This is interesting! My new book on Gráinne with @yalebooks.bsky.social will be out in 2027. Looks like the film is leaning into the folklore rather than the history. Bet it won’t be anywhere NEAR as funny as the podcast episode we did on her on You’re Dead To Me. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Did not realise just how much pulla my recipe yields. It feels like we’re living in Moominvalley.

Henry VIII being an uneven gift giver is not shocking. I’m sure he thought the keys to Hampton Court made up for the Swiss Army ear scoop.

Find yourself a friend who'll draw you trying to murder Tintin and then, unannounced and for no good reason whatsoever, mail it to you.

Having seen the glorious Back to the Future: the Musical, I can’t help but wonder, what do we need to do to get a musical adaptation of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?

An evening with a light-hearted documentary on court Christmas traditions*. Documentary presenter: Edward VI wouldn’t approve of *these* dances, would he? My husband takes a deep breath.

Announcement to the Public: I still have an account on X but only because I couldn’t be bothered to reset the forgotten password in order to delete it.

I would really like to see an alternate history where Jane Grey remained Edward VI’s successor. The cultural impact alone must be worth at least a couple of novels.

A few potential words of the day: Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc). Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas. Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness. Merry Christmas.

Grief is big, scary, and very real. Throughout her career, Cariad Lloyd has managed to articulate both the cavernous loneliness and the quiet, hidden joy that can be found in achingly huge losses. Plus her knowledge of Austen is impeccable and comedic timing near-perfect.

This is not a cookbook. This is the story of a (fascinating) career with recipes that hit all the right notes. I came to the conclusion that there is nothing @jayrayner1.bsky.social cannot do a long time ago, but the writing in this book is next level.
