Watching. Farscape S01E05, Back and Back and Back to the Future. This... is the point at which I would give up, left entirely to my own devices, but the show comes strongly recommended and I could actually use some brainless TV, so. I will... keep going. But wow this episode was-- I can sort of see some of what they were going for? I can even believe that some of it was interesting and novel in the nineties? but watching it now... y i k e s.
Listening. Orphan Black: The Next Chapter! First season; first two episodes. It is more of an audiobook than I was expecting (i.e. lots of narration), and I'm exasperated by some of the Clunky Exposition For New Listeners, and I am also delighted by all the Domestic Bliss Fanservice we're getting -- & by how vividly everyone is still characterised. Very very glad that A has nudged me into getting around to this.
Cooking. Mostly I have been DRYING APPLES. (So many apples.)
Eating. Home-made pizza, where all I had to do was apply toppings and stick it in thefridgeoven :) V pleased! Apfelstrudel! So many dried apples.
Exploring. I have been reminding myself of the geology of Coverack Cove.
Growing. The basil cutting grew a proper set of roots and now has its feet back in the soil! It seems to have a bit more leaf than its root system can currently readily support, but that's okay, we'll just eat some of them.
Saffron: still not flowering at home; nowhere to be seen at the allotment. The oca have been frosted, though, and will need digging up sooner or later...
Observing. Topshells! Lots of them, in lots of colours! And also a tiny rockpool fish, a wide variety of anemones (several of them unfurled), a black-backed gull at rest up close, and some Good Pigs.
