Who else can't sleep?

Licking my virtual lips after that apple crumble & lemon meringue pie @AllyJay.

I think the cheeses would go beautifully after my Italian Pear Cake and then we can finish with mint choc chip biscuits. Or just go for broke with my chocolate mud cake drizzled with raspberry coulis and cream.

Between us all I think we'd have a SPLENDID meal!

Hi @kmakm, l had a lot of trouble with constipation, l would have a few prunes or dates or prune juice and if l was on any pain killers like oxynorm which would block me up immediately then l would use Nu-lax which is a natural fruit laxative, worked well for me.

Lemon Meringue Pie does very nicely, @AllyJay. After @Zoffiel has whizzed up something delectable on the barbie.  Would anyone care for some apple slices with their coffees, after. Or maybe I could tempt you with mint slice?  Or just a range of local cheeses?

Dreaming of cake is good. I just woke from a very pedestrian dream about buying a BBQ set at a hardware store. I have no idea what that was about--i already own one. Anyway, I head straight for the power tools then hot foot it to the 'scratch and dent' trolley in the garden section at hardware stores. I was hanging out in the wrong Dept. Weird.

I don't do  much in the way  of layered and iced cakes, but  do make a mean lemon meringue pie and also apple crumble. You  could have a (virtual) taste.

Like a big layer cake with lots of layers and each one filled with fruit or cream or ganache and very fancily iced in multiple colours. Mmmm... *licks lips*

I hope it was a luscious cake - lemon drizzle with fat, juicy raspberries, Black Forest torte with plump black cherries...?

Oh dear. Hope everyone gets back to sleep. You'll probably sleep better tomorrow ss you adjust. Oceanside sounds perfect for you @sister, no bandicoots there.

I couldn't get to sleep unril about 1.30am. Almost 4.30 and a hot flush just woke me from a dream about cake. My tastebuds are rubbish but clearly my subconscious is keen for them to improve!

Change of scene and STILL can't sleep. Bonus is the sound of the ocean. Drawback is that I managed to wake all 3 kids and the cat when I got up.

@JJ70 I hate you!  ;)
