Soapmaking and breadmaking – will I be in demand when the pandemic comes?
I realised, after posting the last batch of soap photos, that I had two batches that I never got around to photographing! I was down to only one or two bars of each set, so I didn’t get to cherrypick like I usually do – these are the dregs of the batches. Luckily, these batches [...]

Proven! personality “deficits”. Here’s the latest product of that industry. They took 38 Belgians with CFS, all non-pregnant non-depressed women, diagnosed using CDC definitions (which [...]
