  I sorted  my cupboard out.
The one that contains flour,sugar, etc.
I found some bread mixes that were from 2013......
They had turned yukky!
Made some room now for the delivery of 15kgs of bread flour that is coming later today.
In need of another coffee after that↓
 My flour and food order came↓
 Then I had a phone call from my Dinner time boss to see how I am doing.....
Plenty of making, and baking, and enjoying my time at home was my answer!
20 minutes later, my lollipop 🍭 boss phoned to see how I was doing.
She is baking bread by hand.And getting good at doing it.
I said, "I cheat,I have a bread maker
and keeping the lollipop warm!"
I put all the food order away.
Now to sit outside to enjoy the sunshine↓ 
 
 Light lunch time↓
 Blue skies↓
 I walked up and down my path a few times↓
 Quick power nap.
Followed by the last of the cake I made with a cup of tea↓
 We watched the Government Press Conference.
I was listening some expects on Sky News afterwards.
Someone working in Education, suggested that Yrs 6, 10 and 12 will probably go back to school on June 1st.
