The spare bedroom built in wardrobeI like the "Make ?? high - I can reach into it without steps" and it looks like Bob's place is in the bottom left part of the cupboard..
Good luck making head or tail of that

My second something new for the week. I’ve been polishing. No not just house work ( although that does need doing). Boat shuttles for a loom.

Hopefully you can see a slight difference.

First time we played a game over the phone with our grandson. 'Genius Square', a cross between tetras and noughts&crosses. Each game takes roughly a minute. It's a bit dear at £17.

Week 3
This week is a bit feeble, but as the heated props are up and running, I put a lemon seed (lemon drizzle is this week's cake) on some damp paper in a plastic bag to see what might happen!

New things week 3
Following on from last week's pinhead oatmeal, I found cooking up small batches tedious so put a generous amount in the slow cooker and left it to percolate. Turned out fine but if I do it again will reduce cooking time and reduce liquid.
Set up grow light thingy.

Week 3 - Followed a Recipe (almost).
Its time to explore my Hodmedod's so I've started with the thing I have the most of - Split Yellow peas.
https://hodmedods.co.uk/blogs/recipes/dal-saag-split-yellow-pea-and-spinach-dal?_pos=1&_sid=d6dcf24d4&_ss=r
Couldn't follow the recipe exactly as I didn't have any fresh ginger (used powdered instead); no dried chillies or garlic. I do have elephant garlic but I forgot it at the time.
Also all my spices were years out of date. Haven't added any spinach yet - there's some on the GH and chard - must pick some before this evening's meal.
I burnt the cumin seeds -they're black - and a litre of water for the peas was way too much!! I knew there was a reason why I don't try to cook from a recipe.
I used the strained pea water, to make pea soup for lunch with some leftover mashed potato from last night.

That looks nice. I’ve bookmarked that. I’ve got chickpeas , not split though. I’ll have to wait until my spinach grows.

Week 3
I cleaned the filter on my Hoover. That doesn’t happen often
RE: 2021 - 52 weeks of doing something different - JJB - 21-01-2021
^^^^ I don't either, come to think of it, I don't use my Hoover often
RE: 2021 - 52 weeks of doing something different - Veggie - 21-01-2021
^^^^ That could be your Challenge for this week JJB
PS What's a Hoover????
