Haha, different kind of bat but still excellent. Though the real prize this week was Harvard Yard. Emma remains such a joy. The fifth one might have been her best yet. Might start the sixth this week!

Oh that’s right, I need to try the audio of those! Bit of a wait for the next one anyway, I ordered it but it hasn’t arrived. That’s so fun, I would love to bake more. Hehe. I think you’ll find the murder isn’t too…over-seasoned.
