Twinkle twinkle

Our kitchen is sparkling. It's not clean - far from it, just sparkling. I tried to bamboozle little bear with a concoction of tap water, red food colouring and edible glitter. The bamboozling had a certain result, but not 100% success.

However I didn't realise that edible glitter was so fine! I got some from a reputable stall that specialises in cake decoration, and it started to leak tiny, tiny flakes of glitter almost straight away as the lid was knocked. When I wanted some in little bear's jollop I just took the lid off the pot and gently tapped just the lid over the glass and there was suddenly very fine glitter absolutely everywhere. And I can't get away from the dratted sparkle now, it seems to have crept in everywhere. And just when you think you've seen the last twinkle, a gleam will appear in the last place you would expect. It is so fine it seems to have got into every nook and cranny!

It had better work properly for little bear, that's all I can say!
