Ok, love - always here if you need a hand

Sleep well

Hi Rich, how's your day ? I can't talk like a , hence the blank post in your journal

There must be a way; it is 'International' after all. I wonder if the residents of Ecuador, Bhutan and Andorra are allowed to join in?

Day was pretty good , got everything done, had a and a short nap and then went out for dinner - feel quite relaxed now

Hi Rich, hope you're enjoying your day off
I'll have to go to a parents evening tonight
I usually manage to forget about them, but my son already reminded me of it earlier

Yes, it's not bad - I'm being fairly idle, to be honest; might be going to play snooker later and am also considering baking a cake, which I've never done before, just for something interesting to do! first, though

Baking a cake is interesting ? If you want to do something interesting AND worthwhile, you should bake a bread

Got loads of bread - and anyway, I'm the Bronze Age Bread Guy already A3613899

Indeed , you are Are you sure they had salt back then ? And from what I've heard, spelt was far more common than wheat
I guess you're liucky that I wasn't involved in PR back then

I refer the honourable lady to the first paragraph...

'...any attempt to recreate a recipe is flawed from the start.... if Bronze Age people made bread, this is the closest approximation we have of recreating it'

So there

Might give the banana cake recipe a go from halfway down here A765993 - what do you think?

Sounds good, you're slim so the calories don't matter, but takes very long - two hours in the fridge

That's ok - I've got all night

Mind you, that's the first time I've been called slim for a while

Hmmm, but that's what I recall from the wintermeet - but then it was dark in the pub

Too many curries, beers, fish and chips and burgers and less exercise are starting to make me a Chunkyrich!

Right, I might tackle some bread, too

Not the most exciting day of my life, perhaps, but I'm going to enjoy the evening!

'Chunkyrich' - I was only yesterday talking about the BMI with my son, after they told in the news about the new rules for the fashion fair in Spain. I could hardly belive mine was so low, it doesn't feel all that low
I think I'd rather bake some bread than going to school, your evening sounds much more exciting than mine will be

Well, I'm not too bad yet, but I need to do some exercise or cut back bad foods, or both sooner rather than later. Tomorrow of course; today it will be the usual in the snooker hall with any luck. Hard to make lifestyle changes, isn't it? I don't recall thinking you had a BMI problem at the Meet, but as you say, it was quite dark

I'm looking forward to my baking escapades now, best go and get some ingredients soon, eh?

Yes, if you want to have a chance to eat your cake tonight, I guess you'd better go and shop the ingredients so that you can start. And I don't have a BMI problem, because I neither bake, nor do I eat cakes

Just got all the stuff for it

Now I've just got to wait for my cousin to call, because I know if I get underway right now he's bound to phone at a key moment. Might start mixing

The answer to that is: a wireless phone and multitasking

Now come on; you know multitasking to a man means 'drinking and watching the football simultaneously'

What if he phones just as I put the in the oven? Then I won't be able to go and meet him as I'll have to wait for the cake! Life is so complicated
