I made a little video that I am calling a micro moment of flow 😊

I should have put an 😂 emoji after that last statement for anyone who thought I might be being a bit judgemental 😁

To not read.
But also to be indifferent to stationery 📒 🗒️ 🖊️ 📔 ✒️ ✏️ 🩵

It tells quite a narrow story for sure.

Totally agree. I recall reading about Bromden’s story somewhere a few years ago and thinking his distress made a lot of sense in the context of what he experienced.

Haha I know what you mean, I’ve stopped wearing mine in defiance against my age 😁

Ah thanks for the recipe! I was using a recipe from a site called ‘Tasty’ but usually nearly every cake/biscuit recipe I use comes from that bbcgoodfood site. I find they are usually pretty good.
If I have a success I will take a victory piccie and post on here 😁
🤩

Haha that’s what happen to mine every time! I’ve tried not melting the butter, adding more flour, lowering the heat, increasing the heat, reducing the cooking time.

Thanks for the tip - I will try this! 🍪 😁

How do you get them to not spread too thinly when baking? This always seems to happen to my soft choc cookies.🍪

Oh I LOVE this song and video - great to see it again! ❤️

Are we really still having this issue?
When someone follows you, that doesn't mean you jump into their DM's and try to sell your book, or marketing package, or editing services, etc.
This gets an instant block.
How is this even still a thing that people don't understand?

Big mug of tea here 👍🏼
