Morning, all.   I think I am in a grump this morning - the BBC says we have bright sunshine all day so I look out and what do we have here - gloom and cloud.  Mutter, mutter!

Good start, isn't it?

Yesterday was pleasant.  After SET online and the chat with Chris (great fun), did my shop for the week, put everything away and then I baked the not-sausage rolls (you can bake them from frozen which is very handy) and buttered the spiced fruit loaf.
It was lovely round Beth's.  Very quiet - none of us do big, noisy birthdays and Alex positively dislikes candles and songs so there was none of that, just some nice food, great company and some present opening.  

Once home again, I just chilled and did some crochet.  Nice day!

Today is the usual Friday - Slimming World and then back home, as I did the weekly shop yesterday.
I will be starting a sourdough loaf for Beth and I think I will also make her a yeasted mixed grains and seeds loaf too as it's delicious.  Thank goodness bread keeps well in the freezer!

I think I will be taking a couple of days off blogging this weekend as there is precious little happening.  I'll keep up my food blog as it keeps me accountable and makes me plan but I'll be back on Monday in here.
Have a lovely day and weekend, everyone, and may the sun shine on us.  xx

  1. Good morning do you do you’re sourdough in one day instead of overnight my dough over fermented leaving it all night .carole

    1. I have tried to do it in one day but it was just too rushed. So I either feed my starter early, get it as far as the second proof and pop it in the fridge overnight, or start the process later and do to bulk fermentation overnight - if it is warmer, I pop the bowl in the fridge and then let it continue the next morning when I take it out again.. I love the leisurely nature of it all . . . xx
