I finished it last night. You're in for a treat! 🙂

As happens every time this comes up as #RecipeOfTheDay, this is going on the menu for Friday. It's so easy to make and more than worth the (small!) effort required.

Also - I use mint sauce as a 1-1 replacement for dried mint; it works a treat!

#RecipeOfTheDay is Pappardelle with Lamb Ragù. It’s a big favourite on nigella.com, as you can see by the comments below the recipe, one of which being “I couldn't have believed anything so delicious could be so easy!” My heart is gladdened and grateful. www.nigella.com/recipes/papp...
Pappardelle With Lamb Ragu
‘Ragout’ is French, ‘ragù’ Italian, and this meat sauce is certainly inspired by the Sicilian combination of sweet lamb, dried wild mint and crushed chilli flakes, though I’ve added an Anglo note with...

The govt should find 100 small things that piss people off & fix em, such as…

Ta to Politico for the vid, at its Labour fringe event, I explained that as big changes take time, govts should also have a team focused on small winnable change.

What little fixes'd you want?

I slept through my alarm this morning 🤬

I won't be taking questions about just how late I was awake because I couldn't put this book down 👀

It's *still* got that little orange sticker, nearly a week after publication, with good reason

New book out accompanied by that little orange sticker. I know it’s not the most important thing, but it’s nice to know that after nearly 30 books, people still buy my work.

I have been learning more about PDFs than I really wanted to for maybe the absolutely most funny reason possible - letting agency forgery: mjg59.dreamwidth.org/73317.html

Seeing a comment online (particularly for genre shows with fandoms, like Start Trek), usually found attached to an episode review, that begin "As a real fan" and you just *know* it's one to skip right past.

Almost 100% certainty that douchery of the highest order is ahead.

I cook, a lot, and most recipes that I put together (eventually) end up on my recipe blog @ robertwray.co.uk/recipes

Running's something I took up mid-2020 that helped me to shift about 20kg of weight and dramatically improve my health and fitness levels.

That'll do as a whistlestop intro...!

Outside of work, running, cooking and reading are my main vices.

I've got over 300 books yet to read on my Kindle. I'm still not sure how that happened; hopefully at least a quarter of them are samples but I can't bring myself to look.

The campervan company (www.ultravans.co.uk) is by far the most challenging/interesting of the two. My other half built us a campervan late in the COVID era, got the bug for it, binned off a career in IT and went full-time van constructing.

Small businesses have challenges, but boy it's a ride!

Professionally, I wear two hats.

By day I'm Head of Development (or that's how my boss tends to introduce me!) for a small Foreign Exchange company.

By night I'm Finance Director for a four year old Campervan conversion company - the A-level in Accounting is finally finding a use.

Is this thing on? Finally took the time to make the move from the other place as it's time I got a bit more "back out there" and the other place doesn't look like somewhere I want to be anymore!

Perhaps I should (re)-introduce myself....
