I've baked many cakes in my time but not until the past few weeks have I baked bread! The first loaf was tasty but pretty dense, but they've improved from there. My Grandma said the latest one looked like it was from an advert. Coming from a Grandma, I think that means that skill has been mastered!

Oh I did some hot cross buns too. They contain yeast so I think they count as bread :D

* Yes it is sourdough. I am either very on-trend or a d!ckhead depending on your point of view.

I have rediscovered playing the dilruba (classical Indian instrument) which I used to play few years ago but have been out of practice over the past couple of years.

Here is me practicing again 😁

Nice! Can we hear a recording Amandeep?

I've been learning ways to make extra space to plant vege, in a garden that is all pavement!


And have enjoyed starting to learn a couple of new pieces on the piano, which I haven't taken the time to do in years! I took an audio (I'd still class then as early attempts) but it seems you can't attach audio files on here

Wow, so many impressive skills and yummy looking food.
I've also taken up yoga, inspired by Beth, and have also been baking but nothing too adventurous. Not sure I've really done enough to qualify as a new skill yet although I did make my first dress from a true vintage pattern which had an interesting lack of instructions and markings on the pattern.
