Today is my attempt to bake sourdough in the @lecreuset.bsky.social bread oven. The sticky stuff has made it as far as the proving basket.

Has to be the most pleasing quarter ever, suddenly the planets aligned and a quarter peal occured. @tiedbell.bsky.social, an awesome performance on 3-4. Incidentally I was stuttering over saying β€œgo Plain Hunt” At juniors last night.

Very pleasing. I approve of the #NCFC scarf. And hand bells too. I sometimes feel handbells are sewn to my hands.

Decorating the tree for the Christmas Tree Festival. That’s after I’d done my prep. Some super ringing this morning alternating CC with Plain Bob Minor and we braved a touch. Over coffee we discussed dog breeding, horse breeding, how much electricity you need to play the organ and tax returns.

A trip to the tall tower. Very much enjoyed it and chuffed to bits to have called it. What’s next I wonder?

Not many of us have called a quarter at said scary tower. I think there might only be three of us. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
