I’ve received another messages from British Gas about fixing my (non existent) smart meter. I’m concerned by the over emphasis of ‘be reassured it’s us who will message from a different number’. Is scamming getting very sophisticated?

Like so many others. You’ll probably find me over there now. I don’t want to be on a platform where I can’t block, tweets likes by bots and endlessly removing fake followers.

Tonight I saw (and performed with) the brilliant @hornesection at @CityVarieties. Huge respect the lady in the audience who heard there were two empty seats on front row and came on interval to ask to use them, and then won a task (and let me pose with it!).

For #GBBOTwitterBakeAlong I’ve made GF tiramisu from @GFAlchemist1 recipe. The Savoiardi Biscuits were simple enough to make. I didn’t realise it wasn’t cream but an egg/mascarpone mix. It prob wanted another hour to set but I wanted some now! @thebakingnanna1 @Rob_C_Allen

@duolingo getting this weird bug on iOS which eventually leads to app crashing. To recreate open app, tap treasure chest tab. Then scroll down to daily quests iOS 17.6.1, iPhone 13 Pro Duolingo version 7.46.0

This is why I don’t think I’ll last on Twitter! Posting things and getting likes out of nowhere from clearly fake accounts. I’ve given up removing fake followers now too!

For #GbboTwitterBakeAlong I’ve made chocolate orange frangipane tarts. I added zest to the pastry, a bit of juice to the frangipane and topped with choc orange buttons! These do taste really good and very orangey! @thebakingnanna1 @Rob_C_Allen

I found my old pic of when I attempted it! This is in my wheat flour days. I’ll be honest it wasn’t as bad I thought it would be. Just very time consuming. I did not use a pasta roller like the bakers did!

For #GBBOtwitterBakeAlong I’ve made GF chocolate caramel wafer biscuit bars. Chocolate work still not my strongest work to get neat this was a mix of bit of other recipes. I did 4 thin layers of biscuit. 3 thicker would have been better. @thebakingnanna1 @Rob_C_Allen

I did it in microwave. Once cooled it felt too thick to pour. Seems only way to get a biscuit covered is to melt more than I need? Will post pic shortly. Waiting for setting!
