What have you been doing today?

[ReganAndCarter]

Fixed a boiler this morning

Not helped by the fact that the tenants can. Barely speak English

French?

Nice! I can only eat sourdough because of my intolerances (no, not the intolerances I bang on about on here). My guts don't like normal bread. Best SD I found was from local bakers when staying over in Czech Rep. Would murder for a pair of loaves like yours.

 

[Bod ...]

Fantastic, I’d love to do that.

I’m going to start making sourdough this year, sadly can’t for a few months whilst got huge DIY list to get through first.

Mayfield Bakery. I think it's Harlow, bit out towards Sheering.


Can't claim it's all mine. I had a little help


£125 for about 4½ hours. Coffee and lunch included

You could do the same day as Mottie. I'll take you both out for a coffee before. How nice would that be?

I'm doing another couple loathe today at homr from the dough I created yesterday.


I'm not expecting great results as I'm not sure I've followed his instructions to the T, so let's see.

 

[Mottie]

Chucked some seed out for the gang this morning. They were nowhere to be seen but like vultures, one comes down and within minutes they're all down.

Popped over the allotment for the first bit of serious work - digging, weeding, mulching etc. Found plenty of snails - they went over the river bank (I can’t bear killing them like others do over there) and I found a nice leopard slug - they're the good guys. They eat dead foliage and…..other slugs!

At home now, helping Mrs Mottie with her upholstery project - I’m the chief stapleman - removed about five hundred of the little buggers and re-stapled them when the fabric and lining was fitted. My hand is killing me!

Did some exercise.
Mowed the lawn.
Cut the lower branches from a variegated holly tree, to better let the low morning sun into my lounge and kitchen.
Dad taxi.

Just watching the end of the football, before going out for curry

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Getting a free washing machine that's less than a year old, just as mine is on it's last legs. How often do you get lucky timing like that? Nice one too, a Hoover in graphite, 8Kg load - cost £350 approx 9 months ago. Unmarked and like new. Friend has a few rental properties and is selling one. Completes next week and wanted the machine shifted. Fits lovely in the back of my van. Well pleased!

All done. New from Laura Ashley, £600. Secondhand, £70, end of roll Laura Ashley fabric £40 with more than enough for Mrs Mottie to make some arm covers (she is a wiz with a sewing machine), total saving, £490. Bargain!

However it was pretty good to eat.

 

[Mottie]

However it was pretty good to eat.

I mentioned to Mrs Mottie that I was thinking of going on a sourdough course and that I might take our daughter. She then tells me that she has been on one and just couldn’t get the consistency right. She's normally very good at baking too. I bought a sourdough loaf from Sainsbury’s today for our lunch. £2.30

Supermarket sourdough are fake.

No good. Dont buy them.


As for consistency , I have never baked, and I feel confident that I will do good bread from scratch, down to Gio's teaching.

We are on short name term's.
He calls me Bo. I think B is just too short.

I explained that I used to be known as Bodd, but freinds started calling me Bod, so don't want to loose too many letters. Otherwise I'll be like Prince.
