My favourite thing about the clocks changing is my car finally has the correct time for the first time in six months

I spent all day slow cooking some beef short rib for a ragu. This is all I achieved today. By the time I got to it, I wasn’t even hungry. 🙈

It never fails to amaze me how a 5week term hits just as hard as an 8 weeker. I’ll be sleeping for the foreseeable…
