My thoughts too @AuntyRach ... they’ve got it gathering flour mites in their cupboards and those of us who always make our own bread etc are struggling for supplies ... hey ho .... c’es la vie

I missed your news @chicky - sorry! I must have been a page behind?? I hope chicklet makes a speedy recovery, but she must take her time before even considering any work stuff. Usually you would have 2-6 weeks off for that.
Good news, @chicky - hope you get her home tomorrow, and can persuade her the work can wait...
I cut hubby's hair today. He was beginning to look like a mad professor... and now a good number of birds, including a wren I was watching, will have silver-lined nests having collected his spare hair from the bush I'd lodged it in.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Hi everyone. Overcast day today, but as usual, no rain. I’m going to town in a while. I’m held up a bit because Hubby is still getting his breakfast after being on the phone with a mate in Melbourne for 2 hours 🙄, then just as he was putting things together for his meal, our son rang and another hour skipped by. 😏
By the way, I was thinking about the flour situation when reading your posts. Since Hubby likes to make his own pasta, I introduced him to Semolina which people haven’t discovered, and the resulting pasta was delish. No egg needed either. In future, he won’t be using his old recipe.
Thinking of Chicklet and her Mum, and everyone else who has sad problems. Catch you all later.
Morning all, was up at 6.30, washing on (economy 7) Hubby tried 4 different shops to get me some sr flour, no luck in any. I do have a little, I made Michael Mosleys banana muffins yesterday, same oven ete, have been making cakes over 60 years, normally make cakes every week for Hubby to take to work, last ones were blueberry ,no problem, these really dont apear to be cooked at the bottom, the tops are brown, I have made banana cakes and loaves for years, I did the scewer test, it came out clean, am cross because it was a waste of the little flour we had. Thought we would have "proper" Sunday tea, I had cucumber sandwiches, (he had salmon) Should have made the scones I was going to make! One the positive note, we had lots of rain on Friday night, (thats the best time in my book for it be rain!) 2 water butts on bungalow and conservatory full to the top, 2 on sheds full, ironically not much in the ones off the greenhouse in the veg plot, never mind!

Love the thought of silver lined nests @Liriodendron
