It was a funny old mix yesterday - cold (boo) and with spells of sunshine punctuated by heavy downpours that, thankfully, didn't last long. Definitely not a day for line drying so I got out my rack and dried my sheets that way. A shame, because they are so much nicer when dried in the fresh air but it won't be long now.
I got downstairs all cleaned and dusted, changed my sheets (thank goodness) and generally had quite a busy morning. I think I might have done around ten minutes of weed scraping but down came the rain so in went I! And I dealt with ten items of clutter. Yay!
The sourdough starter (now officially named Bubbles because real sourdough bakers seem to name their starters and I can pretend), is still alive - one past attempt resulted in a horrible mouldy mess around five days in - and smells healthy. Not many bubbles yet but it seems that the early days can be quite quiet.
My fingers are crossed and my confidence not very high yet. :-)

Today is busy but nice-busy.
I'm doing just one section of SET this morning, the Strike part which is very energising and warming. Then I need to make sure everything is in order for lunch as Val is coming over, after which I am over at Chris' for out usual coffee and chat - lovely.
Then I'm home and finishing lunch, Val will arrive and we can have a good old catch up.
Should be a very pleasant day indeed. I hope yours is too. xx
Yesterday really was a funny weather day wasn't it. We took Mavis to the vets in glorious sunshine, drove to Manchester under dark grey skies and then came home through a torrential rain storm. This morning is glorious though and I've quickly stripped the bed to make full use of the washing line.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your Facebook comment. ❤️
It wasn't great, for sure. The sun was lovely but . . .
DeleteLots of love to you. xx
Woke up to frost this morning and the car had to be scraped before DH could go to the Shed. Washing machine going and now it’s cold and sunny-yeah! Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt does seem to have turned colder again - it won't last long, I am sure. xx
DeleteIt's blimmin cold here but blue skies and sunshine..... I'll take that over warm grey miserable days. I love that you named the starter bubbles.
ReplyDeleteIt made me smile when I thought of it so I had to really!
DeleteHopefully, before long, we will have both sun and warmth. That will be lovely. xx
Your life is busy, sociable and enjoyable, an example to us all.
ReplyDeleteHmm - maybe, sometimes. I can also be outrageously lazy at times. I suppose we all can really!
DeleteThanks, Janice, and I hope you are well. xx
It has been sunny and warmish here over the last while, snow is melting and we have water build up. I hope you enjoyed your visits with Val and Chris.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I know snow melts into much less water but you've had so much! OI must be nice to feel the warmth of the sun.
DeleteIt was a lovely day, thank you. xx
Hope you do well with the sourdough starter.
ReplyDeleteWell - it's not doing much at the moment, to be honest, but I live in hopes. I can always start another one but not until after Potters now. I have moved it into the living room because it's a fair bit warmer in there.
DeleteFingers are crossed. :-) xx
My Spring always has a meteorological start because my birthday is at the start of the month and I refuse to be a Winter baby :-)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very good idea to me - and belated Happy Birthday to you! xx
