A painting for every year in the 20th century, ‘Derry Girls’ is back, and not quite BBQ weather…
How about a bit of cultcha? This Twitter thread with one painting from every year of the 1900s is so enjoyable. ‘Menin Gate at Midnight’ by Will Longstaff from 1927 is a favourite – you can see it at the Australian War Memorial. And King Charles rounds out the century…
If you need to find us tonight/tomorrow, we’ll be watching Derry Girls. The 3rd season has finally arrived after it aired in the UK in April, and we can’t wait to catch up with Erin, Orla, Clare, Michelle and James. Oh, and Sister George Michael… Tune in on Netflix.
By now, we’d hoped to be moving into the BBQ/salad phase of the year, but it’s pretty miserable weather where we are. So this weekend, we’ll keep the BBQ’d meat part of the program and supplement it with this Colcannon (aka Irish mashed spuds in honour of the Derry Girls…) and this zucchini and tomato bake (that tastes so much better than it looks…).
