Well tomorrow, I'm delivering, a few thousand desperately needed flowers. :-X
people can now say goodbye at end of life now
though most hospitals,care homes etc don't allow flowers
funeral flowers perhaps ?
or supermarket flowers  :-\

These. :y

We're past the shortages now, Aldi have even stopped the limit on buying items. Asda shelves are stacked to the gunnels, so flowers are as good as anything.
but we are all locked in at home , so we can't do anything bad enough to warrant flowers as an apology  :-\

This weekend I'm building a new quadcopter out of a load of bits I found whilst tidying
Finally finished it. It flies, after I configured the flight controller properly  :-[.  Only tried in garden, needs another couple of test flights before I send it off over the fields ;D

Bought swmbo 16kg of the breadmaking variety yesterday, as well as 5 big buckets to store it in. Top notch stuff too. Even has Charley boys royal warrant on the sack.
Im expecting large quantities of delicious bread very soon or I wont be happy.
I deserve to get treated for spoiling her like this.
Its weird being the same age as old people !

Mrs Builder is getting better at bread NOW  :)
first attempts I wouldn't wish on anyone  ;D
did you treat the good lady to some yeast too  :-\

Certainly did. Spoilt rotten she is.

Got better than that. Just had a cheese & chive scone and a slice of the nicest bread Ive ever tasted. All straight out of the oven.

Mrs Builder makes lovely cheese scones  :) very moreish, a batch can disappear in 1 day  :-[
not the nicest bread i've tasted though  :-X  more like "edible"   ::)
she needs more practice ,she's new to bread making

This was swmbos first attempt at bread so it could have been beginners luck.
Apparently the chives for the scones were fresh from the garden which makes all the difference - so I have been told.

Mrs TB has a perfectly good breadmaker, so I expect to wake up to the smell of bread that's just ready to scoff as I roll out of bed.

But Tesco don't have flour or yeast, so that's just a pipe dream.

That's very impressive for a first attempt  :)
maybe I need to get Mrs Builder the flour with the royal warrant  :-\ what brand is it please ?

I've got mint and potatoes growing in the garden
plus lots of building materials (which are not growing OR getting smaller during lockdown)

other supermarkets available TB ,not that i've looked for for strong white flour or yest since before the lockdown
I had good stock of most things non perishable, ready for the BREXIT Apocalypse  ;D
