Thought it would be quicker to dry the dishes with the hairdryer – results in large electric shock.

Tried to make alcohol using baking yeast, sugar and about 500ml of water in plastic beaker, gave it a shake and put on a shelf at the back of the shed. Went back to check 2 weeks later. To this day, I have no idea what I had created. The beaker went in the bin.
