't just any cakes. They came with hats and aprons and little bowls of sweets and everything he needed to turn him into the next Ludovic (I know he's out, but he should have won surely). Here's a before, during and after photo. The last one is him doing his best Michel Roux impression "they're a little underdone but I like them like that". We've now spent the rest of the day sucking on spoons for too long and saying "this has some incredible textures my friend".

It may help to watch at least one episode of Masterchef to understand this post.

Zoe: Another Weekend

This time last week I was convinced that Sonny would be feeling much better by Monday if he had total bedrest and no visitors. How wrong I was and although he is stable his condition remains very much the same so instead of going over old ground I thought I'd talk about the nice things that have happened this week.

Our blog! Hi to all of you that have had a look and come back again for another peek and thank you for all your lovely messages of encouragement. So far we've enjoyed posting - it helps to vent and I think we are both finding it quite theraputic. If we don't blog one day, please don't panic it just means we haven't got round to it.

Sonny sitting up in bed: Gavin and I came back from a meeting with the doctor to find Sonny sitting up in bed reading Match Magazine... and Sonny laughing out loud at I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? book sent to him by his friend Andrew.

Food! Really huge thanks to Amelia for setting up the most amazing Islington food delivery service. It is absolutely brilliant of you all and we really really appreciate it. This week we have enjoyed a delicious Thai red curry from Franny complete with wine and profiteroles and a hamper the size of Mary Poppins handbag from Judy including freshly made pancakes with summer fruit compote and chocolate brownies - no pressure guys, we don't normally feast like Kings!
