1 - How to make puff pastry
2 - That 11 pm is not a good time to start making puff pastry.

One Imperial gallon of fluid, spread out over a square metre, will form a layer 4.5mm deep. A handy number to know in emergencies.

My skin is probably around 1.65 square metres, so where did the rest of the duck fat go? There’s only about 250ml in the bowl…

Yes, but really, you shouldn’t be mixing your units like that. We need to know how many inches deep it would be spread over a square yard, if it’s an imperial gallon you’ve been and gone and spilled. It’s just confusing otherwise.

I agree TFM
I have enough problems without trying to convert imperial units into metric so I can work out weights and measures
I am a bit tearful here
B’s wee girl is a gifted artist who won a competition for the whole of the country in her age group in the summer
I saw it and told her that I would buy it when she was ready to sell it
G had it in her shop window and I mentioned that I thought it was superb artwork
I also told B that I meant when I said I wanted to buy it
I opened my parcel from G today and found the painting 
Titled
“Rainy Days “
It’s a pair of wellies left out in the rain viewe

It’s a pair of wellies left out in the rain viewed from inside the house
How a 13 year old captured the wellies and the rain drips on the outside of the glass is baffling to me
However I am so glad my friends ganged up on me

Been to drop a bit of ham up to H and husband
It’s getting a bit parky out there

As they are as remote as us 3 miles away makes them our neighbours
I will be making extra food and dropping it up to them as C is working their smallholding and H is confined to the house unable to stand to do anything
They are always there when we need help so it’s returning their care for us
I hope they like what I feed them in the coming weeks
