After a good, careful clean and a chance to cool down, we tried it again and it is working- horray!! It is such a bonus to use it; to be able to get a loaf baked for our lunch whilst I am busy with home-school. What a relief that the last misadventure did not break it. I do not want to add dough-kneading and bread-making to our weekday schooling schedule!
And on another topic, Ben was very excited this morning to have an update on the Spiky Caterpillars. His sharp eyes picked out a beautiful African Emperor Moth resting on our balcony early this morning!
We went outside to see close up what those incredible caterpillars had hatched into. Esther held her hand close by to get a sense of its size and we snapped this photo:
We rarely venture out onto our balcony. It directly faces the Juba sun and is uncomfortably hot for much of the day, but early this morning we enjoyed discovering some of the creatures who were out there, like this gorgeously patterned moth and the praying mantis:
Fascinating creatures! What a bonus your bread maker disaster produced. I was so moved by the kind friends who were so ready to replace it. Such thougtfulness and kindness .love nana
