I watch TV fairly regularly these days. There’s Masterchef Australia for one thing. I find this season a little peculiar, because unlike the last two, it seems to be less about the food than the challenges, but I’m still pretty much hooked to it.

Having watched a lot of MasterChef Oz-trai-liya by now, on TV when the show was on, and on Youtube (the episodes I’d missed), I think I’m in grave danger of speaking Oz-trai-liyan all the time (right now, as I write this, I’m speaking Oz-trai-liyan in my head).
