You lot are making my mouth water.... I love making and eating bread but know from bitter experience that it's the worst thing I can do for my diet.....
I've seen me bake a loaf and eat nearly all of it buttered and with jam or marmalade before it has cooled.....
Get thee behind me!
Morning
Thats me exactly Stanley, no lovely bread for me as I am fighting madly on the pre diabetic scale. I am hoping the swimming is going to help with that .
This morning is french at Haslingden. This afternoon Lucy can no longer come as she had forgotten she had a dental appointment after school. So the dining room we restored to tidy so we could get to the dining room table this afternoon for cutting out can be disrupted again as Bob only has the short wall with the window left. This means moving the corner cabinet which luckily contains only a few bits and pieces like serving bowls, my great aunts tea set , and the smaller Toby Jugs of my Toby Jug collection.
The contents of the other cabinet are now washed and replaced with two boxes of stuff packed for a charity shop. There are some very nice vintage Edwardian glasses which I hope they can get a good price for. The charity shop I worked for pre covid used to ebay things like that. There is some silver ware too like candlesticks, but we no longer entertain like that. All our friends are in agreement that it is less hassle at our age to go out for a meal together than spend all day cooking and then washing up into the early hours . I have inherited some crystal candlesticks which I can always use if I want to, no need to keep cleaning them . Even with so many items removed the cupboard is still full mainly my Toby Jug collection and Bobs whiskey bottles. Not that he drinks much whiskey but he does get a lot as presents.
Today I think the weather is ok this morning but it may rain this afternoon. Have a good day all
. Don’t need to say Enjoy.
