Did lots of overnight rising breads too. Prep the dough at night, early morning shape, and a mid morning bake. Usually we’d chat during oven time, but otherwise we’d just hop on the call for 5-10 mins for the early steps.

He’d share the recipe a week ahead of time so we could arrange to have all the ingredients. Occasionally that meant a letterbox drop of yeast because it was so hard to come by.
We learned a good website for yeast conversions cuz only instant was available…

I saw an NZTA advisory to just use the western motorway instead of the northern motorway and loop around if you’re going to the city FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. It’s gonna be bonkers.

MOTAT is still my favourite. Lots of interactive exhibits of old technology.
But prepare your soul for the 90s / early 2000s section. I was NOT prepared for that on my last visit 😂😅

Gus will very gently take a carrot when offered, and put it in his toy box. He does not understand them at all.

Bernard used to be pretty afraid of the common areas of the apartment building, so he didn’t try to sneak out. But he LOVES walking in our garden so he’s becoming a bit of a menace. I’m taking him out three times a week and it’s not enough for him 😅

We got the most insane quote to get screens installed. We’re breaking it up in to three parts so it’s more affordable.
I was telling my American friends and they were horrified. It’s just so non standard they can charge an armload for it.

If we could throw in some mandatory registration and neutering for house cats that would be primo.
