Yes, series 8 has started in the UK, and I’ve been following it. How could I not when it featured the reunion I’ve been waiting for: between Harry and Ruth.

Masuya – Teriyaki Salmon
The teriyaki salmon was good. This is how the marinade is supposed to look, not the bottled crap that you buy in the supermarket. The recipe is actually super easy, so if you want to taste authentic teriyaki salmon it’s better to make it yourself.
Ashes to Ashes – Slave to Love
Okay, I think I’m getting quite addicted to this show now. It’s definitely different from Life on Mars, but I think this is just as good. Of course, a good dose of unresolved sexual tension does lift things a great deal. A bit beauty and the beast, this one, but sizzling nevertheless.
Masuya – Platter
We’re getting to the serious end of the meal now, starting with an awesome sushi and sashimi platter. Very fresh and very tasty indeed.
Ashes to Ashes vs Top Gear
I’m in the middle of an Ashes to Ashes kick, and I found this spoof which I thought was quite amusing.
Masuya – Salad
The Japanese aren’t really known for their salads, but they actually eat more of it than you think. We started off the meal with a simple teriyaki chicken salad, with what might be sesame dressing. And of course, our cameras were at the ready.
Masuya – Drinkie
It’s Friday night and a buddy’s birthday, so we headed to Masuya’s, a good Japanese restaurant in O’Connell St, for a feast. I’d only been once before for lunch, but it’s birthday girl’s third visit. To start off, a colourful drinkie. Cheers!
Kaikoura – Sunset
A last view of the mountains, and a farewell to Kaikoura. On my last evening, the mountains and light put on quite a show.
Kaikoura – It’s a Seal’s Life
The wildlife isn’t just in the sea, but also on land, too. Walking around the peninsula, I came across quite a few fur seals having a kip in the sun. And not a bad place to have it, don’t you think?
Kaikoura – Midday
The next day was perfectly clear, and the mountains certainly looked different when the sky is blue.
