There is a general knowledge crossword in the Sunday paper and for as long as I can remember that's been the Daisy family's preferred way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. This was the highlight of yesterday's crossword attempt:
My mother: Right, next one across, who sculpted the Pietà at St Peter's Basilica in Rome?
John (confused): Who sculpted the potato at St Peter's?
That's nearly as good as the time my mother claimed the collected works of Ezra Pound were written by someone called Enoch Wouk.
After that I made an almond and orange cake for morning tea at work. I thought that would be appropriately festive.
