“Lost” episode of Carl #Sagan’s #Cosmos : The Meat Planet
This is quite wonderfully wonderfully dreadful. Veggies should perhaps not bother. HT: bart, for the discovery.

Haggis for Breakfast!
It’s a bit like Porridge. With lungs.

Homemade Labneh after straining
Still quite soft even after 9 hours hanging – strong enough to freestand but not crumbly, this one is soft and spreadable; I’ve strained it for up to 24 hours before now and it can get to a dry, almost powdery quality, so there’s a balance to be struck. Drained-off whey in the 2nd picture.

More on #Android #GPS #cycle applications: #Maverick failage & Google “My Tracks”
So I’ve tried Maverick now (Lite edition) and I really want to like it… it’s pretty, uses both GPS and Wireless locators, and it’s turned me on to the idea that Open Maps actually can be more useful than Google Streetmaps (largely because some of them show footpaths). However from the cyclist viewpoint there is…

Loving the way that TVTropes CAPITALISES #BRIANBLESSED
Played his best and his favourite role as the sympathetic, tragically naive (yet still occasionally bombastic) emperor Augustus in the acclaimed british mini-series I, Clavdivs. (“IS THERE ANYONE IN ROME WHO HAS NOT SLEPT WITH MY DAUGHTER?!!!”) via BRIAN BLESSED – Television Tropes & Idioms.

Une petite memoire de Lille…
Alec: Claude! Ca va? Claude: Ca va mon brave! Comment allez-tu? Alec: Merde. Claude: Ah. Courage! Alec: Quoi? Claude: Courage! [vigourous fist pumping] Alec: Ah. C’est une idee Francaise. Claude: Oooooui! [grin] Alec: Les Anglais, er… nous avons une autre expression… “Tue les batards”. [all collapse in laughter] Excuse me for murdering the language…
