Hot cross buns!

I baked hot cross buns today- my first time baking with yeast and what a great success! Chef Shane Smith on Facebook has some great easy recipes.

I'd like to come out of this lockdown having improved my baking and cooking skills...with a few new recipes up my sleeve. Going to try and cook/bake as much as possible. Half the country must have the same idea as the baking aisles in the shops always seem to be cleared out! Luckily today Tesco was freshly stocked so I got my hands on some precious yeast 😁 and no queue to get in either!

Went for a walk on the pier with Paul this morning. Got half way and had to turn around because I didn't bring a coat and got frozen!
Moral of the story = Just because it's sunny doesn't mean it's warm!

I met Garrett while I was on my way out the door to collect my violin from Mums. We went for a walk around the estate while keeping our 2 meter distance! It was nice to hang out with someone different for a change! He is finding it tough being in the apartment on his own...although he also said it definitely has its pros!

I had planned on recording my section for our lockdown quartet today but I got side tracked binge watching Man Hunt instead! Must get to it tomorrow if work isn't too busy.

Had another virtual Pete session at lunchtime today. I'm loving the classes. Even though the banter levels are lower than the live versions it's still nice to keep the Pete routine going & it's another chance to catch up with people outside my immediate family!

I also learned an Oti Mabuse dance routine today for the first time! She is doing evening dance classes a few times each week - today's theme was Beyonce! Mia told me the video should never be allowed to see the light of day haha!Leggi altro
