Watching. The first two episodes of The Trap Door. Each is about 3 minutes long, which apparently means I can scrape together the audiovisual processing at least sometimes.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
simont linked me to a moment in the middle of an episode a few weeks ago; I was sufficiently charmed by That Moment In Particular that I made Adam watch it too; A followed up with "gosh I haven't watched any Trap Door in ages", and promptly found a set of DVDs on the Oxfam website. So! There is probably more of this in my future.
Playing. More Chroma! A bit more replay of the first set of levels, and then this evening I solved The Green Room that we were stuck on in 2.04, which was Satisfying. On the one hand we're still stuck on a lot of the other half of the level; on the other I have worked out a way to get both of our player-tokens into the same room; on the gripping hand, I'm not sure that's actually useful. More Poking To Follow.
Cooking. ( Read more... )
Eating. Of particular note: Cartmel (of Sticky Toffee Pudding) Lemon Drizzle Pudding. I discovered Cartmel Sticky Toffee Puddings in the village shop the summer I was based at the Coniston Coppermines youth hostel for my mapping project; when they started being sold down south via Waitrose many years later I (told my mapping partner, who also instantly ran off to buy them) made A try them, and they have been a Freezer Staple ever since. But! There are puddings other than the Sticky Toffee that they'll post to you if you buy direct from them! So we acquired also the Sticky Banana Pudding, two Sticky Ginger Puddings, the Lemon Drizzle Pudding as discussed, and two packs of fudge for A.
The Lemon Drizzle Pudding does what it says on the tin: it unites the general premise of Lemon Drizzle with the textural je ne sais quoi of steamed puddings, and we had it with raspberries, and lo, It Was Good and I enjoyed myself. Probably not enough to buy more of this pudding in particular, but I'm very happy to have tried it and I am looking forward to reporting back on the Sticky Ginger Pudding this time next week...
Growing. I dug up a bit of self-layered jostaberry, and some raspberry canes, and some horseradish, all of which have now been Transplanted to New Locations; fingers crossed they survive the process...
