pensnestI discovered Overnight Oats last Saturday morning (Waterstones café, Blueberry, delicious), and have since started making my own. This morning's is based on my home-developed keffir (semi-skimmed dairy) with blueberries and raspberries, plus a few broken walnuts, and it is excellent!

Have today and yesterday been baking again, although perhaps a Tiffin, which never goes near the oven, does not count. I found a recipe for two-ingredient peanut butter cookies (the other is icing sugar) and made a half quantity. Not unexpectedly they taste of sweet peanut butter, but they seem to cohere reasonably and if you like peanut butter, they're quite good. And very easy. But getting them to rehearsal intact may be quite the challenge.

A Muntjac has been getting into the garden. I darkly suspect it of being able to teleport, because it—or they—will run, when challenged, to the ivy hedge at the far end of the garden and then... disappear. I have many new plants in the garden, most of them food, and I do not wish them to be eaten by rogue deer. But we cannot find the hole in the fence!
*
It has been raining! Every day for several, in fits and starts. Right now the sky is bright, but an hour from now it may be pouring again. At rehearsal last night we were singing Til I Hear You Sing and as the voices crescendoed, suddenly the rain came down *hard*. Very dramatic.

I see I am showing off my punctuation today.
