Following President Trumps recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Palestinians on the West bank went on strike and demonstrations began. Predictably this led to 31 Palestinians injured, rockets fired at Israel, and Israeli retaliation.Negotiations are continuing into the night on the EU - UK solutions to the Irish border. UK and EU sounding more positive, apparently wording agreed that Westminster DUP team finds acceptable. This still needs to be confirmed with the DUP in Belfast.
New multi-billion pound aircraft giant carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth commissioned by the Queen. The fighter jets promised for the ship are getting more expensive by the day, due to the pound's devaluation - they are bought in dollars.
Camilla sourdough had been languishing in the fridge for a fortnight and therefore in danger of dying. Last night, refreshed the culture, placed half in the fridge and another half weighing 300 g was allowed to recover overnight at room temperature (about 17 deg C). Today, made the culture up to a 500 g mixed wholemeal and white bread flour, placed in a bread tin and allowed to rise over the next 8 h till doubled in size. Baked and cooled, had two slices of this delicious, tasty, moist sourdough loaf.
Otherwise spent the morning taking photos of photo prints for a family history in production and the afternoon on final edits on a children's book. Went to the Milton Artists and Craftists meeting. A small select group today with Minoan dolphins being painted on one side of the table, cross stitch started on another and mosaics rounding off the set. I've been working on an alphabet in pen and ink and managed to complete C.
