Always wanted to try and bake your own bread?
Sourdough is a bread raised by aerobic yeast (yeasts in the atmosphere) that are captured in a mixture of flour and water and fed regularly to keep them alive. There are many different ways to make a sourdough starter — some people insist on using mineral water to feed the starter, others use water from boiled potatoes to get the starter going. It’s very effective to get a cup of someone else’s starter that you can then feed and grow yourself. Other people have sourdough starters that have been handed down through generations, but there’s no need for all that fuss: it’s incredibly easy to make your own.

Free Oven for Parts

Have a cat who brings vermin into the house which escape and hide in our ovens. Needless to say Insurance does not cover "Vermin" for some reason.

Needless to say Insurance does not cover "Vermin" for some reason. So I have one Eurotech electric oven with a gas cook top waiting for some one in need. Its 3 years old and will be a challenging jig-saw if you want the whole thing. The gas top, door, Stainless Steel panels etc are fine. Steam Clean and new insulation may fix the body. The whole has been under wraps through the Covid saga there so no worries there. There could be a free cat involved in this deal as well.

Spare Gravel.....

Bruce from Morningside

Hi All,
I am looking for some builders mix/sand/small stones to go under a concrete path. If you have a few buckets full left over from your project, they would be appreciated by me. Could also take old bricks and break them down.

Regards,

Bruce

Facebook launches 'Manage Activity' which allows users to delete old posts in bulk

Brian from New Lynn

The social media giant has launched a new tool, Manage Activity, which allows users to get rid of unwanted posts in bulk. Manage Activity allows users to delete or archive posts from a range of dates or involving particular people, so people can easily say goodbye to their exes, high school years and drunk outings.
=========================================
• Go to your Facebook profile then click on the ellipsis (three dots) under your name, then click on activity log.
• This will show you everything you have contributed to Facebook, including comments and reactions on other posts. Click on the Manage Activity link and then tap that you want to manage "Your Posts".
• From then you can filter posts. You can choose what kind of posts, such as check-ins, or photos. You can also filter the date range and the people who are tagged in them.
• Once you've selected some posts, you can choose to either "Archive" or "Trash" them.
The archive option hides them so only you can access them, but doesn't actually remove them from Facebook. The trash option puts them in a recycle bin for 30 days until they are permanently deleted. Unfortunately, users can't filter words by keyword for example, "drunk". But Facebook said it might add more in the future. In more bad news, people can't remove posts and photo made by others. The social media giant said in a statement that the new tool will "curate your presence on Facebook to more accurately reflect who you are today."
====================================
The tool launched on mobile from June 3 before moving to desktop at a later date. "We'll continue building new functionality for this tool to ensure it meets people's needs to manage their digital footprint on Facebook," the company said.
