Practice, practice, practice

After all my tripping around the country over the past two weeks, to London (Independent Podcast Awards ceremony), Leeds (VASTA Leeds Symposium, and Ruth Steinberg's Stories from the Sofa), Hull (TVC/Socials shoot) and High Wycombe (AudioDramaHub Podfest 2024), I came home on Sunday afternoon to find one quarter of a loaf in the freezer, and the huge pot of vegetable soup I'd made and slipped into the freezer before I left. So that nothing 'went off'.

So I fired up the starter (figuratively speaking) i.e. I fed it fresh flour and water, left it overnight, then yesterday I prepared the dough, and this morning I baked the fresh loaf. 

It's a wholemeal loaf, not as good as Margot's, of course. 

Then headed off to the optician's for my annual checkup (no new specs needed, nothing to be done that will help...) and then to the dentist to see if the crown that fell out and was glued back in last week (for the fhird time in a month) was stable enough to leave alone until the next time it falls out.

That soup recipe may well be my contribution to the Cookbook!
