So, who wants to help ... to rattle on in the cellar?

Flapjacks being prepared.
First attempt at sourdough starter bubbling and rising nicely (this is day 3) - satisfyingly loud “pop” when opening the jar at feeding time

I’m turning middle aged, aren’t I?

Evening all

I am fine just had a busty day

Knitting fixing friend was being visited and my knitting examined

Then we sorted the world out over several cuppas

Then dentist getting two broken feet fixed
Then watering a friends greenhouse with all their seedlings for next year so vital to look after as they earn a crust by selling plants at farmers markets

Then picking up windfall apples from their seedsavers orchard to make jelly from
Then calling to the farmer who is selling us raw milk for milk and having to wait for the ladies to supply the milk
Then back to knitting skill with my friend to learn how to retrieve dropped stitches

Then home and feed the bull and the moggies and collapse knackerated

I think I need beer

Liberal application of sunflower seeds usually works; they need the tame humans to open the bag…

Cats, in my experience, have a similar issue with tin openers.
