Unfortunately due to entirely unforeseen circumstances, Dr Matt Winning is no longer able to appear at QED 2025. However, ably stepping into the breach will be podcaster, author, and atheist activist Noah Lugeons.

Last year was rough and some of that was because of my tendency to overwork. So I'm trying to work on that by occasionally planning in a short lunchtime run when working from home. Today it was the last thing I wanted. But I still did it 🎉. And I was so glad because look how pretty it is out there!

The dogs were incredibly spoilt this year.
9 bags of dog treats including festive turkey sticks, salmon and kangaroo training treats, two bags of sprats, two bags of mixed meat medleys and out of sight are two bags of chicken breast jerky. Not pictured are 7 balls of various designs and another two big chews.

Today I'm off to Derbyshire to see my niblings and the rest of my family on the way to my work trip next week. Youngest nibling is brand new (September!). His big sister was a lockdown baby so I didn't get to see her as much as a little one. Making the most of the ability to travel this time around.

Next week is mine and my partner's 19 year anniversary. But I am away for work next week so we took a day trip to Chester yesterday to celebrate. Such a pretty city with so much history.

Today I used what semblance of a lunch break I have (work life is chaos at the moment) to butcher half a lamb shoulder. Which gave me a good portion of lamb to cook a Karachi style lamb & spinach curry. The photos I took are awful cos I was in a hurry to sit and eat it all but I'm pretty pleased.
Other half likes his curry on top of the rice *and* the naan. The smooth curry is green because it has blended spinach in it 🥗 The recipe calls for a very large amount of ginger and garlic (photo shows at least 20 cloves of garlic and 50g of chopped ginger plus four whole chillies). And what worked out as four whole onions (photo shows a heaving bowl of chopped red onion)

Went for dinner and when I went to look again at the specials board to remind myself how the dish I wanted came "we only have one of the options left on the specials board" and it was the thing I wanted. Didn't realise it was possible for restaurants to run out of things you don't plan to order!

Hi Bluesky, thought I'd introduce my two dogs. Meike the dachshund and old man Lupin the pug x boston terrier.
