I had a quiet day yesterday. The weather wasn't amazing so I stayed in and chilled. I did a Lindsey SET online, some knitting, some reading, started a half and half loaf because I prefer to have wholemeal bread, didn't make the sourdough crackers and took half a loaf over to Beth in the afternoon.
This is my idea of something beautiful (in its own way). My dough this morning when I came downstairs.
It's now been pulled, folded, shaped and is in the banneton and in the fridge until ten when I will bake it. An oval one this time - much easier for getting slices.
I've also made some discard crackers which are currently baking in my new-to-me microwave using the convection function. Fingers crossed. And later on I want to make some crumpets for the freezer - lucky freezer! - and that will pretty much use up Squibbles. Once the starters are established, they go into the fridge and only need feeding about once a week or less.
As well as that, I need (not want!) to do some housework bits and bobs and, this afternoon, I am off into town on the bus (so it will rain, of course) to see a live film showing of the Royal Ballet's Romeo and Juliet, my absolute favourite ballet of all time. The seat isn't great but I was lucky to get a ticket so no complaints. And I might treat myself to a drink in the interval, seeing as I am not driving. I've worked out the times - going is fine, coming back might be a bit more problematic but if I miss one, there's another about ten minutes later and, if all else fails, I can get a taxi as I don't want to wait an hour for the next one - not so many buses on a Sunday.
Despite the turn in the weather, it should be a lovely day and I'm looking forward to it.
Wishing you as nice a day too. xx
Sounds like a very full day for you. We love those events screening things at our local cinema.
ReplyDeleteIt's good, isn't it? A great way to see big things without big money. xx
DeleteI love Romeo and Juliet but my all time favourite is Peer Gynt
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely too - gorgeous music. xx
DeleteEnjoy the ballet!
ReplyDeleteI really did, thanks. It was lovely. xx
DeleteHave a great time enjoying your favourite ballet and be safe getting home.
ReplyDeleteComing home was fine. I had to wait for a bus but it wasn't a problem; plenty of people around. xx
DeleteEnjoy that ballet. I hope you catch one of the buses that you want so as to get home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteThe bread looks awesome.
God bless.
It made a lovely loaf, thanks. xx
DeleteHow neat, I hope you enjoy the ballet, Joy.
ReplyDeleteI did, thank you. It was lovely and very emotional at the end. xx
DeleteIt's a brilliant way to watch a ballet isn't it, and even better when you're not driving and can partake of a glass of wine at the interval. We both love going to see The Nutcracker every Christmas, and usually Swan Lake for my birthday, but this year we are hopefully going to watch the film The Salt Path, if our cinema gets it on it's official release date.
ReplyDeleteI didn't indulge in the end but it was a fab afternoon. I had a great time. xx
DeleteHope you enjoyed the ballet!
ReplyDeleteIt was absolutely beautiful, thank you. I'm so glad I got a ticket. xx
