@duolingo Hello! My son Dylan8764 lost his 95 day streak (we’re on holiday so he couldn’t get a phone charger to work) and he’s bereft. Is there any way to get it repaired/reinstated? He’s a super committed Duolingo user so anything you can do would be amazing! Thanks

I don't know why @Jimfam's Kitchen in Norfolk article isn't online, but here it is.

"#Northnorfolk captured our hearts by stealth."

"...the phrase that best crystallises my associative excitement is this: #samphire season."

[Simon Parkin @SimonParkin]

A joy to speak to author, food critic, and broadcaster @Jimfam for @myperfectcnsle - Jimi speaks about playing Metal Gear Solid with his cousins, why Pro Eve was always the superior game to FIFA, and his new and brilliant food memoir, Picky.

Chuffed to have featured in this lovely bit of radio about football and food from @BBCFoodProg with @Jimfam. Possibly the first time a Steak and Buckfast Pie has been mentioned on Radio 4:

[The Food Programme @BBCFoodProg]

Burnt burgers begone! This week @Jimfam investigates the improving state of food at football matches. He's at @AFCWimbledon to sample samosas & souvlaki. There's a nod to liquor @leytonorientfc and a trip to the all-vegan Forest Green. Big thanks to @d_gray_writer & @jacknpeat

Does anyone find themselves suddenly in need of a book about the ascent of British-Nigerians? And Black African diaspora history in the U.K. in general? Will just leave this here: https://t.co/hItcPbOHzu

Inevitably but, also, excitingly, I have a Substack. It is called Seconds and the first post is about Canteen, Cafe François, Hill & Szrok, Bistro Freddie and other things. Come hang: https://t.co/O8v5hwZtmC

This week’s review is of Lolo and it’s my last one for the Evening Standard (to clarify, pretty sure there will still be reviews but I won’t be writing them). Odd few weeks but excited about what’s next. Thanks for the lovely messages. Much more soon 🧡 https://t.co/QZy04nm4b1
