Sometimes this is just how I feel in the morning.
I usually don't listen to the news. I don't own a TV and never read the English press. But lately, the world's events have caught up with even me. What a sh*t show.
So, one way to address this is with music:

So, here's part 2 of 2 of cleaning the air fryer. I've run the 'hot cycle' and you can see where I have wiped down the metal parts. Without unscrewing and removing the heating element, I can't get to the fan and the surrounding areas. It's too hot to harbor any microbes (I hope) but it won't let me at any fats that build up. I would say that is a design fault. At least I will know what to check for when I eventually have to replace this one.
This morning demanded a steamy cappuccino - 80s style. But I don't have any suitable cups, so here it is in a glass.
Yes, it doesn't look like the proportions are right, but they are close enough for government work, as we used to say.
And it's my kitchen ... =]
A local tea and coffee merchant with about 200 years' history.
Here today for a cup of Darjeeling and a sit down.
Outside the Priory is a fence; surprisingly, quite a lot of it is falling to pieces. However, some ladybirds have found a home in the layers of rust.
My neighbor visited this afternoon for a chat and a cup of tea. Cake was involved, of course. She told me that she thinks I'm living my best life. How very kind.
An air vent on an old shop front. One of those simple period details that has survived remodeling over time.
Unexpectedly, this arrived in the morning post. Since returning to UK I give blood at the local hospital every quarter and they give me a cup of tea and a biscuit. It seems like a fair exchange. I wasn't expecting a badge 😅
A gentle rain outside. I love how it affects the morning light in my kitchen.
Time for coffee and a sit down for a moment.
To all you awesome Flickrite photographers out there!
Thank you all for your support, positive comments, sharing your amazing photography with me, and generally just being awesome people.
I wish a very Merry Christmas to you all!

The tourists have gone home and the gates are shut. Time to look at the pretty flowers (Aquilegia vulgaris).
"Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night."

English is not replete with words to describe a rainy day. I look north, to my Scottish cousins, who have the useful word, dreich. It's from the old Norse word, drjúgr, which means patient and long-suffering. To put up with weather like this when it is supposed to be sunny and warm would make anyone drjúgr, or dreich (which now means a damp, grey day). It's the kind of rain that soaks you before you even realise!
Some people make models to pass the time. I'm trying to restore my friend's kitchen knives. They are blunter than bricks 😅
We had to draw around two circular objects and then color them in. We had to try to achieve different surface effects, so I chose to stipple the red area, thickly layer the blue bit, and try to get the yellow smooth.
It was fun to push the paint around and see how the drying affected the way it flowed (or didn't).
There's some deeply symbolic stuff going on here which would be way too tedious (and possibly pretentious) to put into words. That's why I prefer pictures to words.
This was a pleasant surprise.
A red apple
Some root ginger
Juice if 1/2 a lemon
Blitz for 20 seconds
Consume immediately!
A kind observation about color cast ... I don't see blues very well. My new kitchen light plays havoc with my pictures. it seems!
Do. here's another go at showing my latest garlic press. What do you reckon?
These tomato plants will eventually form the base of my autumn pesto,Pesto del lunatico. So named after the local river, not my state of mind 😁
I have an irrational fascination - benchmarks!
Here is some general info:

if you are in UK, you might have some near you. You can search for them, here:

There's an intereactive map:

This one is on the wall at Moor Gate. I hadn't noticed it before today. Good thing it wasn't a snake instead!
Saint Edmund Arrowsmith SJ was a Jesuit priest who was executed after being convicted for being a Catholic Priest in Lancaster on 28 August 1628. He was canonized in 1970 and is included in the list of Forty English Catholic Martyrs.
This window is at Lancaster Cathedral.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Arrowsmith
Windows at the cathedral were mainly done by Shrigley & Hunt of Lancaster, and Hardman's of Birmingham. I don't know who made this one for certain.
