Ooooh! That Apple I just ate wasn't half sharp. It's like I've dipped my tongue into acid.

I am baking bread.
Started a 30% wholegrain loaf on Saturday night (with a preferment and soaker) hoping to bake Sunday night as I was tight on bread, but my tub of DA yeast is beginning to show its age by displaying a lack of "oomph". What I put in should have done the bulk ferment in a couple of hours or so, but in the end it got so late I chucked the bowl of dough in the fridge. By this morning it was just about done, so turned it out, knocked back, shaped, proved and only now is it in the oven...
I blame the recent rash of 4p loaves in Tesco for the yeast. At that price it doesn't pay me to bake my own bread...
About to whip off the lid from the cloche and see what I've got.

Cloche lid off. (OK, I use a large chicken brick for bread).
I do not have a flat pancake in there. Instead, there is a rather fine loaf with good oven spring.
20 more mins in the oven and then we're done.

Tasha is in a very sorry state, I will not go into the gory details. She is very wobbley and has a plastic cone on her head. The vet has printed out all the details of her operation today, the care plan and what to do next, and all the relevant telephone numbers, in case there are any concerns.

I took it in and didn't fall over. Nice pub.The cavern roof in the Trip? We used to drink in there quite a bit and people used to pretty much fall over looking up
Today I'm in the 'Oldest Inn in Britain'..

I think I might prefer to look after a human patient, as they can say what they would like, and listen to reassurance. Whereas Tasha is currently wobbley, tired, and unable to settle. I foresee a disturbed night ahead.
She will want to go out, but is not allowed out with the collar on, in case she gets stuck somewhere.

Poor Tasha, I'm sure you will be a first class nurse, and she will recover quickly.

My tongue is still sore.
In other news they have just announced on our local TV that the old Exploratory is undergoing another name change. It was @Bristol but is now changing to "we the curious".
The last time they changed the name they spoilt what was a good hands on way for kids and adults to play with the experiments.
