Last night we had yet another committee meeting last night about this 20 000 square metre store that wants to open next to us. It ended in political mud-slinging when various members began arguing about whether we should get the local DA or COPE folks involved (two South African political parties). What a headache!
I am the youngest person at these meetings but I am often tempted to stand up on my chair and tell the lot of them to grow up.
Oh well, at least we got stuff planned and accomplished. I can't make the next meeting. What a pity ;-)
When I got home I treated my headache with my usual therapy - baking. Roo had ordered cupcakes from someone, but got dropped at the last minute. I recommended her to cupcake miracle worker Angel, but because it was just so last minute with no notice, Angel couldn't fit her order in. I said I'd do it, so here are the results:
Roo seems to like them.

Po: Good! I was using "Princess" as my theme ;-)
Helen: Will have to make a plan to eat cupcakes in the botanical gardens some time!
Brazen: Thanks.
Shayne: They are heart-shaped jelly beans that Woolies was selling for Valentine's Day.
Paula: Cupcakes fix a lot!
Angel: Well, they're not as glamourous as yours, but I tried. We're in the public objection phase now, which closes 10 March. Then council has to respond. It will hopefully go to a tribunal. May take months or even years - they still have to get permission for rezoning, do an EIA and so on.
Damaria: Ja, I think I ate a bucket of icing while I made them. Quite a sugar high ;-)
Cam: Mailed you an answer. The cupcakes like you too. See how they're smiling?
