So the non mask wearers have covid - whoever would have thought!
It's eldest great grandson's 5th birthday tomorrow & granddaughter asked me to make some cream puffs, so yesterday I set about it, made three batches. Not one of the damn things rose properly so decided that perhaps the flour had been sitting in the cupboard a bit too long, or the eggs were a large size which might have made the mix wrong. So this morning I went out to get both, in the rain. Which stopped approximately 10 seconds after I came home.
More cream puffs made - & the next two batches had the same trouble. If I hadn't had the next ready I might have given up at that point but lucky I didn't because that one was perfect, as was the next. Excellent, thought my luck had changed, but no - the next lot were duds as well. The dog - & the birds- will be happy about it anyway.
And the sun's finally come out.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
