anyone else remember the iTunes visualiser?? I used to LOVE putting this on to some Tchaikovsky ballet music. it was so mesmerising.

This is not a bread account, but I successfully replicated (and improved on!) my last sourdough loaf with this gorgeous open crumb. Looks like pushing the bulk ferment really works!!

after my starter dying, after months of trying so many techniques in our crappy oven to try and get a sexy ear on my sourdough loaf, of course it happened by accident as I left the dough out too long at the bulk fermentation stage. Probably won’t be able to replicate but hey ho!!!!

Just presented my poster at UKIS in York. It’s part of my PhD research looking at the perceptual effect of telephone quality recordings on the relationship between voice quality and voice similarity. You can download it here if you’re interested! bit.ly/paverukis
Thanks all for the chats

plants: repotted. deer: spotted. data: collected. abstract: written. Good week!!

experimenting with lower hydration after trouble getting my loaves to keep their shape. paid off!!
