My first voice coach it was all about pitch. There is so much more to the female voice than pitch. My new coach started with pitch and we have moved on to less breathiness, softer, and more emphasis on each word spoken more clearly.(Males then to be lazy and run thier words together.) Projecting the sound out from being in my chest or throat to a more forward sound. Also adding more loudness without loosing the rest of it. My wife is of little help she says it sounds phony. I have reverted to not practicing in the same room whenever possible.

Regularly use mine, it does take some experimentation. As you say, cooking quicker on top is one problem, I'm thinking of trying to find a rack to raise up the item, so air gets underneath.

Temperature needs to be much lower than the recipe, at least 20C.

I've given up on fries and chips- too uneven- and much easier in the chip pan.

I like the mini part-cooked baguettes and Greggs stuff from Iceland but even that you need to turn over after half the cooking time.

Cook a 9" pizza once a week by squaring it off before cooking. Settle for the base not cooking well.

Well the chucking it down with rain all day forecast for Sunday I looked at Saturday was completely wrong, dry all day with broken cloud and nice sunny bits. Still caught up on jobs at home, looks okay at the moment but very breezy. Might go into town and get a sheet of ply for the roof lining on the Austin.

As mentioned everything went swimmingly with my wife's family. We had lunch today with her oldest sister (who wasn't able to make dinner the night before) and that was really nice. She teared up at one point, just starting to say how sorry she was for what I'd been through... and I cut her off and told her that I'm really happy right here and now, so there's really no reason for anyone to be sorry about anything.

I could tell she was also a bit anxious about names, pronouns and the likes, so for the second time in two days (and, I imagine, what will became old hat in short order) my little speech about how I don't want anyone ever to be on pins and needles, and language from those who love and support me will never bother me in the slightest. I could tell that registered and was appreciated. So my wife and I agreed that is definitely going on my "Greatest Hits" album. 

On our ride home we finalized the roster for the round #1 group of friends for this week. We debated if there would be a round 2 and 3, or just a round 2 and then deal with things on a case-by-case basis.

But we also thought why not just send those letters out tonight and get the ball rolling?

Well, after a wonderful dinner and catch-up chat with the boy... as we sat watching TV, I turned to my wife and just said "first of all, I am sorry - we have tried very hard not to make all this the focus of our lives, and for the last two weeks it's been like the circus is in town. And they've been extended at least one more week.  And secondly... I do not want to send out the letters tonight. I need a night off."

She was fully on board with "and on the eighth day, they rested" theory as well... so I'll work on the letters tomorrow.

Ok, cluster headache time (or maybe not?) - gotta go assume the position.

Love,
Allie

15 years is such a deal, in Gaza they would throw you off the roof of a building.  Well back a few months ago when they had buildings to throw you off of.

In 2022 a 22-year-old woman in Iran was beaten by the morality police (and died) over the hijab law. Where were the young collage protested back then?

Iran is such a wonderful place, if you're a straight Iranian male.   

And I thought it would be a nice place for a holiday....

Iraq, book for 2 weeks and stay for 3 years....
