 Good morning.  Another chilly start but if today is anything like yesterday, it will be really lovely.  It was a perfect drying day.  Sunny and breezy and I got a load line dried really well with no need to air after ironing.

Groove was fab, as usual.  I don't know how Lindsey keep the energy levels going but she absolutely does.  So much fun.

As expected, the dental thingy was just measuring up my mouth using a clicky sort of thing that took photos and 'data' using some high tech machine.  Very clever stuff.  I'm back in a fortnight for the tooth to be fitted and, hopefully, that will be that (apart from paying the bill ouch)!

I came home and there was a letter about my car insurance.  I'm not sure how but it has gone DOWN by more than just a little bit - maybe because the car is older and, I think, has hit the ten years old mark now. 
That was a pleasant surprise and I can pretty much meet it all with what I have not spent this month, what with some of the local bills being paid just over then months with two months 'free' so to speak so no need to dig into my savings.
Mind you, that's what my short term savings are for so the money is there already but it's nice to manage without using it.  I just won't be putting anything into the holidays fund at the end of this month but it's all swings and roundabouts, isn't it?

Then I got an email from Eon about my bill from mid Feb to mid March and that had gone down too - so I was happy with that as well.

We've got there.

Bubbles is, finally!  No bubbles on the top (which is what I meant yesterday) but loads of activity and a great rise.  Woo hoo.

And Squeak is giving the owls something to think about.  Not sure they totally approve of her bid for freedom though.

So I have combined the two ryes and started a white.  I know I don't need both but it is fun.

Annoyingly, I'm not going to have the time at home today needed to make a proper sourdough loaf so I will have to be patient (again).

And I have changed my mind - the rye is going to remain as Bubbles and, if I manage a white, that will be Squeak.  And, thank you, Sue, the discard will be Squibbles  - a bit of each and a bit of itself too.

The spell checker doesn't like it  :-) .

Also thanks to Veronica for her advice - it's always good to get input from an expert.

Today is a day of two halves.  This morning is easy enough, just home based stuff.  However, the afternoon is packed.
First of all, I am in school for a course - I don't HAVE to go, it is a SEND thing but I am the SEND link governor and it will do as my governor training for this term.
Then I need to whizz over to Lindsey's for my personal training.  I'll take my exercise leggings with me and change at hers.
Finally, after a quick freshen up, I am back into school for the governors' meeting.
I will be ready for bed after that, for sure.

Have a really good day, everyone.  I hope the weather is lovely where you are.  Take care.  xx
