Dec 13th: faintly disappointingly, it's a repeat jar of chocolate hazelnut spread. No photo because it's identical to the one up-thread.

Dec 12th: halfway, and we get a really good one. Blueberry with lychee & rose. The rose is barely there, but the lychee-blueberry combo is great. Blueberry can sometimes be a bit claggy and this really isn't. Bright, sunny flavours.

Dec 11: fig and cardamom. I thoroughly dislike figs at the best of times. This has not changed my mind. It's probably best with some absurdly punchy cheese. The kitchen is the wrong way round in this photo because I'm cleaning chocolate moulds.

hahahah, as if

it doesn't get much less than this, by the way - I think we bottom out at 6:32 or so.

hm, just the bsky version ran, the mastodon one didn't. must be a residual from the test suite. Weird. Ah, well!

soooo... I am not 100% sure why #daylightbot kicked in today. It isn't supposed to run until the solstice (apart from Sunday) because honestly I need to know days are getting longer, not shorter. Anyway, hello, old friend.

Happy birthday, Lyndon. Glad you've made it this far.

Dec 10th: oranges, guavas and limes. This is *lovely* and despite the ingredients and bitter notes is definitely not a marmalade. Approved.

that's a bit rubbish. I hope it does show up.

ah, that's a shame. I was home all of yesterday for a dpd and evri, and the dpd one was bang in the middle of the eta window, evri still thinks it's delivering yesterday.

*salty, fried ethanol, yeast and random long chain carbohydrates formed from hydrolysis and Maillard's reaction.
