We have sunshine, but on letting the dog out it is COLD

I forgot to mention that we tried to make some bread yesterday from what we had lying around in our cupboard,as I had run out of bread .
We found some yeast which had a sell by date of 2017.
It tastes fine, a bit on the hard side and looks a bit like a discus that they throw in the Olympics. I could probably use it to knock out a few Wood Pigeons if food becomes scarce. Could also be used to tip masonry drills !

I have earache this morning, think it was caused by the East wind yesterday when I was out with the dog.

Wind is a chilly one..
Lovely bright morning ,I may do a bit in the garden later..

Just been out with the dog, 3 mile walk, was strange to see people cross the road rather than walking in the same footpath

Morning all, coffee tastes good again. That's a relief.

I’ve just got back from a run.

I had another email from Mike at Sainsbury’s today, which was nice.

I don't mind feeding 'our' hedgehogs, but I wish they didn't leave little piles of poo on the doorstep as a token of their appreciation.. 💩

Post It Note news flash.....

I bought some new Post It notes a few days ago. Imagine my surprise when I found that they have no, yes, NO gummy bit on the back to stick them on the fridge door!!
😲

Called that a notepad, back in the day.

The most annoying thing about moving house is that, no matter how carefully you label the boxes, you inevitably find yourself searching through at least half a dozen boxes for one small item you happen to need. I've had this several times over the last 2 weekends.
Anyway, the house is starting to look liveable, which is good, because I'll be working from home starting next week, and thus spending a lot of time in the house.

My feet hurt, because I've been doing a lot of exploratory (and shopping related) walking around my new neighbourhood last weekend and this one. The area is very hilly, even more so than my previous area, which I like: there's hills and trees everywhere. It's also nice living in a suburb with a French name: Montmorency. It was named after an early farm, which itself was named after Montmorency not far north of Paris. In a humorous coincidence, the shower in my new rental has a French style shower head: attached to a long, flexible cord, the shower head fits into a small cradle attached to the side of the shower recess. I saw a lot of these in my visits to France.

We used to have one of those, quite popular in the States as well.
Montmorency has an illustrious history, also.

Didn't sleep too good, so feeling a bit tortie-ish. But I have done a load of laundry and put my flatbed scanner away.

Going to spend the afternoon working on my painting and I may even go for another short bike ride.

It is lovely and sunny here, but just a tad nippy.

Despite the ridiculous hat, worn indoors, this gentleman seemed to get good results.

When you make your own bread, it is an all-day process, due to the waiting times. Once you are going, though, a lot can be made in that day.

That looks like the bread of haste from the time of the Exodus.
