I once read a specification for how to securely close a garbage bag. This is one of the methods.
I thought it was a UN specification, but I have misremembered. It's all a load of rubbish.
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.
Every day yields a moment of joy if you are prepared to look.
A small tortoiseshell browses on the last season's buddleia.
With today's equinox, autumn starts in the northern hemisphere.

But of a sort. Didn't feel like cooking tonight but hungry. So i threw this together quickly. It doesn't look much but it hit the spot.
1 egg
3 sliced mushrooms
Garden peas
Blue cheese
Chives
Olive oil
Mix together in a small dish
Baked quickly
The tallest fell in the distance is known as The Old Man of Coniston, or just The Old Man (~802m). Sitting in what is now Cumbria, this is the highest point in the historic county of Lancashire.
It's very popular with walkers and has a number of well-marked tracks to the summit.
Slate and copper mining were carried out on this fell for over 800 years, and you can see spoil tips and the remains of disused mines.
This is looking out from Hoad Hill. It's classed as a Marilyn (hill over 150m), so that's two Marilyns I bagged this week =]
Apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan.
These are the pups I removed last year. They seem to be thriving on benign neglect.
In 1840 there was a massive survey and census carried out. This is a benchmark that was made as a permanent marker for locating survey instruments.
At the same time in Aotearoa/New Zealand many tribes (but not all) signed a treaty with the Crown.
These naturally shaped stones are cobbles. Not many deliveries along here these days, judging by the amount of plants.
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.
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.
Looking up at the outside of Preston Bus Station, one sees these concrete panels that support the car-park, and prevent cars from toppling onto my head.
I love the rhythm of this feature.
The town library is housed in what was originally the fire station, next to what was the town hall and is now the museum.
I don't know how old this lamp is, but it's rather nice, don't you think?
One of my great-grandmothers was Irish, and so I feel no shame in using a Gaelige name for my latest attempt at making this speckled fruit loaf, using my own recipe. I think it will do, finally.
I definitely need to get a wire cooling rack!
I don't get so many photos of Bella as she's so feisty and barely sits still. She does most of her sleeping at night, she probably thinks she's human.
Meet the latest member of the household, Number Five. He's from Cambridge, so 'Five' seemed obvious, if a bit unkind. So Number Five it shall be.
Russ Berrie & Co (the makers) was registered in New Jersey, and this bear was nearly called Tony (Soprano) but Five is a reformed character now.
What should have been a quick job turned into a debacle with hammers, saws, and gnashing of teeth. The old seat just didn't want to be replaced it seems.
This silent, slow closing seat is fitted with flexible gaskets that seal the gap between seat and pan, meaning flushing no longer propels a fine aerosol into the room. An unexpected feature.
