Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Can you put freeze dried yeast in the freezer?

Scrub that. No home baked bread as the yeast is out of date.
Test it first before trying to make your loaf. Bung it into 100ml of lukewarm water with a tiny pinch of sugar and a teaspoon of flour. If it doesn’t froth up in 20 minutes then you’ll know it’s dead. If it does, you can make your bread.

Good morning we had glorious sunshine when I got up at 5.30ish. This counts as a lay in. Cloudy and dull now but I can live with that so long as it's dry. Today we are taking things easy with a visit to Brodick castle, the plan is to walk up Goat Fell tomorrow which at 2867 feet is the highest mountain on Arran. I'm told by reliable friends the 360⁰ panorama is well worthwhile. It's a 6.5 mile walk which we think will take 5-6 hours plus stops and picnic time so a rest day is important.
Cleaned the walking boots this morning as we did a couple of miles of beach walking yesterday and I'm anxious to remove any trace of salt in case it damages the uppers. A long time since Mrs P's boots gleamed as they do now.
Today's picnic is made, cheese rolls, German sausage roll, packet of crisps, grapes and Tunnocks wafer. I make a decent picnic, coffee flask next and I'm ready to go if/when Mrs P wakens. While we're in self-catering we try to avoid cafes and eating out, not completely as this is a holiday, as we need to avoid too much extra expense. From Saturday we have six nights B&B which means eating out in the evenings which will be pricey. I did buy a bottle of Arran single malt called "Robert Burns" - it was on offer in the Coop at £19.99 - bargain - and is delicious. I may pop back to see if there are still some left.
Yesterday we saw three eagles and an otter. What a result.

Morning again. Not long back a lovely 9 mile hilly walk. Had to eat my muesli before I typed as I was starving
Pleased with the speed my heart rate dropped as soon as I was over the climb. Usually a sign of reasonably good heart health. Shame about the legs!

That's a very good drop Mo. Definitely a sign of good health and fitness, well deserved with all your walking. 👏

I wanted to share these pics as I found the scene moving and beautiful. I think Lois was a young woman who died at 48 leaving a still young family. The little shrine is on an area of grass just above a rocky beach and I could almost see the kids running around. I think it was a special place for them.

Waking up to it would be nice, but waking up requires being asleep first.
Went to get up earlier, fell asleep sat on't bed. Sore neck now.
