Well the SI units are just as made up and have had enough angels on a pinhead discussion about them as Belgium so I'd say it fits quite well with other metric units

Marmite used to be made in Burton upon Trent, a small East Midlands town which once once home to a large proportion of the UK brewing industry. There was a good reason as Marmite is a yeast extract and brewers cultured and used lots of that stuff

#TombTuesday is upon us and here's an old favourite - Cairnholy II. 📷 My own.

We've passed the autumn equinox so I reckon that means it's YORKSHIRE PARKIN SEASON. Here's my recipe from all the way back in 2011 😲 britishfoodhistory.com/2011/11/04/y...

Yorkshire Parkin

God, I love Yorkshire parkin. If you are not familiar with it, it’s a strongly-spiced sticky gingerbread-cum-cake flavoured with treacle and dark brown sugar that is traditionally eaten …

The land withers. Autumn is told in both the fading scars of drought and the gathering mud. Hooklanders call this blurred border of days harbrim. A time whenthey know that mists are coming to eat certainty and monsters feast to fatten ahead of hibernation. – #DAKilroy, 1982

Short boat ride over the harbour to Sherkin Island - Inis Arcáin Nice walk to Horseshoe Harbour anc then along towards the south of the island. Found a very interesting art exhibition all based around geolocated old names for places and older residents memories of them

Horseshoe Harbour, Sherkin Island
Some rocks in the lower left lead to a large expanse of water. Some hills and cliffs can be seen in the distance and on the right with a wide opening to the sea. The sky is mostly filled with high cloud and with some brighter openings to the blue sky

No money in Holy Well, probably trying to discourage much else as well

At the 1896 Olympics they had a 12-hour track race. The winner took a lap in the first ten minutes and then sat on for the rest of the day. Think about that next time you're watching an allegedly boring bike race.

The other use for the buttermilk at our house is in buttermilk scones. Sweet or savoury, they're very nice

Phil @phil55494.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Not tried buttermilk chicken, I really should as we usually have some buttermilk in. Our usual supplier of buttermilk milk is a great little local greengrocer/deli does just happen to be next to the butcher we use so that should help.

Buttermilk, can also be used for other things I'm told. Mainly Soda Bread however, or at least it is in our house. Soda bread is something that is so easily available here in w. Cork while we're here on holiday

This made me smile, attached to an ordinary cast iron drainpipe on a house in Durham. #TinyJoys

A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house. A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it. It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.
