### WATCH THIS NETFLIX SERIES: The Kominsky Method

The third and final series of *The Kominsky Method* lands on Friday. Sandy Kominsky (Michael Douglas) has to navigate what aging looks like without his friend Norman Newlander (Alan Arkin) by his side. Life only becomes more complicated with the arrival of Sandy’s ex-wife Roz Volander (Kathleen Turner). The pair's famously volatile relationship is further inflamed when she comes to LA to spend time with their daughter Mindy (Sarah Baker) and her boyfriend Martin (Paul Reiser). This season deals with money, death, love, murder and dreams coming true. In other words, the usual.

### PRETEND YOU’RE AT GLASTONBURY: Glastonbelly Box

With the iconic festival cancelled for a second year running, Colman’s has created a taste of the festival with a limited-edition ‘Glastonbelly’ food box. Each package is filled with produce from local food suppliers and on-site vendors, all paired with Colman’s signature condiments. Priced at £30 and delivered nationwide, 100% of the proceeds will be going back to the businesses who’ve missed out on another year of work at Worthy Farm. From Proper pies, which pair deliciously with a dollop of Colman’s Original Mustard, to Greens of Glastonbury cheddar, each dish is designed to be washed down with a sip of Glastonbury Brewing Co’s refreshing Magog cider or Zen ale.
