Bread

I've been trying to eat bread which is made out of, you know, bread. Flour, yeast, oil, water, sugar. Not preservatives and flavour enhancers.

I seek your advice on sourcing such bread. I've made some loaves myself, which I quite enjoy but it is such a hassle to have to be home at the right time to knead the dough.

Perhaps a bread machine? Yet I do not fancy bread made in the odd shapes that the machines make it.

Perhaps buying it from the New Norcia bakehouse?

NF1

I was quite upset about the likely diagnosis of neurofibromatosis 1, but now I've had time to think it over it's not so bad.

The odds of getting all the associated conditions are really low, and almost all of them are treatable or manageable. Fingers crossed for not getting the visual impairment, but even that is manageable.

I was really frustrated that we spent three days at the hospital without getting the MRI but at least that shows the neurologist doesn't think it is a real emergency.

I am finding the constant round of medical appointments a bit wearing. Last week, three days in hospital. The week previous to that, the paediatrician, the dentist and the physiotherapist. Next week the eye doctor, the physiotherapist and the OT. I think it would be a lot easier to live a quiet, child-centred life with rhythm if we didn't have so much on.
