Weekly baking - Lemon and Mango Cheesecake

This cheesecake is non bake but it needs a time for each layer to set.
I got this receipt from my colleague Alex. His cheesecake looked like from the shop. I tried to make mine to look as perfect as (for me) possible. :-)

Work and work to save

This week I got 4 shifts in my second job! It means that in 5 days I will be working about 60 hours. I don't usually do so many hours but if I have this opportunity I will do it. Only regret is that I don't go to the GYM, because to be honest I am totally exhausted after 13 hours of work.

Sealing Victorian quarry tiles

We have a Victorian quarry tiles in our house! 

Yes, not really inside as they are in front of our door and there are just a few of them. :-) Never less I am spending a lots of time a week with them. They need proper scrubbing every Saturday as the dirt goes inside of them. They have a little of wear especially the middle ones. I thought that if we seal them then they will look better and also they will need just a wipe dawn and not scrubbing every week.
Our front door looked like this. I have already painted them and also did a little design on our door mat. You can but see the tiles having different colour + texture as they are just used.

Weekly baking - Lemon drizzle cake

It is such a nice and warm weather here in Surrey. So I have baked something lighter this week.
Lemon drizzle cake is not difficult and it taste nice and summery.

How to clean a sisal rug - DIY

We have this sisal runner in dining room. It is the only thing between outside dirt and our cream carpets. Unfortunately we do not have any front hall or corridor. You open front door and it goes straight in the dining room.

I have bought this runner about 18 months ago when we bought the house and just after I have cleaned all of our carpets. :-)

It has good colour which will hide the dirt but it was slowly starting to show it.
