Huh. Sweeter than I’d normally want a white roll to be, the end result is more like a really good scone than any scone I’ve had since going gluten-free. I’ll call that a win, @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social !
Now, if only I had access to decent clotted cream…

I finished Haldor Laxness’ Under The Glacier and started on Olga Tokarcsuk’s Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead.

My chariot has arrived. Ladies and gentleplumes, I give you: the stilliest boat on the port. Yes, it looks permanently back to front. It has a helm on the front outside of the cabin so you can steer it going the other way if you so desire.

I don’t have a picture to describe “book perturbed me so much I overslept then tried to don a sports bra as underpants”, but fortunately Mr Peach provided an enactment of the rest of my emotional state just now: burrito? Shiny things? Gimme.

My screaming soulmate here screams much less than 5-7 years ago, and causes less mayhem. He seems mostly happy to hear that one of the humans has been medically instructed to lounge around in his enclosed balcony area.
The dog is happy too - she’s not allowed in the Bird Zone unsupervised.
