Last week, I watched a film which is meant to be a ‘modern Jaws’: Sous La Seine (Under Paris, although, yes, I know that’s not literally what it means). Once again an avaricious mayor insists on pressing ahead with an event despite all the evidence from scientists saying there is a shark in the water. Were no lessons learned? It’s been rather slated, but we enjoyed it. Nothing like launching a shark movie as people are thinking about swimming in open water.

My initial reaction was to eat my feelings, but instead I decided to delight my taste buds. I started with NearyNógs’s Lúnasa, a 58% Togo single origin with real lavender, £7.25/60g. This is a proper delight, floral (obviously) and the lavender sits with the punchy chocolate beautifully. Also NearyNógs has recently redesigned all its packaging and it is gorgeous.
