Oh dear, billytea. That kind of near miss will stay with you. School pickup really is a fraught situation. I'm grateful all will recover.

billytea, glad it wasn't worse.
In re bread - I used to bake a lot and I remember making what was called Swedish rye bread - it had oranges and, I think, raisins and I believe it included molasses. It was yum.

If I make bread again I'll likely use the bread maker for the kneading and hold times, then bake it in the oven. I don't like the size and shape of the bread maker results. I want it in a normal loaf pan, or laid out on a stone. Right now I don't make it because the aroma convinces me that a loaf is clearly a single serving.

Yikes, billytea! Very glad it wasn't worse.

And, in news from Australia, why did the koala cross the road ... or at least try to.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yikes, billytea! I join the chorus of "glad it wasn't worse."
thank goodness for seatbelts and airbags
Hear, hear!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, billytea, that sounds awful for everyone. I'm so glad it wasn't worse, but still. That's plenty bad enough.

Things I am jealous of: Epic's trivia night full of HP and Friends instead of completely obscure STEM questions (which the lab assistants did okay on, but even they weren't great; these were like a US history trivia night focusing exclusively on John Jay's childhood tutors), and shrift's rye bread.

Ha! Yeah.
billytea, I'm glad it was no worse, but that's understandably upsetting.
It's going to 50 whole Fahrenheit degrees here today. Practically spring!

Unrelated to the ongoing conversation: I went to bed last night thinking someone should do a version of that "Friday" song from whatsername, Rebecca Black?, but make it "Tuesday" and I still think it's a good idea.
My cat just bit the charging cable and pulled it out of my laptop. I knew she didn't like me working but that is distressingly to the point.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, billytea, how scary! I'm so glad it wasn't worse.

That's what I do. I'll damage my wrists if I knead bread, so I use the bread machine for the kneading and first rise, and then turn it out into the pan for the second rise and baking.
