Old Style Daily Thursday 10 October 2024
Morning all. I'm off to Glasgow very shortly to take my crunched car to the bodywork garage. The car hire company will collect me from there, take me to their place to sort out a car for me then I'll head back home. I hope that all is well with everyone.

Good morning, it's damp here, not really cold though. I didn't get back yesterday, forgot about it till last night, so thought it was too late. Nothing of note happened yesterday, went to the Book Club at the library. Today it's the Residents' Association meeting so I'll go to that, it's usually only an hour. TA, sorry to…

but, unfortunately, necessary. It's here on Old Style to provide the
support we all need and to make the whole task easier and quicker. We

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…

Good morning, seems fine but still dark. Hope everyone is ok, we had a fairly good day yesterday. I shopped at Lidl for a change. There's one at a shopping centre nearby. Had a quiet day after that, not much planned for today. Thinking of our sad and poorly people, take care folks.

O/S Daily Saturday 28th September 2024
Good morning - it's fine here but cold. Yesterday was brrr as well. I went out to our little high street, looked in a chazzer or two, but didn't buy anything. I saw a nice leather handbag in one of them, and was tempted, but really, I need a handbag like I need a smack in the face, so stepped away. A friend came round last…

Cheapest white sauce for lasagne?
I need to make 8-10 people's worth of lasagne - in the past I've used fresh milk, uht milk and jarred sauce (L1dl) and would need at least a pint's worth - more likely pint and a half - what's the cheapest way you've found to make (or buy) white sauce?
