Beef Bourguignon from The Book of St Marcus (New Classics, p136 for those playing along at home) – only it was closer to a 6h cook because I forgot about some meetings. It smells DIVINE but I feel like I'm getting gout symptoms just by being in the same room as it. Bring on dinnertime… #meaty #omnomnom @marcuswareing

Naked lunch

We're intrigued by this activity table, which claims to be suitable for 18mths+. Given how Minmo towers over it at 9mths she probably won't even be able to see it when she's old enough to play with it!

I thought that'd been banned in Federation space…?

It's easy to get caught up in the cynicism about the traffic, the crowds, the inevitable weather-related cancellations, etc. But one can't help get caught up in a sense of childlike wonder of looking out the window to see a sky filled with hot air balloons. #balloonfiesta #balloonfiasco

The long crawl to freedom.

It seems our garden includes a small tribute to Sean Lock.

Weekends are for recharging. Thankyou @matsudairamen #yuzu #shioramen #YUMzu #becauseimworthit

It's been AGES since I went to an in-person whisky tasting, but what a great way to dip back in – @thedusties put together a genuinely excellent Stauning Danish Whisky session last night, led by the lovely @stauningwhisky_hans and the legendary @ali.is.out.stauningLike Ali, my head was incredulously turned by the superb Maple Syrup cask Rye – I SHOULDN'T like it, BUT IT REALLY WORKS! YUM!Great whisky, great folk, great story. And to think it all happened because @martin_vesterby heard a documentary on his car radio! If he'd been listening to the shipping forecast, I'd have had to stay home!
