Chives
Olive oil

Baked quickly
I really like this tiny graffito that I saw in a local coffee shop. the slightly curved 'spine' makes this seem almost alive.
Carved into a kerbstone, a single letter. What does it signify? Who did it? When was it done?
No hydrant, hospital, hotel or other 'H' is nearby. It's a mystery.
A project by Lancaster University to show a living room of the future, equipped with objects from the Internet of Things, and to elicit people's reactions.
A visionary engineer, architect, and all round good bloke. Here's his house, near the postal depot. He even sorted out sewerage so people had safe water. Read more, here:

I love the Asian supermarkets in our city. Here's a souvenir of one of my favorite cities; sulfur soap. Bactericidal and gentle in use. For really clean hands. The scent is, predictably, not to everyone's taste.
And a splash of yellow 💛 during these grey days is welcome.
Celeriac and black bean stew, with pickled Korean radish, and rice. Garnished with crispy onions and soy sauce.
Walking along the riverside, the trees and undergrowth bury their roots in the ground that keep the banks together - come rain, shine, and flood. Sometimes the leaves are so dense that you can't see the river any more. So it's good to look at the trees, and think of Joyce Kilmer's wonderful poem:
Trees
By Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
This lovely piano was built at the Bechstein English subsidiary, and not at Berlin, around 1930 (going from the serial number on the frame). Sadly, it has not been kept in concert fettle and the keyboard and action need to be overhauled by a technician. The Ivory Act makes it illegal to sell this on, so I shall look forward to returning next year to play it again.
Notwithstanding, it was a pleasure to play.
How many people these days experience the joy of a freshly cleaned typewriter?
This is a 1960s Scheidegger Princess-Matic. Made by Keller & Knappich in West Germany in the 1960's for the Willy Scheidegger Swiss Typing School.
The ribbon is brand new, hence the 'fat' lettering. It will calm down with some use.
The Gregson is a community owned and led arts and cultural center in Lancaster. It is a gem.
Everything from slavonic folk singing to French cinema to poetry groups and anything you can think of. it's awesome. and the garden in the yard is a joy.
Having shot this in Raw, it was possible to throw almost everything that Snapseed 4 has to offer to produce this version.
Shot and edited and uploaded, all with the same device. It's not great photography, but it's fun and satisfies my need to photograph at least one thing every day, being part of my daily journal.
Thinking of the Artemis crew on their epic journey. I'm amazed they found their way safely through all the space junk out there.
The journey down all the steps is rewarded with this! The winding River Lune, wide and shallow here; over the water and in the distance is the Lake District National Park (Cumbria) and a few minutes' drive takes you to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Here we stand at the base of 'Ruskin's View', which was painted by JMW Turner. Little has changed since then.
There's no coarse fishing til 15 June, or I would regret not having a rod with me.
I haven't uploaded my 2021 fireworks yet, so here are some manipulations from an old 2015 shot from my Olympus EM-10. These are from a mix of Android apps including Mirror Lab and Chroma Lab. I love the bright colors and neat abstracts I get from using these apps.
Not long ago, the council would have removed this log from the park. Today fallen trees and logs are usually left in place, if they are not fangerous, to provide homes for beetles and other insects. All part of preserving the diversity of the environment.
Somebody brought a chocolate cake in to celebrate their friend's birthday.
It was very nice and reminded me that the last time I had eaten chocolate cake was when my mother had baked it. That's a long time ago.
Diligence will counter sloth. But once in a while it is good for our mental health to do apparently nothing.
I bought this to give to a friend who has worse ADHD than me but I've been too distracted to give it to him. At least he will get his car going for the summer!
I've bought 10 used folding market crates at a good price. Using cable ties I made a bookcase to hold my reading stack.
It seems to be holding up for now but I'll make some wedges to counter the slightly forward lean. At least I don't need to attach it to the wall as in some other countries.
Alexander Calder, c1945
From the archive.
Went out today but somewhat overwhelmed by the noise and people. So, might stay home for a day or so. Hence, old pictures but ones that I like, and hope you do, too.
I like Calder's work very much.
Saturday morning follows a ritual of hanging up the laundry and then making breakfast. It's a slow time and merits a more interesting breakfast than usual. Also, a friend just had his wisdom teeth out so I hope this is tolerable.
