So very sad to hear that Mr Kudelka has left us. Condolences to all who loved him.

In my experience, yes 🤷🏽‍♀️

I was in Hong Kong for part of yesterday. It's still showing up on the hourly predictions 😞

So much for the 8 ml of rain predicted to fall here all day 😞

Yes, there was! I spoke with an older English couple in the customs line, who were quite done in by the layers and layers of queuing 😔

Also nice with fish and on top of avocado

I love using them for fancy mocktails, Richard. Also, as lime surprise in Mexican dishes and salads.

I’ve been away for a week and our finger limes have started dropping. My partner created a welcoming art installation with them 🤣

🤣

Thankfully, the customs queue was not too long and the Uber line minimal 🙌🏼

Consider this a friendly nudge: #SSW2026 lands 12–20 September. You know how the year goes… blink and suddenly you’re trying to plan an event in August. 👀

Beat future‑you to the punch: save the date and start brainstorming your ideas now.

Please take a break from the horrors to enjoy a picture of Ginger, my sassy long-haired #BassetHound, pictured here wearing a new ear-containment device that keeps her ears out of dinner.

Glorious 😊
