Good morning, everyone, and happy May Day to you.

Yesterday was just lovely.  It was so good to see Diane again and we so enjoyed looking around the Freeport shops.
I bought some shoes (a planned purchase) and then, in the M&S outlet, a couple of vest T shirts (to wear under my crochet things so I don't feel uncomfortable about the holes (!!) and they had summer pjs at around 40% off - I rather regretted getting another pair last week at full price but that's life, isn't it?

We had lunch in Pret and I polished off the leftovers for dinner.

I finished the plain flour bread experiment and the answer is, yes, it does make a half decent sourdough loaf.  It took absolutely ages which, I suppose, is not surprising, and I baked it in a loaf tin as there was no way it would keep its shape as a freeform loaf.

I had to slice into it, of course, and yes, definitely sourdough.  Quite soft but delicious and the crust is great!

It's all bagged and in the freezer now!  

What next?  Well, as I have just opened a big jar of black olives, I think some sort of olive and rosemary bread would be a good one to try!  A smaller one to start with, I think.  I know Beth would like to share it.

As always, I really enjoyed personal training.  It's always nice to have a good old chat as I work.

And that was my day.
Today is going to be pleasant.  Coffee and chat with Chris in the morning and then she's coming to Groove in the afternoon as she missed the Tuesday one last week.

And housework - there's always housework.  And crochet!!

Have a lovely day, everyone.  xx
