    I made it through a tough day at work and then I taught my evening class. It all went well. I am thankful. It seems like the other day I was considering whether I could do it and now it is almost over…Roll on the end of the month when the college pays me :)

    I got food wrong after all my planning. So after a salad at 1pm and no breakfast and no supper it is nearly 10pm and I am eating almonds and a piece of smoked fish. Guess who will be sleeping badly after that? :eek:

    I wrote my official letter of the week and posted it. This one was to complain about my garden waste not being picked up.

    I checked my bank balances. Not good news :( I had a few expensive outgoings in July: An Ocad0 shop/renewing garden waste service/some new clothes/A few IK3A items/train tickets. It all adds up…

    I am going to watch QT and then hopefully sleep. One more day to go and then I can breathe out

    I hope your day went well reader

    There's one brand of potato bread, possibly sunblest or ormeau that is gluten free.

    I will check it out. I might try and make a loaf using buckwheat flour and potato. How I miss good bread...

    Potato bread is just mash, flour,an egg for binding and griddled. It was basically poor people food making use of spuds. So it probably would work with buckwheat.
