Seconded. I think it might be the only newsletter that drops into my mailbox that I make sure I read every month.

The keema recipe is so easy, and incredibly tasty (particularly made with mutton rather than lamb - so much more flavourful). It's from Miss South's Slow Cooked recipe book which I'd definitely recommended.

Ach, Simon, I've just realised I can't DM on BlueSky as I haven't set up the age verification. I'll email you, if that's ok. Thank you!

We had the stew last night and served it with the tomato and pepper bulgar wheat recipe from Persiana. It was a great match and both recipes are so easy. Thank you for that serving idea.

This beauty lived at a hotel we stayed in in 2022. We called her Pamplemousse. We eventually found out her actual name, but she suited Pamplemousse far better. I hope to meet her again one day. Also, if you want more cats I'd recommend following @veronicaf.bsky.social. Currently there are kittens...

She's unfortunately not our cat. Rather she lives at a lovely family-run hotel in France. We met her last year, rebooked to stay there this year (not wholly because of her, but partly!) but she didn't deign to greet us this time. Hopefully she will if we visit again.

You might find some useful information here (and linked from this page) about our @metoffice.gov.uk forecasts. There are a fair few Met Office colleagues on here too who might be able to help with more info. For rainfall on the day, I tend to look at radar weather.metoffice.gov.uk/guides/about...

Oooh, bulgar wheat is a great call, we haven't had that for a while but do like it a lot. I like the idea of turmeric mash too. Nice to soak up the sauce. Your stew is such a fab recipe. We made it in the slow cooker a couple of weeks ago with mutton & it was exceptional, so now doing it for others!

Ah, that video is a bit flaky in its playback for me. Can't spot if your MiL is in background. I think the outfit & earrings match though, alongside that logo in the background. There is also this image es.pinterest.com/pin/33601082...

The logo on the display stand at the back looked like a transport one with perhaps Safety at the top. Turns out there was a DfT logo for 'Safety on the Move' and Princess Di attended event to launch child safety campaign in Oct 91 youtu.be/Bp844R512hc?...

I still love the 'golden retriever' analogy! I'm always amazed when I get a job application cover letter or email saying 'Dear Sir(s)'. I have to put aside my bias as I know it is still taught to some, but I hate it so. One quick note - there is a typo in the second tip on this page, a that not than

20 years ago I don't think I'd thought about it. But as I've read more on equity etc, talked to others, & just been curious about why I seem to have reactions to things like this, I'm stronger in my feelings about it while always trying to ensure I address others as they wish to be.

It's fascinating in many ways - all deeply personal and sometimes difficult to describe without others then feeling like you are judging their life choices. In essence I see myself just as Felicity Liggins. No letters needed before or after that which others might use to make decisions about me.

I think a lot of it comes from my discomfort in salutations being related to marriage status (more so historically I recognise). It's tangentially related to why we chose Civil Partnership rather than marriage too (I'm in hetero relationship). All tied up in the way I feel about who I am as a woman.
