Excuse me while I feast. 🧁🍽️

Gambling on a lengthier baking pilgrimage today has paid off in spades. I've come away with a large bag full of goodies, including an outstanding passion fruit meringue Danish which sadly didn't survive long enough for a photo. It remains to be seen whether the rest makes it back home 🤤

I was expecting 'Predator: Killer of Killers' to be good and it turned out to be a surprisingly perfect addition to the franchise. Dan Trachtenberg clearly knows what he's doing.

Spent the afternoon baking some Jammie Dodger cakes for a colleague who's retiring this week. Backache incoming 😅🧁🍽️

It always sounds like a threat.

Ordered a takeaway and sat down to finally watch 'Captain America: Brave New World'. Now I'm left wondering what percentage of the film wasn't in front of a green screen.

Got myself a cheap, small telephoto lens to take on holiday. Seems to work ok!

Bank holiday weekend babka 🧁🍽️

My body clock's insistence on waking me up at precisely 6:22 every single day can be frustrating. The upside is I'm awake for early baking treks. Today's was a hunt for doughnuts.

A fresh dose of KP.2 this morning. Quickly getting some shopping done before the inevitable aching begins.

The ability to update driving licence photos during the online renewal somehow makes the whole procedure worse. I've changed my shirt (twice), shaved, tidied up my hair, repositioned against multiple walls with different lighting... Surely the indecision will lessen after the 100th attempt 😶

Up to date with The Last of Us S2. It's proceeding exactly as planned. Welp.

Chocolate chip cookies made using the SBA recipe. 🧁🍽️

Putting some new madeleine pans to good use today. 🧁🍽️

I've had to pause the Daredevil finale to recover for a moment 😱

Pastry practice is underway and going well. James Morton's sweet shortcrust recipe (used for these jam tarts) easily trounces Paul Hollywood's, which I found to be a little too savoury. 🧁🍽️

Slowly chipping away at the stash of oats and dark chocolate callets. 🧁🍽️

While out shopping, I saw an elderly gentleman pick up a large bottle of whole milk from a fridge, remove the seal and take a large swig. I really, really hope he proceeded to buy it 😬

My opinion of 'Daredevil: Born Again' having now caught up after painstakingly avoiding absolutely everything about it for nearly three weeks is... It's not terrible!
