Suki Sidhu & Peter Burton.
Indian food, murder and this ridiculous pair. Give it a watch.

Mrs. Sidhu Investigates
There’s a new mystery on Acorn, another in it’s stable of homegrown mysteries. It is not riveting stuff and follows a well-worn pattern of nosy amateur sleuth and cranky detective solving crimes together. It had a cozy lightweight feel and reminded me of Rosemary and Thyme or Heddy Wainthrop. The lead actress Meera Syal really makes the show stand out with her wit and charisma.
@pumpkinspicelove I think you’d like it

My media this week (14-20 Jan 2024)
📚 STUFF I READ 📚
Death in Soho (Augusta Peel #1) (Emily Organ, author; Sarah Nichols, narrator) - acceptable cozy mystery set post-WWI. Perfectly cromulent and will probably read another when I'm craving an uncomplicated read. Did appreciate that Miss Peel is middle-aged, not an ingenue/flapper
Ever Since New York (AHM1121) - 94K, shrunkyclunks omegaverse - just a really satisfying omegaverse fic, loved these versions of them
Running on Air (eleventy7) - 74K, drarry - it's 8 yrs post-war, draco's been missing for 3 of them and harry's been assigned the cold case. There's driving and melancholy and eventually sorting out feelings and stuff
💖💖 +199K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖
Quench (AidaRonan) - MCU: shrunkyclunks, 9K - reread, all time forever fave with possibly my fave description of thick steve: 'built like a mack truck made out of ribeye' (all the simile action in this fic is fantastic tbh)
This Light-Struck Country (TentacleParty) - The Witcher: eskel/oc (monster), 18K - some truly quality monsterfucking
sunrise supplications (liadan14) - The Old Guard: kaysanova, 12K - great modern AU enemies-to-lovers with a very clever spin on joe & nicky's canonical meeting
Slow Boat to China (Penguinjava) - A Charm of Magpies series (KJ Charles): Merrick & Lucien, 7K - wonderful vignette of the boat trip to china after lucien's horrible father banished them & the foundation of their relationship

There are two things that have been occupying my mind today.
1. Apparently when Larian recently updated BG3, they made some adjustments to the body physics. I found this out because I rolled up a new character last night and chose a male character this time and when I went to, er, pick my penis, I found that they'd put some... dangle in the dingle, as one might say. So that was fun. :D
2. If you're a fan of shows like Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise, Miss Fisher and so on, I thoroughly recommend watching Mrs Sidhu Investigates. It is delightful. It's on Acorn so you can watch it directly through there or through Amazon Video or wherever else Acorn has done their deals. And if you go and watch it, we might get some more of Mrs Sidhu.

just started Mrs. Sidhu Investigates and she turned down a catering client because she could see how miserable the bride to be was about the wedding
Guy storms out but the girl stops, turns back, and thanks her for saying out loud what she'd been afraid to say
I already love Mrs. Sidhu, she seems very awesome

1. Powtarzam się niestety.
Jestem bardzo, bardzo zmęczona.
2. Nie jedziemy do arboretum w tę sobotę, więc może zdołam się zmobilizować do pójścia na sztangi.
3. Głowa boli cały czas. Jestem na nieustającym haju nurofenowym.
4. Każda komórka mnie domaga się czekolady.
5. Trochę mi smutno i samotno, chociaż nie powiem, realizowanie tylko własnego widzimisię ma swój urok.
6. Łóżko jest spoko, twarde i wygodne.
7. Zakochałam się w Mrs Sidhu investigates.
8. Zastanawiałam się, czy by 18.11 nie wybrać się na wycieczkę do Zamościa, do którego jest mi okrutnie nie po drodze, no i okazało się, że ten organizator powtarza wycieczki i Zamość planowany jest też na wiosnę, więc teraz sobie daruję.

📚 STUFF I READ 📚
🥰 The Last Devil to Die (Thursday Murder Club #4) (Richard Osman, author; Fiona Shaw, narrator) - still loving the characters, love to hang out with them & Osman's plots move along nicely so you don't get bored at all. Fiona Shaw's narration is great & as a little treat she & Osman have a nice little chat at the end.
🥰 Four Letter Word For Intercourse (bendingsignpost) - 194K, destiel AU - adult college student Dean & professor (and phone sex worker) Cas - LOVE this fic so much & had kind of forgotten about it until it came up as a rec in one of my romance discord servers. Just, so good.
😊 Mrs Sidhu Investigates (Suk Pannu, author; full voice cast) - 2 episodes of the BBC Radio 4 program: #1 Murder with Masala; #2 Mrs Sidhu's Dangerous Highland Game - I prefer the slight changes made for the TV show's characterizations but still eminently enjoyable. (Meera Syal still absolutely rules!)
🥰 Lucky Bounce (Cait Nary) - extremely delightful hockey romance. Low/no angst, charming, cutie MCs. Definitely in the 'no plot, just vibes' category which honestly I love when done skillfully.
💖💖 +102K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖
Ye Olde YouTube Love Story (Aria_Lerendeair) - The Sandman: Dreamling, 7K - love dreamling human AUs
Any Givens Sundae (dancinbutterfly) - Justified: Boyd/Raylan, 25K - excellently written 'what-if' pinging off a random line of dialogue: what IF Raylan had retired & decided to sell ice cream?
A Warning from Henry the Eighth (Writer_at_the_Table) - "I'm Henry VIII I Am" - Herman's Hermits: , 152 - a villianelle about I'm 'Enry The Eighth by Herman's Hermits - the creativity & cleverness of fan makers truly is boundless
master of a nothing place (strzyga) - Star Trek: Spirk, 6K - short, great fic about Spock going feral when they're trapped on a planet
