Go!

Now rewatching: 1899.

Wonder if it'll make more sense this time.

And after that, a rewatch of Dark. And the sentence above will apply a second time.

Still, both immensely enjoyable first time around.

Today is a day for finishing off in the kitchen and putting identifiers on my big sticks. Hopefully I'll have a small stick next week.

In the kitchen prepping a new thing after being inspired by someone here.

If you have leftover mascarpone cream and lemon curd, sometimes you have to take drastic measures and bake.

NP on the stereogram:

LSD by them there CARDIACS. Methinks I shall listen to all the CARDIACS working backwards.

My loyalty demands it. And they are worthy of... laudation.

Genesis have been my favourite band for over 50 years now.

Watching audience filmed video of *that* Genesis tour from Birmingham on youtube.

I'm glad we didn't go. Someone should have intervened when the idea was mooted.

Tuesday: "do I need to bake a cake for Saturday?" "No" is the reply.

Thursday 7pm, email arrives. "Can you bake a cake for Saturday?" Because I obviously always have lemons, mascarpone, limoncello and double cream in the house. And no plans to do anything else.

Friday 11am. Cake baking.

Buggeration.

I dropped the electric shaver and it fell apart. Looks like its not going back together succesfully.

Time for a new one and... UV CLEANING 😍

I know most of my followers aren't local... but there's bound to be a #Morris side near you if you're in England.

And everyone loves a bit of #hotmorrisaction

For the record, previous mutations were seen as far back as 2016. This was the ensuite when we moved into this house. I think it was gone within 2 days.

The "every shade of grey interior decor Live Laugh Love" gene looks like its mutated here in Malvern.

So here we are... flapjack/granola bars.

Oats, butter, honey, sugar. Pine nuts, walnuts, brazil nuts, almonds, dried apricots, sesame seeds. Cinnamon, vanilla.

There should have been fewer nuts and the addition of sunflower and pumpkin seeds... but my mind was elsewhere 😂

I am making mushroom pâté. The musical accompaniment is Sacred Blood 'Divine' Lies by Magnum.
