I'm nine stone, but perhaps just a fraction undertall for that...

There's a 28 day aged hereford beef fillet steak in the fridge for tomorrow. £1.50 on yellow sticker. Don't mind if I do.

Couldn't you have been economical with the truth?

Well I'm not exactly skinny!!! I am rather undertall, you know...

Great minds think alike - that's what I'd baked.

300g wholemeal flour, 250g white flour, 50g rolled oats, 50g malted wheat flakes, tablespoon malt extract, 2 tablespoons oil, 15g DA yeast, 380g water.

You weigh your water?

You weigh your water?

Yes

I use bakers' percentages for my breads. Quantity of flour (including add-ins such as oats etc) is 100% and then everything else is worked out from that. It's just more accurate, really. Salt is always 2%, water typically varies between 60 and 65% depending on proportion of wholegrain.

I wouldn't eat the bread.

But he was hoping you'd tell him...

I’ve been reading your ongoing gastronomic exploits with an ever increasing sense of wonder, and have come to the conclusion that you eat better than Henry VIII.

Please tell me you’re 35 stone, or life just isn’t fair.

I know, I know...

But 9st at 4ft 11ins is a very different proposition from 9st at 6ft...

I'm just baking some bread.

Just the one loaf?

I rode both the recumbent and the upright bike today.

Not at the same time

You know those days when you come up with something that saves your company £250,000 a year and it gives a better product to the customer. That

The last twelve months of my hard work have come together and our customer has approved my revised design. It saves us writing huge cheques each month and secures several jobs for at least five years.

Excuse me for feeling smug, but it has all worked out rather well.
