I've been buying a few more clothes for both my hot weather holidays and last week I ordered some shorts from Temu because - well - cheap!
They came yesterday and I got them too big; you never know with Temu, do you?. They're knee length (what I wanted; I am getting on a bit now) but I fear that when I wear them I will bear more than a passing resemblance to Lofty from 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum'. Remember that oldie?
To be fair, after I ironed them, they looked a lot better but still too big, I think.

So I went back online and ordered the size below and fingers crossed.
They were so very cheap that it's not an issue and I'm not going to bother to return them - they will do me at home - assuming we actually do get some warm weather, of course!!

I pottered in the kitchen yesterday and made some not cross bun dough using a Cookidoo recipe. In the end, the amount made two small cake sized loaves and three not cross buns. There's nothing meaningful or statement-like about the not cross bit, it's just an extra hassle I can't be bothered with, making the flour and water stuff to form the crosses. I did make a glaze though!
I also started Diane's sourdough and it's been slowly fermenting overnight in the fridge. It's out now and warming up before I carry on.
I got an email from Readly. They are amalgamating (or being taken over???) and are 'excited to welcome you to a new reading experience and a new Readly app very soon.' In other words - it will change. Grrrr.
It means I will lose all my bookmarks so, yesterday, I went through with my camera and photo-ed each thing I wanted to keep because I don't know if you can copy or print from Kindle Fire. They're now all uploaded and I need to go through and give each file an appropriate name - they're mostly recipes.
Sharon came and worked the usual magic with my hair. I read the gas meter and checked the boiler pressure (fine) but will do the knives today.
The diary is empty so I think I might look round a few shops just for fun. Maybe I could get the bus into town - I'll see how I feel. I have the loaves to finish and I have just sliced and frozen the not cross bun loaves to get them out of arm's reach. They are just too delicious!
I hope your week is going well. Have a great day, everyone, and take care. xx
