Great Circle Mapper
I’ve found a great new toy, the Great Circle Mapper. It allows you to enter airports, and it’ll draw the shortest routes between them, taking into account the shape of the Earth. On the map on the left, I’ve got it to plot the routes to Auckland from Glasgow, Reykjavík and Granada. I like the route from Glasgow especially!
Pork & apple sausage rolls
I’ve never been a great fan of sausage rolls – they’ve always seemed
too heavy and greasy, something that could be used to quell the hunger till I got home from the supermarket, but not anything to eat for pleasure.
So I really have to applaud Tesco’s new pork & apple sausage rolls. It seems the only difference is the addition of dried apple pieces to the sausage meat, but what a difference! Suddenly it’s slightly sweet, slightly spicy, elegant, heavenly…
