@phoneboy It does, doesn’t it!
Very much my era. 😂

@matigo Well I plan to freeze it either in portions, or sliced. Got to get yeast and strong flour first.

@matigo I have just been given some sourdough starter by a friend. I plan to resume making my own bread - with as little yeast as possible and no nasty preservatives. Whenever I go to my friend’s for coffee she makes sourdough scones and they don’t upset my stomach at all, unlike shop bought (or even café provided) ones.
When I was little I don’t remember moldy bread, but I do remember stale bread, which Mum always turned into delicious bread pudding.

@matigo So with all their technology Japan can't handle real-time tax deductions? That's bonkers - so in the first year of working people have to put money by against potential future unemployment and taxes owning?
Our system may not be perfect, but at least each month tax is deducted from your pay based on how much tax you should have paid at that point in the year, assuming you remain employed at that salary for the year. If you aren't, you either get a refund, or an adjustment in subsequent years. I assumed other countries took the same (sensible) approach!
@variablepulserate Good call. I had some pineapple earlier, that tasted ok. Not a lot like pineapple… I might do a food shop once I've got this concert and the Pentecost service done. Had a run-through this afternoon and by the time I'd played through the (jazzy) anthem twice I was dripping from the concentration and physical effort. Pathetic.

@sumudu Yeah, I think it probably is. Quite similar to the other time I had it (Sept 2023), but nowhere near as severe. I'm guessing some kind soul shared one of the newer Omicron variants with me. I'm feeling much better than I was, but very tired & a bit wheezy. Got a very busy/important weekend, so I've been resting up all week.

@matigo Probably a bowl of cereal for me. Everything tates rubbish with Covid. Tea tastes awful, so I've been drinking black coffee and eating Jacobs Cream Crackers. ☹

@peemee The empty space between his ears working overtime again…
Or a donation just received from a big insurance company?
@variablepulserate I very nearly put the aircon on, but have stuck to the tower fans. Think I might switch to my Summer duvet soon. That’ll send us back into a new ice age…
