  • I won’t be making bread after all ... Id not noticed we’ve run out of bread flour 🙄  Never mind, we’ve got enough bread to manage today ... I’ll go to the shops tomorrow for bread flour. A new batch of yoghurt is ‘brewing’ in the yoghurt maker ... it’ll go in the fridge tonight 😊

    We can get some good bread in the SM and their muti-cereal baguettes with chia seed are good cutting into 3 and bunging in the freezer for when OH needs a sandwich for golf or we have soup.   Can't get serious wholemeal or sunflower seed bread tho so I do make my own when the mood takes me.

    Don't know what to do today.  Had hoped to be gardening so definitely not in a sewing mood.   Maybe some mosaic then.

    Keep warm and safe everyone.

    You and me both @Obelixx. I've just spent nearly an hour on the computer sorting out the renewal of our home insurance and have nearly lost the will to live. Also need to do our car insurance but can't face that as well today.
     It's getting worse outside but nothing blown over/uprooted yet - hopefully.
    Did some housework this morning but not in the mood to finish it or cooking either.
    Think I'll just sit and twiddle my fingers!  Good lord, a huge gust has just hit us and torrential horizontal rain!!!!

    Most of the garden under water now, third time in 9 months, I am getting mighty sick of it.

    Oh dear @punkdoc  ((hugs)) Take your mind off it for a bit by reading how Jay Rayner suffered so we don’t have to ... bless him

    Afternoon. 
    Sounds like damage and weather-effects all over the country. You must be vexed to see the garden under water again Punkdoc.
    Just come back from Sunday lunch and noticed a few pots have been knocked over but not quite sure how - must have been by a chair I had rested against the table. Only one breakage though.

  • Right ... the really bad stuff has arrived in Norfolk ... OH has been sent home early ... he got home just before the bad stuff hit us. Phew!

    Hello all.

    OH has just had a look round the cottage in Norfolk with his iPad. All seems well. He can turn lights on and off with the iPad. He's going back on Tuesday, I hope the flights will be OK by then, some were cancelled today because of the wind at Stanstead.

    Lunch guests have gone, the slow roast venison in garlic herbs and wine wrapped in streaky bacon then foil was nice. A friend did a salmon mousse starter and another friend and the vicar's wife gave a lemon meringue pie and a Pavlova. I took an ibuprofen before church then paracetamol before lunch and I was OK but head has started aching again and a friend said my eyelids are swollen. Think it's time for a lie down.

  • @Busy-Lizzie ... have you got a temperature?  could it be infected?

    No temperature, @Dovefromabove, I think it was all the pushing and squeezing trying to get it out and the anaesthetic wearing off.
