pensnestToday, I made banana cakes. When I attempted to peel a breakfast banana, it was that gross overripe sticky ew thing, and there were three more in the fruit bowl (very firmly wrapped so as not to afflict the rest of the fruit with their banananess). But the cake smells good, and I'm hoping the slugs will enjoy the skins and the hedgehog will enjoy the slugs. Mmm, juicy!

I'm semi-addicted to watching Lewis, which is being recorded on my Virgin media box in apparently random order. One oddity I have noticed is that there are lots of shots of the river in which a smallish crew, usually a pair or a four, rowis gently into view—and the crews are always women. Well, there was one mixed double scull, but otherwise I've only noticed female crews. I suspect the filming company did a deal with one of the women's boat clubs to provide scenic authenticity, but it does seem… odd.
I've put the full boxed set on my Christmas list. With luck I shall be able to watch them all next year and do a proper survey. I suspect that detailed examination would reveal that the same four women do all the rowing in any given season!
