An icy blast

I had household chores to do while Mr MacD baked his sourdough loaves, which turned out extra specially good - all to do with the whey from my cheese making, of course! 

Later I sat down and set up a spreadsheet to sketch out dates and destinations for a proposed trip next year, while Mr MacD made soup for lunch - it was definitely a soup day.

After a big clean up in the kitchen we ventured out for a walk.  It had been raining on and off for most of the day and there was a bitterly cold wind.  About half way round our planned route the rain started again and, as luck would have it, a bus turned up at the bus stop we were sheltering in, so we hopped on and were soon back home.

I made a brine, popped my Feta cheese into two containers and covered it with the brine.  It will be ready to use in a few days. That done, I made another batch of yoghurt, which will set overnight and be ready to go into the fridge in the morning.

As we walked along Melanesia Road I remembered a mural at the back of a small block of shops, so popped around and took a photo for today’s blip. It’s not the best mural I’ve ever seen, but it’s quite fun and nothing else had caught my eye.
