Seemingly it’s all changing again this next financial year. And about time. The recycling bag we have round here is full in a week, let alone two and it’s a miracle if you put out and get back the box for your glass. The more the merrier as far as I’m concerned.

If I may be so bold, we started the new Sally Wainwright drama last night, Riot Women. Absolutely superb. Nobody writes dialogue like she does. Just wonderful. Funny, human, emotional and powerful writing. Superb cast working with brilliant material. Highly recommended. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Riot Women - Series 1: Episode 1

Frazzled by demanding jobs, chaotic families and endless spinning plates, five women’s worlds smash together when they form a punk rock band to enter a local talent contest.

They’re ALL very dog eared to be fair. My copy of “Bites” falls open on its own accord at Lemon and Parmesan Risotto 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely weekend.

Was lucky enough to see Gary Oldman up close and on stage in Krapp’s Last Tape at the theatre in York recently. He’s mesmerising.

I laughed out loud at that. Such a good episode this week.

My dear friend Helen was an animal lover and equestrian and sadly she’s no longer with us. She was an expert on Parmo’s and Northern Soul and an amazing person. I loved her very much and miss her. Whenever the Donkey Sanctuary send an update, I always think of her. She’d approve. 🙂

As someone who’s just rewatched the entirety of Happy Valley, yet again, I can’t wait to sit down and see Sally Wainwright’s latest. Nobody writes dialogue like she does.

Your recipes and writing have been part of my kitchen instincts since this….. which is very battered, very used, and I can never remember QUITE the right way, that always works, how to do Yorkshire Pudding. 🙂 Thank YOU. 🙏

Can we double like this? 🙂

Last year’s collection had some brilliant brutalist architecture illustrations with snow and the occasional tree as well as more retro designs. Thank you notes from @gailmyerscough.co.uk and Peet the cat live on our fridge with Margot Leadbetter and Mildred. 🙂

Was half way through filling my basket this morning and the web browser failed for some reason. Will do it at the desktop later. LOVE this year’s collection.

Just putting it out there, but a splodge of Heinz Pickle Ketchup, some Kewpie mayo and some sriracha makes a brilliant addition to a Saturday brunch Faux Tim Horton’s vegetarian stack muffin.

Exactly that. Although to be fair, they’ve never fallen foul of “Pop’s yawning dumper”.
