Gert will be interested to hear what you think of the bags.  Are they meant to store the bread?

Had to buy another freezer today, wish they would make them to last longer ??? ???

Re wool socks, I knit them for DH.  Takes me about 2 weeks for a pair, he loves them for the winter.

Must start a loaf tonight and we will see. You could store Anything in them or could be a decorator item. I like the feel.

You are very clever Marie. I have tried knitting socks and just can't get it together. You have one lucky DH.  :D

Gert the bag arrived today. I'm liking it but have no bread to store in it. Typical!

Karen thanks for the web link. I think some of those socks may be coming my way.

I went to my usual coffee shop yesterday and asked if they sold the beans (as I like the flavour of their coffee). They weren't allowed as a part of their contract, so the barista suggested I go online... So I ordered the beans in the time it took to wait for my coffee, and they arrived today,  only 29 hours later :) Great service!
Sorry if it is a massive pic,  I can't tell when using tapatalk (on the up side you can see the brand of beans if you are interested).
I have a Facebook page with all things cooking, you'll find it here: https://www.facebook.com/What-Amber-Ate-1097437023601587/

Had to pay a quick visit to Melb today and had an hour to fill in.  Guess what I bought at readings?  But I did resist 2 others that I really liked?
The BBQ one is for DD,  not so happy with it but has some interesting drinks.  One of which I will make for the non alchy drinkers.   The green kitchen,  I have their 2 apps.    The 5.2 diet book is much better than the others that I have,  and as the photos of the food are excellent ,  I will probably use it.

Jamberie, excellent service. I love a good coffee.
Achookwoman, I try so hard to resist buying cookery books. I try to hire them from the library and if I borrow one I really like I'd then go ahead and buy it.  So difficult to resist though.

I bought an electric pasta machine from Aldi today reduced to $49.99. I did say no more gadgets but couldn't resist!

I can't wait to browse your bookcase Chookie, being surrounded by so many books I don't have will be delightful.

Judy,  you won't know where to start.  Unless you are so exhausted ,  you may just collapse into bed.

I love Readings. Each time I get to Melbourne I try and visit. I even know my way by myself now, and which trams to catch.

It sounds like you and Ral are going to tire us out Chookie.
