Lemon10 Feb 2016 8:39pm, 13 Feb 2016 1,893 posts	0 Lemon10 That would undoubtedly have better results than my actual baking Mazlin. :-). Online banking has always slightly scared me but today had a nice chat with the bank manager and he convinced me it's a Good Thing. And so far, I like it! I have upgraded my ISA online to get a better interest rate this afternoon from the comfort of my armchair.

I am in awe as I seem to be 'tone deaf' to languages of all kinds. I have read back pages of new things - running, swimming and lots of eating! However, the winner does have to be Jude with the his and hers trisuits and race faces!!

becca7 Feb 2016 8:54pm, 13 Feb 2016 6,611 posts	0 becca7 Bit late with mine. I wish I could say that for the first time I went running straight after parkrun (run directing), rather than a couple of hours later, but I fell asleep on the sofa with the cat, as usual. Today's new thing was a recipe, "amaranth stuffed mushrooms with za'atar and pine nuts" by Yotam Ottolenghi from the Guardian last week (except I didn't have pine nuts so used sesame seeds instead). Very nice it was and pretty straightforward for one of his recipes (except he put the steps in an unhelpful order).
