Thursday is Cake Day

Once again - it's going to have a rather heavy food theme.  Thursday was my birthday - and it's always an experience celebrating abroad.

There were presents from the team - bouquets of yellow roses and a traditional floral arrangement. 
 
 
A basket of lush lavender products and a rather enormous bottle of extra virgin olive oil.  And then there was cake.  Well not just cake, 6 enormous, chocolate or tiramisu or fruit or meringue or ice-cream cakes. 



Enough cake perhaps!
After work we went along to "Ghetto", a beautiful courtyard bar in the centre of Split.  Good music, chilled atmosphere and warm weather.  Probably the first birthday in decades where it hasn't rained!

That, however, changed this morning.  It rained; hail stones the size of golf balls, roads flooded.  The crew shooting the titles sequence are currently trapped in the studio (which is on an industrial estate) because the access road is flooded.  At least Tina planned ahead - she's trapped in the bakery!

It's stopped now - so guess I should venture out before the next deluge.
