Not mainly, but we will be at Wax and Taps later this morning for a big cheque presentation for Bosom Friends for their fund raising efforts on our behalf.

The Kleftico is in the oven, the Oregano smells lovely.

Booked my next session at West Bradford Village Hall on Friday 22 August 2025 at 14:15

I have to get a blood test in a the surgery hopefully a couple of weeks before then so it doesn't interfere with my donation.

I will shortly be engage in forward prepping for tomorrows tea. It would have been Dan's 45th birthday tomorrow and we always have a family get together to remember and raise a glass. I am making a large lamb kleftico for tomorrows tea based on the best variant I had on our recent jaunt to Rhodes. I...

I bet the Liberian President can string a perfectly coherent sentence together as well.

Found an email that I forgot about with going on holiday. I should have booked a service for the car which was due on the 20th of this month. I'll do that today, needs looking at as I have noticed an intermittent slight whine when in Drive. As reported elsewhere lift my starter from the fridge to w...

Not at all, we went to one I think it was in Wales when the grandchildren were a bit younger. The structures and rope bridges were slung at least 50 ft up in the canopy. They had a zip wire also. Quite a big site and it took about an hour to get round it all. Visited one in France also when our kids...

Looks like they have changed the ASCII code for half of the feature which makes no sense really. Does the minus on the keypad work for the feature?

A repeat of the Warsaw Ghetto and potentially what followed that. It was judged to be inhumane and a war crime when it was happening to anyone of Jewish heritage, why is it any better now?

Does CTRL not come in to play with the + and - for enlarge & decrease?

That suggestion cost Naz Shah MP her job a while ago. :smile: Move to USA. Well they cant sack me as I'm not employed, however if the suggestion is judged to be anti-Semitic, which in itself is stupid they could chuck me out of the party. I think it's perfectly valid suggestion which would solve a ...

Because it is bank rolled massively by the USA with weapons. I have often mused about Israel that they would not have to be belligerent to everyone around them if they hadn't stolen the land they occupy in the first place. Also if the USA likes them so much why not offer them land there, they have p...

Looking pretty active Kev. My sour dough was being lazy in the fridge overnight so I left it on the island this morning and by lunchtime it had risen sufficiently to turn it out of the Banneton and bake it off. It's turned out OK. I had an excess of starter yesterday and I have enough Naans and flat...

Just as I remember Jim and he and the same car took me to my wedding in December 1976 at Carleton.

Doesn't help that a lot of the dodgy regimes don't allow proper journalists or reporters in. Suppression of free speech is one of the main markers for oppression of the people. Without the citizen reporters and their mobiles we wouldn't have a clue of what goes on in some areas.

No, just gave the lot up as a bad job!

Still smells nice though.

Full blown migraine, well the last time. Nausea, flashing lights, splitting headache, shivering and sweating at the same time, not nice. :nooo: Doc says you can wean back on to an intolerance by sipping a teaspoonful a time until you feel symptoms, then stop note how much you can tolerate and then i...

I would have to pass on the Affagato. I have been promising to wean myself back on to coffee at some point. It always smells nice but taboo for the last 40 odd years. I will have to find a day when I don't have any commitments.

Yes, I believe it is Yum Yums who are on Church Street that have taken it over.

This mornings bake. One of the best that I have turned out. 30297 Fed my starter yesterday and mixed the dough when it was roaring. Stretched and folded yesterday afternoon and when sufficiently strengthened I set it up in the Banneton and shoved it in the fridge overnight, (it was trying to escape ...

I forgot to feed 10 last night after his warm. Did did it first thing this morning and already he is active to the top of the jar threatening to make an escape. Will just finish on here then nip out for some more strong flour for my bake. If I sort that this morning the loaf will get a nice long ris...

This afternoon we have a chat booked at the gym with Katie, encouraged by our Jack who uses the facilities. They have an over 60's group that will probably be beneficial for us both. Brew and a chat to see what they can offer. Interested to see what they have done with my Uncle Bobs Joiners Shop at...

I have taken 10 out of the fridge for a warm. Will make some Naan's before lunch today and that will be it for cooking for us. We will be out for tea, Mexican at Wax and Taps on the Town Square, they are having a fund raiser for Bosom Friends so it will be a pleasure to support. Click to enlarge 302...

My last post reminds me that I need to lift 10 out of the fridge for his weekly warm and feed. I will be making some replacement Naans from the discard and another loaf after I have fed him up. 1 x 500g flour sour dough loaf just last about a week, we are at the far end of last weeks bake today.
