I'm going to experiment with a Substack blog in place of the underused blogs on my main website - let's see how it goes.
This first post is about how my dad's photos have been used in disinformation in Spain, and how Spanish media organisations are fact-checking it.

Today's hot smoked salmon - before and after cooking, and with bubble & squeak.

Today's hot smoked salmon - before and after cooking, and with bubble & squeak.
Yesterday's roasties, cooked in the fat of the goose that was sat above them, smoking & roasting in the barbecue.
They were incredible - crispy shells with soft creamy interiors.
We only ate 4 of them between the two of us, so plenty left for the remaining gallon of gravy.

Santa has been good to this pair of lads on Crown St, Gorbals back in December 1970, bringing astronaut suits and space hoppers down the lum for them.

Twas the night before Christmas, and throughout the land
The sleeping arrangements were carefully planned
Down in the kitchen, a picturesque scene
A mattress, a pillow, a washing machine

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:
A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

A Christmas classic
The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

Search your name and "glamour shot" and post a photo.

But I don't think it counts as it comes from another Simon's post doing the same thing on The Other Place.

An image I find myself returning to every Christmas. Long shadows and fairy lights at Glasgow Central, Christmas 1964. Captured by the inimitable Oscar Marzaroli who was waiting for, and found, the magic that day.

Christmas Dinner prep all done.
The hardest part was plucking the swan - it really didn't want me to do it.

I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas
He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic
Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates
He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den
