You’re not supposed to have favorite parkruns - just like you’re not supposed to have favorite kids. But if it were allowed, this one might just be the one.

Sometimes I consider upgrading my Peloton account to paid - until I try a hotel bike. At the Edinburgh Carlton today, and it’s fallen off activation. Usually they have no connectivity, I suppose. If I were paying, I’d be apoplectic. Why is it so bad, and why isn’t Peloton fixing this?

I find the medium of ICMP really allows me to express myself.

The first rule of mild club is, if you see a mild you buy the mild The second rule of mild club is, if you see a mild YOU BUY the mild If someone says stop or goes limp, the mild should not have been 5.3% One mild at a time No halves, no thirds If this is your first time at mild club, you drink.

The thought process started with, do we have a nice chianti to go with this lasagne I’ve made. The thought process continued via, “does an orange Ricard sour work as a concept?” Anyway, yes it does.

I laughed at this Mastodon post, and then searched online to discover what the actual front page was for the Star yesterday….. this is the genuine front page.

That’s us! We have many thousand more of these APs heading to the UK right now, so happy we are with their top performance on trial sites.

Hmm, something tells me I put too much whisky in the whisky sauce?

The second big meal of my weekend trip was at Dishoom, a super duper fave of mine. We like cooking from their recipe book so I feel close to many of the dishes but the highlight was this brand new biryani pie on the specials which we must try to replicate!

Last night we enjoyed an incredible Burns night supper in London, with paired Bruichladdich whisky for each course. I’d love to be able to replicate Martin Sweeney’s whisky sauce which made the haggis very special. Excellent venue, Brasserie Max at the Covent Garden Hotel, event convened by Amex.

Nice day off. Ran at Rother Valley parkrun, and found this (pictured) little spot of calm near the start line which I’d not seen on any of my nine prior trips to the course. Spent an hour reading Nights Out At Home. Kids been good. Now going to eat noodles and then go to the pub.

Massaman curry tonight using the same recipe as a few weeks ago. Sadly, the result was chewy and not tender. The beef had been previously frozen, so I wonder if this was the reason. I couldn’t get fresh lemongrass this morning so soaked some dried stalks, but their flavour just didn’t come through.

The ice can piss off, I can’t get to a parkrun and back tomorrow in time for an appointment but I won’t get a rare lie in because we have young kids.

Further experiments to try to perfect the Yorkshire Pudding, serving as both food and as the vessel. The structure still isn’t solid enough. The experiment continues.

Life returns to normal and so the tree must come down. Would I have made less mess in the living room had I not had three pints before taking it away? We won’t know now.
