Ah, I really enjoyed the first season of Annika. Currently using the original radio series on BBC sounds to fall asleep to! Something about Nicola Walker's voice... But sadly, no access to Alibi so I'll have to wait ☹️

Good to know. We live a couple of minutes walk from a 24 hour Asda, so next time I loose my rag with his marmite sandwiches I know what to do!

There is spreadable butter on here, some has already melted at room temp so it's not that visible. But it's a tricky balancing act with the wee man. Too much butter is a negative, but he needs to be able to see it also. I'm hoping he mellows as he grows older, but I suspect that's a vain hope! I shall try and perfect my technique. I've almost always been a toast and martite person, so I think this is a just a life skill I have never learned properly.

For now I shall ignore the blasphemy, but I will say I must have been unlucky the only time I've tried this. Because the own brand yeast extract I tried was much thicker, and much less salty. Disappointing all round.

Either you don't have kids OR you don't have a child like ours. A bread sandwich was requested, and only the foolhardy would serve a toasted sandwich!

I'll have you know it's only the best Aldi spreadable butter. The clumps are a requirement because the 7 year old will inspect the interior and needs to be able to see the butter.

Gotcha. Microwave jar. I have ADHD so nothing... absolutely nothing can go wrong with this approach.

I've had the premixed marmite and peanut butter before. I'm not a fan of peanut butter normally, but actually... Quite good!

Like microwave the jar or heat up a small portion?

Typhoon flypast for the tattoo.

Tip from a local. The weather is nearly always better than the forecast in Edinburgh. But the other thing no-one tells the foreigners is that August is the wettest month.

Update. Home now. Bloody traffic around those roundabouts at Perth. It's always a nightmare.

Stopped off at a wee pebble beach on the south east side of Loch Ness on the way home. Much quieter and less touristy than the other side. Great views, and a top espresso from a wee van. A great way to round off a week on the Highlands. But man, I need to get the AC fixed in the car. Sunny most of the way back. All sweaty.
