Milk Bread on Freecycle Bread Machine

So I managed to get a bread machine from Leeds Freegle.  It was very dirty and it did not come with the manual.   He warned me that it may not work.

I gave it a deep clean,  and rinsed with water. 

After looking online,  I found a similar bread machine's American manual with some recipes. 

Sainsbury's gave me a milk with a fairly short date,  so I made a "sandwich bread",  with extra milk and other adjustments.

Sarah said how everyone with an old bread machine always trips the power.   Lo and behold,  power loss, it tripped the RCD.  The bread had already risen,  so I reset the power and set it to bake.

It turned out fine, we slightly struggle to get the bread out,  but we managed.

It could be my deep cleaning wetted something inside tripping the RCD.  Anyway,  round one was fine,  we are looking forward to another loaf. 

Aesop

I have heard the Fables,  but it wasn't referred as Aesop.   At Coch Castle,  some of the rooms has painting of some of the Fables. 

After learning about Aesop on BBC the Forum,  I have concluded the Fables are teaching "natural social order",  which subliminally keeps us in "our place"...

Serving the same function,  the stories are more fun then mister Confucius. 

Cloth Shopping

We used to go charity shopping on regular basis.   And I used to love Next Clearance online,  but we have been lagging the last 2 years.  And since the clothes mysteriously shrank in the closet,  I took the opportunity to replenish whilst I have a few days off. 

Supermarket Discount Con

I cannot help but think the supermarket discount is a con.  The price has all gone up, and the coupon does not really make it cheap, might as well just shop at the cheaper shop to start with.  And then some online voucher "doesn't work" when you are trying to use it whilst in shop. 

Jaw Dropping Football

My jaw is not easily dropped, nor do I normally watch football, but the English Women is doing really well in the Euro 2022, especially England v Sweden.  Hats off to them!

Housing Location Selection

In additional to sea side location,  to avoid,  I would also avoid open field,  included public park and woodland.   Human is the best fire detector indeed,  and any unoccupied area doesn't have that. 

World's Largest Female Biker Meet - 2022

So I popped by Triumph Factory for the world's largest female biker meet.  Final head count was 1549.  The weather was nice and the meet was central in the country,  it would be hard to beat in the future.
