O/S Daily Monday 14th October 2024
Good morning, it's a dry start here. Yesterday was ok, but chilly though. We visited a friend yesterday, she has a daughter living near DH's brother in the south west, where we are going today. She'd asked us to take some things down to her daughter, so we went to collect them from her. Then it was a quick trip to Tosco,…

Good morning, it seems to be a dry start this morning, cold though. I went to a nearby shopping centre yesterday, looking for some thick jumpers, well, thickish. Bought 2, plus a thinner one, but I don't look up to much in the thinner one, so I'll take it back. I need to go out today but just to our High street. Nothing…

I haven't read back on yesterday, hope everyone is all…

Making bread
I started making my own a couple of years ago, mainly whole meal (with a bit of strong white flour added in to help the texture). I am totally self taught so my expertise is limited. Sometimes my bread rises and looks beautifully domed, then sinks so the top is flat. It’s happened to my latest loaf. I made it last night…
