Trifle

Poor Eva - it has been 35°C today and she was very unsettled.  It was really hard for me because on previous hot days I just take her in a cool shower & it calms her right down.  Of course I can't do that at the moment, so I wiped her down a few times with cooled baby wipes.  She calmed down in the late afternoon and slept for over two hours.  

While she slept I donned my pinnie and made a trifle.  Not just any trifle, but a black forest trifle.  My excuse was that I needed to test out the recipe before Christmas, but really I just couldn't wait until Christmas to try eating it! I am so glad I did make it, it even got a 'mmm' from Jimmy, which is very hard to get especially when it comes to cooking!  I must admit, the favourite part of my first trifle making experience was using my awesome glass bowl that Mum gave me last month!

Now I am off to listen to lullabies, cuddle my baby to sleep and enjoy a glass of wine, all while trying to stay away from the trifle!
