In a strange turn of events I had LOADS of sleep and didn't have the urge to dive straight into doing things. I didn't get up until 09:30. Today was backing day and an attempt to try and replicate the mistake from last week to see if I could get the rolls all light and bread like. The consistency was very similar (although not exactly the same) so I was hopeful that I was somewhere in the region.
While the rolls were in the oven I chilled with a coffee and listened to Public Enemy's new album What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down? It's really good, lot's of guests contributing such Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, George Clinton, Run DMC, Nas and Ice-T.
Rolls looked good and felt very similar once taken out of the oven. Now I await the tasting for confirmation!
Before having breakfast/lunch we drove to Oxleas Wood for a nice walk as there has been a sever lack of exercise during self isolation. It was a nice cool day and although overcast there was no rain to spoil things.
It's really nice seeing all the autumn colours coming into play now.
On our return we had a huge breakfast and caught up with game five of the Stanley Cup Final between Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning. With Lighting leading the series 3 - 1 this could be the very last game of the season. We were hoping for a Stars bounce back as we didn't want Lightning to win the Stanley Cup and we also wanted to see more hockey! The first period was very cagey but it ended with Stars leading 1 - 0. Second period ended tied 1 - 1 so this was still anybody's game, No goal in overtime so the game remained tied 1 - 1 and we were into second overtime, At 09:23 in overtime two a very tired Stars banged one home to win the game 2 - 1 and keep their hopes alive. Lightning now lead the series 3 - 2. Game six is on Monday!
After that excitement we watched Magnum Dopus: The Making Of Jay And Silent Bob Reboot. A very interesting and heart warming documentary from Kevin Smith.
Next up was Get Thrashed, a documentary on the history of thrash metal.
