Please enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Recipe I'm cooking:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/recipes\/ginger-biscuits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Ginger Biscuits<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;-<\/strong>&nbsp;Not a typical Easter treat, but a recipe I've been batch cooking the past couple of weeks and wondering why I've never whipped these up - they've gone down a dream in my new house! Swap out the salted butter for margarine, golden syrup for agave (if you're not living in the UK!) and simply ignore the egg yolk (or add a splash of plant-based milk if needed) - and&nbsp;<em>voil\u00e0<\/em>&nbsp;- enjoy some vegan ginger biscuits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Article I'm reading:<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/toby-89881.medium.com\/explode-on-impact-cba283b908cb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Explode on Impact<\/u><\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;<em>-<\/em>&nbsp;I brought most of my formal monitoring and evaluation work to a (temporary?) end late last year. This article resonated deeply with my experience of the 'bullshit' and 'fantasy' nature of so much impact reporting - I why I needed a break. I love how it proposes a bold move away from requiring impact reporting from charities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. What I'm discovering:&nbsp;<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MQHC85whh2A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Spitting Image: The Billionaire's Space Race<\/u><\/a><\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;- I can't believe I have only just come across&nbsp;Spitting Image and did not realise it was an institution of sorts in the UK! Alongside the classic episodes, some of their contemporary political satire sketches are equally hilarious - and cathartic to watch in this day and age! - not least this one on blasting off in egotistical rockets...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. What I'm using:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freedom.to\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Freedom.to<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><u><\/u><\/strong>- I've been trialling this&nbsp;free, effective piece of software over the past month. A very sophisticated tool for digital detoxing and limits, it syncs across your devices (phone, laptop, Android, iOS, you name it), allowing you to create blocklists for desktop apps, mobile apps and websites to encourage more focused work, life and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Course I'm following:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewayapp.com\/?source=europe_traffic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>The Way with Henry Shukman<\/u><\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;- I've been finding it very hard to get grounded of late. I always seem to be thinking about the next thing I'm going to do, failing to really appreciate and just&nbsp;<em>sea<\/em>&nbsp;in the present.&nbsp;To remedy this, I've made a return to daily meditation and have been using&nbsp;<em>The Way<\/em>&nbsp;on this journey. I&nbsp;<em>thoroughly<\/em>&nbsp;recommend it - fusing a number of meditation traditions and a clear, no-nonsense approach. Doing a daily sit for 10 minutes has become a wonderful and much-awaited moment in my day!
