Squid, Siamese, Sweets, Staropramen & Swifts.
I do like alliteration, at least when it comes to blog posts. The Squid in the title refers to the Korean Netflix series ‘Squid Game’. Half the world is watching the show at present, as am I. The most memorable part for me was the cookie cutting game. Never would have thought cookie cutting could be so fraught.
‘Siamese Twins’ is the book I am poised to start, but just haven’t quite got around to yet. 2021 has not been a prolific reading year thus far.
Now for the sweets. Are you a fan of cheesecake? For some reason I was under the impression I couldn’t stand the stuff. That all changed when I tucked into this specimen complete with icing.
Starting the day with a nougat pastry is not the norm. However, last Saturday was an exception.
Staropramen is a Czech beer, which is often sold quite cheaply in the supermarket despite it being what could be described as a premium beer. You’ve probably had it before. It’s pretty good.
Time for the swifts. These swifts stopped off by my house on their migration south. At least I think they are swifts, they’re not swallows. They were here last year too. It surprises me that they spend so much time flying about. One would have thought they’d use the time to rest, unless of course they are training for the long journey ahead.
Have a good weekend.
I love cheesecake, Guy, especially blackcurrant or strawberry with pouring cream. I also like Czech beer although I haven’t tried that particular one. 🙂
With pouring cream – you’re not holding back then, Heather. Big bottles of Star are often £2 in Tesco.
This was quite a diverse post, Guy. I’m glad you found your inner cheesecake. I love the stuff. I think I can tell you why the swifts keep flying. Their main food source is flying insects. Here in the US it is mosquitos. They pretty much open their mouths and catch the insects on the wing. I hope you have a super weekend
Now I understand, John. Pleased to hear the swifts got to tuck in. A load of insects have suddenly appeared with the milder weather, including mosquitos.
They love that.
