Field notes

Small things worth writing down.

Sourdough, week three

The starter finally doubles in six hours at room temperature. Feeding it twice a day with a mix of rye and white flour made the difference; the all-white version never got going.

On keeping a paper notebook

Writing by hand is slower, and that is the point. Lists made on paper get shorter, and the things left on them actually get done.

Bike route, spring edition

The river path is open again after the repairs. Forty minutes out to the old bridge, a coffee, and back along the hills when the wind allows.
