Good morning again, everyone.  Monday, new week last full one in March - the year is racing away right now.  Yesterday's weather wasn't quite as bad as I thought it might be.  Not too much rain and when it did, it wasn't heavy.

The outcome of yesterday mornings bakery session (plus some sourdough crackers with are delicious but will need crisping up before eating.

The crumpets are much better than the previous one except that the bases are a little over-browned.  It's not a problem, I can just toast one side and they will be lovely topped with an egg and with tomatoes and mushrooms on the side for breakfast.  They're now in the freezer.

As for the half and half loaf, well done, Bubbles!  I left it wrapped in a clean cloth to cool and it sort of worked - the crust was still crusty but much easier to slice.  Apart from the end I tasted, the rest is now in the freezer.

The ballet yesterday was absolutely lovely.  You don't get a really bad view in the Chelmsford Theatre Studio, as it calls itself.  Ideally I would have liked to be a little higher and more central but that's just being fussy!  It was everything I wanted it to be and as well as the ballet itself, Darcey Bussell and someone else whose name I cannot remember, were interviewing people in the intervals and that was really interesting.  The buses worked so, really, everything was good.

Today I have a blank page in my diary.  I didn't sleep at all well last night and have pulled pout of circuits - I will make that up later this week - and once I am bathed and ready for the day, I will potter inside and get things in order for the week.  That should make me feel brighter.  :-)

Have a lovely day, everyone.  xx
