Hints UK - EU Divorce Bill Agreed. High FLying NK ICBM. Cakes and Custard.

Mango sponge cake made by Nathalie Garbolino-riva
News is currently circulating that according to several diplomats, the UK has accepted its EU liabilities up to Euro 100bn, though it is likely that they will be half that. It is being kept muted as it is hoped to be part of a package to be presented by Prime Minister Theresa May, after David Davis and Michel Barnier meet next week. There has been progress on the EU citizens rights in the UK after Brexit but there is still work to be done on the Ireland border issue.

North Korea has launched another intercontinental ballistic missile. Whilst it flew about 620 miles to fall into the Sea of Japan, it flew higher than its predecessors. This is important as more height means greater range. The US, now potentially in range, sees this as a global threat.

A relative has been able to return from the island of Bali, via Jakarta. Thousands of local residents and tourists are still trapped as the Bali volcano Mount Agun spews ash and is possibly due for an imminent major eruption.

Our baker, Nathalie, outdid herself with baking three very different cakes for today's Community Cafe. We had a mango sponge, apple and mandarin lattice pie and brownies. With custard!
