01. Four Pillars Olive Leaf Gin virtual tasting (I mixed along with Cam, the distiller).
02. After a number of false starts, the course that I enrolled in at the start of the year is finally beginning. I’m looking forward to getting back into study mode.
03. You have to think, if it wasn’t for COVID, we wouldn’t be getting this particular joy.
04. The German menu on Atlas Masterclass.
05. Holy hell this granola is good (and very easy to make).
06. Who would have thought that this was necessary for Melburnians to plan their social life?!
07. My ancestry.com results have been updated again – I’m now more Scottish than Irish; more Scandinavian than German; I’ve said goodbye to the Mediterranean; and I’m holding on to my Eurovision minorities (Belarus, Moldova etc) by a thread. I don’t take this stuff too seriously, it’s mostly a competition between my brother and I as to which of us is more exotic.
08. Last but not least, thanks for the kind messages left last week after I said I’d had a horrible week. A special thank you to Lisa, who sent some very wise words via email that have replayed helpfully in my mind all week.
Might just have to sample that granola.
Should say that I left out the dried fruit – sure it’s just as delicious with fruit but I like all crunch.
I do hope you are still a little but Irish though? 😉
A tiny, tiny bit… will obviously still claim it when I next visit Ireland 😉
Obviously 🤣☘
03. Oh my……….
Oh my, oh my, oh my…
We are very much looking forward to the German menu on Atlas Masterclass! We are doing every second week at the moment but really enjoying it!
02. Good luck!
03. I’m jealous.
07. I highly approve of the Scandinavian part 🙂
I find making a list like this each week is good for my happiness.
Some great happiness makers here Kate … love the German Oktoberfest menu, though with dietaries, I can’t partake.
As for Ancestry, I’m completely bewildered about how one’s DNA can change. I love that you are your brother have a competition though. I was astonished to find that mine had a goodly amount of Eastern European about which I know nothing in my family. And far less Scandinavian which I know I do have. I also have NO English, which either means it’s wrong or my English forbears were really Scottish or Irish! I do know I have Welsh and Scottish, and both these showed up, but I really did think my Mum’s side was largely English! As you saw, you can’t take it too seriously.
what a great competition, I’m definitely more exotic than any of my brothers!
The granola looks scrummy. Not sure why salt would be needed though. Might try it without…
What’s the course you are finally getting to start?
I like sweet/ salty things (and I left the fruit out because I like crunch) but the salt does give it a lift.
I’m doing further studies in grief and bereavement. I already do a lot of grief work but rounding it out with the bit of paper!
I shall take notice in that case and remember to add the salt
