Inspired by Chris Aldrich to at least peek at Marie Kondo, the space-saving alone is worth the price of admission. Do all those T-shirts spark joy in me? Maybe not, but that's a task for another day.

Apparently it is Real Bread Week. For me, that's no different from every other week. But to celebrate I embarked, last night, on a repeat of "that dark sour bread" I first tried about a year ago. This time, the whole rye berries are, I hope, softening a bit in the Thermos. It's a long process, and there probably won't be too much to see for at least another 24 hours, maybe 36. Still within the week though.

The clematis has done really well this year. But it seems to have a fear of heights and won't climb.

Well, that was dumb. Put bread onto cold casserole lid and of course it stuck. Silly me. There's no problem usually with a hot casserole. Will still taste good, I'm sure.
