There was a full moon, well above the western horizon at around 0715 this morning; it is clearly going to be a good day for lunatics.
For a start, I record the dismal rise of my 222nd batch of bread. The bread was made along what are now well tested lines but, for once, both first and second rise were feeble. Fortunately the bread rose well during baking and one would probably not have deduced the feebleness of the rising in the making from the final product. But odd, nevertheless. We await the 223rd batch with interest.
It now seems likely that the failure was due to a yeasty lapse. One spoon rather than the usual two. But it remains odd that the result was OK.
