I’ve found these very useful too. Eine Möhre für Zwei, a Sesame Street spinoff is very sweet too.

I’ve listened to the Easy German podcast off and on and enjoy their discussions.

Listening to German news radio (NDR Info, RBB InfoRadio, etc.) in the background has also helped.

For structure in learning, I’ve found the roadmap guide in https://refold.la/roadmap very helpful.

They’ve made the data available here: https://catalogue.ceh.ac.uk/documents/d90a3733-2949-4dfa-8ac2-a88aef8699be

Vespucci is a step up in complexity to StreetComplete, but lets you perform node additions. That’s wat I use when out and about alongside StreetComplete.

As others have noted, the final episode and random sexualisation were disappointing, but I really enjoyed the writing round how Star Fleet would (will) come to be. It filled in a good number of gaps in the lore.

The theme music? I laughed at it at first, then when they reversioned it in later seasons, I remember at the time thinking “how could they make it worse?”. But now on rewatching, I’ve fallen in love with it and think it’s the perfect tune for the show.

• Carbon steel = brilliant and last for ages (but expensive)

Cooking on plastic doesn’t feel right. Even if it’s perfectly safe, I’m happy to stick with any of the above and not cause excess waste by having to throw out pans when they scratch.

Possibly more vegetable oil. I remember reading the ingredients, thinking eww, then taking another big sip. Barista edition is lovely.

I found “A Canticle for Leibowitz” an astounding read. More apocalyptic than dystopian, but solid.

Cracking TV is glorious if you like 1980s/1990s TV.
