Day 1 - Sour Mandazi, bird feeders

So day 2 of the second lock down yesterday; this is how it went:

I got up early to finish my Mandazi baking before starting to work. See i has done the dough the day before but ran out of time because i had to start a zoom discussion which we hold daily with my classmates at 7 PM. This particular day we were discussing Financial Management, which happens to be my most troublesome subject so we agreed to start an hour earlier than usual. And poor me, i had forgotten all about it and started making Mandazi because i was craving them. So i abandoned this along the way and went for the discussion and by the end of the discussion at 10 PM i was proper exhausted. And silly me, little did i know that it was not a good idea to leave dough standing overnight - unless off course you are making sour cookies. :)

So that's how my first Lock down Mandazi adventure went down. Sour as Lemon!

Nonetheless, i proceeded with my day to work, work and work. Had several meetings along the way, trying to take regular breaks in and out of the house to ensure both my eyes and skeletal system is taken care of.

Day 1 highlight was the basket bird feeders i made with Tabi, out of the many baskets i have collected in my house overtime from the Valentines and birthday flowers. For some reason they look the same year after year :) so i was able to make two identical bird feeders. We could use a bit more wild life to cheer the mornings for sure.
