Hahaha yes.

Did you see how they hilariously treated that on Coronation Street recently? I don’t watch it but this made me laugh

Ha! No. It’s not like that now. When we lived in Leeds we could get it in Sainsbury’s!

I hope you were wrapped up warm for the Vivaldi. I took my mum last January. FREEZING.

I’m glad.

Very much judging you for not going to Lido though! You can walk the whole length of it and be by the sea the whole time.

Carnivale is now isn’t it? So it’s still more than baseline busy, December and January are my favourite though - the light is incredible!

In July and August it feels very different.

Did you make it to Lido?

I’ve just purchased a bottle of Henderson’s relish in Malta.

I can’t even find it in Staffordshire usually.

We’ve been out in a boat today and I had to put factor 30 on my bald head.

I love that these are labeled as both β€˜tapas’ and β€˜aperitivo’ but are in fact… pork scratchings. Makes you feel a bit fancy as you crunch your way thought them.

Tagging @keriwarbis.bsky.social because she is a connoisseur.

Well Caroline, my written remarks refer to him as a β€œpiece of shit” because that’s what he is.

I hope She Ra is in it too!
