Sourdough....sourface


It feels like the night before the first day back at school tonight.
Sitges seems a million miles away.
I'm back to work tomorrow!
I've spent the day getting Dorothy used to our routines and to Albert who is watching the new girl with very narrow eyes.
Dorothy is a feisty madam who is not shy at challenging the other girls where food and my attention is involved .
Mary is in too minds biting back
Winnie just can't be arsed.
The sexy bearded dog walker has been introduced and was immediately smitten with her delicate good looks.
She lay shyly on her tummy when he boomed his hellos and wagged her stump tail

He played with the dogs and treated them to strips of beef which he had secreted in his pockets after his lunch.....he played as I kneeded sourdough just after it's proving

I caught up with my solicitor and mediator and swapped info on my divorce for photos of Dotty
and as the rain fell on a murky Trelawnyd I daydreamed I was back in Catalonia

  9. Sometimes daydreaming you're back somewhere else is the only way to get through things, especially when sunshine, good foods and lots of snogging were involved 😄

    You can't beat a lovely fresh sourdough loaf with lashings of butter to help a little bit though.

  10. You are a man of varied interests. Perhaps your next memoirs shall be titled Bulldogs Under The Catalonia Sun.

    Hang in there, you'll manage the shift with sour dough bread to carry you through. Hope the cottage is still standing when you return! Is the hospice site close enough to the cottage that you could go home on your lunch or dinner break?

    I'll have to send you the recipe DH uses for no-knead bread that is delicious.

    Hugs!

  13. Some days reality is the pits.

    Fresh bread is a good start at an antidote, though.

  16. Did you make your own starter, or did someone give you some? It does look very good.

  17. And now I’ll daydream that Catalonia needs a hospice nurse and would do anything to get you there.

  18. I have a new dog walker today too John - Jane - sadly my last lady died a fortnight ago very suddenly and Tess has been missing her greatly. Jane has just been and has taken Tess (well waterproofed) off in the pouring rain along with a Setter, an Airedale, a Spaniel and another Terrier. We whall see!!! But she is a lovely doggy lady so hopefully all will be well. x

  24. Back to routine..with happy thoughts.
    How do you get your sourdough like that?! Mine is a little more towards rye bread texture. Still tastes good, however it looks! Whose recipe do you use?

  25. like gz i would like to know your recipe, please share maybe on a post if you have time as I bet loads of us will be asking. that's the great thing about holidays - nothing can take them away (except alzheimers I suppose!).
