“In like a lion, out like a lamb” — though today’s been a beautiful day. Spring very much in the air. March is welcome.

Felt like #TheWhiteLotus stepped it up a gear from the first episode of season three to the second. The storylines are starting to take off. The new theme song has grown on me too.

Hey! HEY! WE are at 77% of target right now and we ought to be at over 80% by now. This is evidence of Slacking. Whattaya want, Poland coming up behind us and taking the next spot? Think of somewhere new to share that link. Go on, tell em I sent ya. eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

La Marseillaise is just so rousing! #SixNations2024

Good to have #GreatBritishMenu back with the wonderful Andi Oliver!

@mariankeyes.bsky.social we have just started looking at Freezing Embrace! I love it! Thanks for the tip ❤️

@mariankeyes.bsky.social Finally saw the skit on “Who do you think you are” and it was gas! ‘Host of what? A parasite?’ and ‘Gollum with a hair transplant’ had me skitting 🤣 Fair play!!! ❤️

Sunday morning, tea and toast lit by the Christmas tree lights. Watching Rick Stein’s Cornish Christmas show with Pudding (our cat) curled up beside me

Catching up on last night’s Strictly and lads, I just love Tasha and JB! (And Sarah and Vito, clearly because this is a Vito stan account)

Melancholy Cat and Harry Christmas are on the tree. It’s Christmassssssss

If you see this, post a beach pic from your gallery.

I enjoy Great British Menu. Andi Oliver is such a great host

Glad we saved Slow Horses season 3 to binge over Christmas. The best show on TV

And we’re done! (Breadcrumbs, onions, rosemary, sage, thyme and lots of butter)

Prep day in the kitchen chez nous. Potato gratin for us and my sister is done, next up is the bread stuffing (with breadcrumbs, sage, thyme, rosemary and obscene amounts of butter)

My “work from anywhere” week is a work from home week, which means the evening commute can be devoted to more time preparing/cooking dinner, so lamb chops, carrots and peas and duck fat roast potatoes for dinner 😃

@toniewalsh.bsky.social 👋 Welcome!!!

At the pictures to see Wonka! I have high hopes

@idahonua.bsky.social 👋

7.54AM and the fourth of my Christmas cakes is in the oven. Tea and toast in the chair looking out onto the garden, listening to Lyric FM before I start work

Saw All of Us Strangers at Cork Film Festival. Beautiful and profoundly moving. Andrew Scott was exceptional. Go see it when it is on general release

At the International Gala at Cork International Film Festival to see All of Us Strangers

Sooty having a snooze

The house smells amazing

Snoozy

Early start this morning to bake the first of the Christmas cakes. The opportunity to work from home today means I can pop down to the kitchen later and take it out of the oven. I’m usually done and dusted by the end of September so a little behind schedule 😬

Fruit soaking for Christmas Cakes. Using oloroso to balance the fruit’s natural sweetness

At the 3 Arena concert for Inhaler — the place is hopping. Such a vibe!

Landed in Austin for a few days on business. The weather is wonderful

@nigelslater.bsky.social You’re here! Wonderful!!! And a reminder to re-read The Christmas Chronicles ❤️

Planted hyacinths today. Taking bets on whether they will be up before Christmas

Calvin Nash is such a great player to watch in this Munster game against Dragons

After the flooding in Midleton earlier this I needed to do something to cheer me up so I spent a lovely sunny afternoon planting spring bulbs

Industrious little bee, busying themselves on a dahlia at Claude Monet’s Garden

Sunrise, Port en Bessin Huppain

Tours is such a beautiful city. The weather is gloriously warm and we’re eating out at 8PM on the terrace. The Italian’s do not have a monopoly on La Dolce Vita

Exploring the Loire Valley and learning so much — including that Leonardo DaVinci spent his final years here and died at Amboise

On the way to Orléans for the morning. Looking forward to exploring the city

@mariankeyes.bsky.social My first message on here is to say hello to you! 👋
