Windows are all frosted up with condensation this morning so the doors are open to help with that before I get up and get cracking with the Karcher. That is the one problem with having efficient curtaining, the heavy linings don't let that warm wet air escape back into the room and as soon as the cold hits the other side... That will be one element of my flat the landlords will not be changing when they refurbish this flat. I'll have the new kitchen and bathroom, but they can keep their nasty thin curtains - and I'll fight to keep my beautiful polished floors too, in preference to their cheap plastic carpeting. Though, it will be interesting to see if they opt for wool after the govermment's grant system for social housing. That is one Nat programme I support, our wool industry needs the boost.
I did a bit of baking yesterday, using a recipe from the internet that was an awful let down. Don't know what I did wrong but it was a complete failure, first time that's happened for decades, complete waste of ingredients. Back to the old family cookbooks for me! When they pulled out the hot water tank there was an ancient cookbook behind it, 70s I'm guessing, full of contributed recipes from all over the country complete with the names of contributors, and old ads with five numeral phone numbers.
Those were the days...
