They all used to be more organic, original, and observational documentary-like. They’ve normalised and reduced them all to the underwhelming experience of supermarket own brand biscuits.

I’m not a fan of the style of the latest sewing bee either. They’ve formatted it exactly the same as bake off / Masterchef / great pottery throwdown etc. Presenters being goofy but really not funny cold open, 3 tasks over the hour cut to music, pizzicato comedy strings over most of it.

The sound of that theme used to make me sick in the stomach as a kid cos I loathed school but I’ve always nerdily loved the programme despite certain presenters etc. So I’ve flipped that feeling in older life and it now means to me looking at interesting old shit on catchup.

This across different sectors and across the country / world means everywhere ends up looking the same and selling the same shit. #Boring
STAR MAN (@starmansuperpants.bsky.social)
The thing I find horrid about big chain brands is they now seem to target areas with an indie selling the same stuff to kill them off. Pets at Home opened a few months ago and wham - dead pet shop on the other side of the road. They did the same in Sydenham a few yrs ago too.

It was lovely but all thrown together with little thought. I planned on using puy or green lentils but we’d ran out of both so this came into being. The Worcestershire sauce and fresh herbs make it special imo.

Walked the dog around the park with no coat or brolly, got home and then it pissed down. Another lucky win against the rain.

Eldest is safely home and had a great night down the spoons. The dog was so excited to see her return she shat all over the kitchen which was nice.

She started scratching the sofa so I told her off and she farted in my face so I called her a mucky fucker and she’s gone to the other sofa and that’s how it is.

He’s a very nice guy. He genuinely invested in the village and encouraged and looked after those that worked for him. I remember the kitchen gardens of the manor from before his time. They’ve always been exceptional but he enhanced them.

I grew up in a little village in Oxfordshire where Raymond Blanc set up his restaurant and hotel. When he started an orchard a while back they were all tiny trees bound over to posts. He had about 90 varieties tho!

Yeah I believe that’s what you’re meant to do. Like growing tomatoes you prune hard to give the fruit all the nutrients rather than the plant / tree growing bigger.

Oh nice. Well this one has only been in the ground for about 3-4yrs. Every year its meagre number of branches carry double the previous year’s fruit. It’s in the shadow of our apple tree and seems to like it there.
