2023 - What I did today

I baked 3 nice looking loaves today. I don't know why they can be so variable when I use exactly the same ingredients each time. Sometimes they stay small and dont seem to want to rise or if they do rise, they have a big bubble of gas just under the top crust. I then watered half the vegetable garden, weeded half the fruit cage that I haven't looked at all this year and pruned half of the cherry trees that were poking through the roof. The roof needs fixing before the red currants start to ripen and I started constructing a cover for the strawberry bed, so a day of jobs half done.
