Wednesday, 11-03-26

Morning, all!  We have sunshine.  So lovely and cheering.

Thanks to everyone for being so understanding about my somewhat unnecessary stock up on Monday - these price rises are hitting us hard, some more than others, and it's a big cause of the current feelings of unrest everywhere. I think.  Everyone is worried.
Having said that, I got an email from my electricity provider saying the price cap is dropping.  Such a shame it goes up in the colder months and down in the brighter, warmer months when usage is less anyway - imagine slightly cynical tone of voice here!
Still - every little helps!

Chris and I got our walk to Groove and back again and now I look forward to our chat on Thursday.  Apart from that, it was just another day.
No, it wasn't - that sourdough that looked so promising decided to just die -  Lindsey's loaf dough, not Bubbles.  I gave it over 24 hours for it's last prove and zilch.  So I baked it anyway and it was heavy and stodgy, like bread pudding.  For once, I had to chuck them  and I rarely do that!

That's life!

Today is another stay at home until personal training and, to be honest, that's in doubt as my back is playing me up at the moment.  I'll see how the day goes.

Have a lovely day, take care, enjoy the sunshine if you have it and I'll see you tomorrow.  xx

  1. Take care of your back- maybe Lindsay could give you some exercises designed to help. Very windy and wet here today and I’m hoping the recycle bin is emptied before it blows away. Catriona

  2. I just caught up with your Cambridge post, lovely ☺️
    We stock up too, it’s not a bad idea in uncertain times.

    1. I did have a good time and I'm glad you enjoyed the post, thanks. I think maybe there's a fine line between sensible stocking up and hoarding. Where that divide comes, I'm not sure really. xx

  4. Oh gosh, I thought you meant that Bubbles had died for a minute. She must be quite old now, so that would have been a tragedy.

    Why am I so invested in your sourdough starter!! 😄

    1. Oh, no, that would have been an absolute disaster. I keep thinking I ought to freeze some - in fact, I might very well do that today/tomorrow. I would hate to lose Bubbles.
      And I have no idea but how nice of you . . .

  5. Hope your back feels better!
    When I'm shopping, I am just making sure I look for sales and stock up on items we use so I have them on hand.

    1. Yes, that is a sensible approach to take, for sure. And as long as one stocks up on things you KNOW you will use, it's a good thing. xx

  6. I hope your back is getting better. I plan on purchasing just a few items when I am out and about on Friday. I will try not to go overboard.

    God bless.

    1. Thanks, it is a lot easier now, phew.
      In uncertain times, we have to keep a look out, don't we?
