Keep using breadmaking as a means of offloading thoughts. There is something about that kneading; even when time is short it is almost the only way I can grab some me time because I am also tackling a chore (if that makes any sense?).

Januaryitis is a nasty disease. I am fighting against it as hard as I can. Thankyou for the bread tip as medicine and I'm glad it lifted your dose of this month's gloom for the day.<br /><br />Does Head Chef's list say 2 old Blankets perhaps? Are they to keep the piggies warm?<br /><br />I wish you well in the coming year - it sounds challenging but if the depths of winter get to you I spotted bulbs peeping up under the conker tree where we'd planted them last autumn. Little green spikes were pushing above the soil in my front garden too.
