This is 150ml of condensation that won't be chilling my flat and making an environment that supports mold. It came from the tiles around my shower just now.
My friend suggested a window vac in the bathroom would help, as there isn't a window to open, just an underpowered extractor fan.
I got this one in a sale. More fun to be had in the morning.
The former Lancaster & Skerton Cooperative Society building, designed by Paley & Austin and completed in 1901. It has since been converted into shops and a bar, with apartments above. I think it's a great building, and I love how the changing light makes different details stand out.
I just discovered these growing on some waste ground behind my building! I think I shall gather these in the next few days,once they get a bit more sunshine! Can hardly wait =]
As I tottered back from hospital last night I was struck by the brightness of the moon and the clarity of the sky. There are an awful lot of bright lights on the side of the building (out of shot) so I was amazed this came out at all.
With sea levels rising, climate changing, incompetent governments, and wars taking place on at least three continents, and a personal inability to fix any of it, I have decided to bury my head. I will not permit any of this to interrupt my celebration of World Happiness Day.
Correction: World Happiness Day is on 20 March. I'll just have a practice today!
Breakfast today consists of fresh bread and some sheep milk cheese (a very disappointingly dead cheese - I blame pasteurized milk and the bad rap that raw milk gets, and ludicrous interference by supermarket corporate buyers) with finely sliced, pickled garlic (from a previous batch that's nicely matured), and some pepper and salt. Suddenly, I can actually taste the cheese. The other half is butter and strawberry jam.
All this is making me happy. Back to angst and weltschmerz tomorrow.

A knackered Ferguson tractor in Whangamomona. The tyres look good enough to be revived with new tubes, and some TLC for the motor and running gear should produce a workable tractor, ideal for a small holding.
Not sure what the big bolt on the ground is for, but I can see why one might keep it handy - you just never know when it might be useful!
From the castle hill you look out across Morecambe Bay to the distant Lakeland Fells.
My climbing teacher told me that a day without a mountain is wasted. I agree completely.
I cannot abide wasting food; it is so lacking in imagination, will, and sense of responsibility.
The supermarket was dumping these avocados because they have gone too soft to sell (too soft for whom?). So I grabbed one to use for my salad.
This avo has come all the way from Peru. 20% of the emissions from growing it are made of the transportation, so putting it in the bin will be more than a waste: i find it offensive.
Sure, it wasn't the greenest fruit, but smashing it and mixing in a chiffonade of scallions, garlic, cayenne pepper, and some lemon juice has made this into a delicious accompaniment for crisp lettuce, or whatever.
And the farmer in Peru has my gratitude for growing such a wonderful fruit.
The big companies have reduced the numbers of independent brewers considerably. It does the industry no good at all but increases big corporations' profits.
Took this a few years ago after visiting Kew Gardens. There's a face to be found. No prizes except a feeling of smugness 😁
Is the lamp a tree?
The cross bar below the lamp was to allow the lamplighter to rest his ladder, should he need to change the mantle, or otherwise service the lamp.
It's a quiet day at home; housework and such like.
If you want a laugh, it's just taken me the best part of an hour to make the bed with my new linen. I was baffled not to be able to find the opening for the quilt cover. I was about to get my sewing kit out and open a seam ... and then I found some buttons.
The stripes run horizontally, not vertically, as I had expected. So confused. More signs of cognitive decline? Or just an example of aesthetic dissonance?
If you are also challenged by longitude and latitude, have a read of this. It's excellent:
This shop took me back to my childhood in an instant. Dolly pegs, wooden backed bristle scrubbing brushes, and proper soap, among other delights. And almost no plastic to be seen.
Eton Mess came about after someone at Eton College dropped a pavlova and gathered it all up again. Allegedly.
I didn't drop this (honestly) but my scrambled egg was a disaster.
I didn't go to Eton, btw 😅
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Friends made me a card and I wanted to share the joy.
Peace on Earth and goodwill to all 🙏
The joke used to be that the Lada Niva, or VAZ-2121 was invented to save the Soviet government money from upgrading the roads. Now, where did I leave my ushanka?!
It's that time of year again when the bees are out, foraging and gorging. Here's one of several bees that were busy on this clump of mint.
If you look carefully, you can make out the bee's white tail.
