Of Baking, and Saturn, and Storms

Tuesday - The Great British Bake-Off
     Today there were only 6 of the originals left, coping with increasingly difficult challenges - choux pastry and Religeuses.  Choux pastry!  I hardly ever bake with it because it's such mincing awful stuff.  Not only that, they were in the Technical challenge bit, so - little in the way of depth in the instructions. And then puff pastry - and mille feuilles.  Tricky stuff.  Tricky stuff against the clock with the judges strolling around being  - judgemental.  How glad I am to sit, drink tea and watch rather than be involved.
Not a Blanket - pastry being prepared.


Those Damn Logic Puzzles!
     I'm up to number 27 out of over 300, managing about two of every three.  Conrad finds the challenge interesting, if not a little beguiling.  A success inspires wanting to manage just another one - and then it's half ten at night.
     Is there time for one last - No!  There's a blog to get through!
Too Much Logic Puzzle: the awful consequence


Next Time It Rains
     Just think of those poor unfortunates on Saturn.  Herewith the link:

A storm as big as Europe?  And it looks like one of the lower depths of Hades.  Even though it's cold.  Very very cold.

Ah, nearly eleven o'clock.  Conrad - unlike you whippersnappers - needs his beauty sleep.  Farewell!
