Marzipan. Christmas Cake & New Gadget!

Today, I have plonked the marzipan on the cake. Tomorrow I will do the icing.

Himdownstairs and me are slowly getting to grips with our new Video/DVD player. It records on DVD, erasable or ordinary DVD discs.
Now at our age, things aren't easy, the "How to do it" book or as we call it, the "Destruction Book," could be in a foreign language for all the sense it makes to us. lol

I have always been the same, the instruction book of anything does not instruct me on anything, I get there through trial and error.

Is it me? But when reading the instructions, I make hard work of what sometimes, turns out to be a really simple instruction.
I am not made out for gadgets. How I ever got to work a computer, goodness knows. Trial and error! A lot of trial and many, many, errors.
