Had my pneumonia vaccine and diabetes blood test this morning. Nurse was very kind and thoughtful. I didn’t pass out, although the blood test was quite painful. Now I have vaccine side effects to look forward to later…

Years ago, I would grab a Greggs sausage roll every morning for breakfast on the way into work.

Is this the end for Greggs sausage rolls?

Our little tree now has lights.

Kids were excited but chilling out now to carols.

Making pizza.

Dough has risen once, now going back under the cling film to rise again.

Used wholemeal bread flour as I didn’t have any of my usual white. Didn’t use as much semolina flour as usual, either, but what was leftover. Mainly pasta flour and some white rye.

Salt, sugar, honey, olive oil all added to the mix (along with yeast and hand hot water, obvs).

A round ball of dough rests in a mixing bowl, showing some surface cracks.

Kids decorated our little xmas tree, but I left the batteries in the lights all year, so they’re ruined.

I think I might have binned the star lights I usually hang in the window - a relief as they cause a disproportionate amount of stress untangling and hanging them.

“Volcano with exploding baked bean and cheese lava” for lunch.

Big kid is getting one of his five a day.

Little kid not interested (despite his love of volcanoes, lava and baked beans).
