(Ad) Watch as I create jerk chicken using a @simplycookcom recipe in 22 seconds!

Okay, it took a bit longer than that in real life, but the end result was tasty. I also created a Cuban pasta dish, tacos all pastor (...which I had for breakfast) and murgh kari.

The great thing about SimplyCoook is that the recipes are simple, the deliveries are designed to fit through your letterbox and they create very little waste.

There’s more on the blog if you’re interested (link in bio).

I’ve been experimenting with presets again!

In case you don’t recognise it, that’s @theshardlondon

It’s actually an old image because I haven’t been into Central London in over a year. I was going through old images when I stumbled across this one and it got me thinking about ye olden days, pre-2020 when I’d probably visit the city once a week or so.

Who knows, maybe I’ll get back there soon?

Where have you not visited in the past year? Do you miss it? Do you not care? Leave me a comment, I’m interested (full size image on the blog if you want to take a look, link in bio).

(Ad) Cooking pancakes on a gas grill. Yes, that was the first thing I cooked on the @charbroil_uk gas grill barbecue I’ve been using!!!

I’m a big fan of Charbroil. I’ve been using one of its gas grills for a couple of years. Indeed, Lockdown No.1 would have been much harder without it!

I’ve recently been trying out is Professional Core B3 gas grill. I wasn’t disappointed. It’s a joy to cook on.

Kayaking, Geocaching, crazy reading completions: All ways to get outside with the family after three months of lockdown.

What are you doing to get active over the Easter break?

I’ve produced a list of ideas that you’ll find on @microban’s Cleaner Home blog but do tell me what you’re getting up to.

Awkward truths men need to hear: During lockdown,

Awkward truths men need to hear: During lockdown, instances of domestic violence have increased, admissions to psychiatric hospitals have increased and so has many men’s alcohol intake.

That doesn’t make men a problem to be fixed. It means some men have health issues that need addressing and they’ve been exacerbated or created by a year of in / out lockdowns and stresses caused by COVID-19.

I’m delighted to feature an article by leading psychotherapist @noelmcdermott on the blog today. He explains how lockdowns have impacted on men...and provides some actions for men to undertake to improve their #health and #wellbeing. I won’t tell you it’s an easy read, but it’s an important read for all men or anyone else who is concerned about a male relative, partner or friend. Link is in the bio.

Wishing all my followers a happy Easter.

I hope you are able to meet outside with family and friends today, but sparing a thought for those of you who can’t.

The change in seasons, the continuing vaccine roll out, the relative success of schools reopening...it all feels a bit more hopeful, yes? Do you feel more confident about the future?
