I noticed this when I went to make a cup of tea this evening.
And yes, I have disco lights in my kitchen.
In-between storms we got a little sunshine and this purple flower was soaking up some sun.

Most Thursdays I try to go somewhere out of the city. This week I took the bus to the pretty market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Thursday is also the town's weekly market day - it got its market charter in 1227 for a weekly market and regular livestock fairs. It must be popular, as they are still running.
The strange arrangement of seats in front is to accommodate a wheelchair, if required. The suspension can be lowered to allow wheelchair users to get on and off without too much difficulty, and unassisted, if preferred.
The roads are narrow, and twist and turn as country roads often do, following ancient routes that follow old land boundaries - not designed for modern traffic. It slows things down, which is the right way to live. There are a lot of sheep and beef farms as we drive along, and all the animals were lying on the grass - rain isn't far away.
The handsome telephone exchange building. Built in the days when there would be human operators making connexions, machines have long since replaced them.
This is a tea light holder in heavy glass, made in the 1980s by Glasdesign Georgshütte, Boffzen (Germany). Sadly, the firm closed in 1989, after 117 years of business.
I had one of these back in the 1980s - finding an example again was like reclaiming the icon of my old chill zone when I lived in Germany. Another happy time.

No, I'm not having a bake sale! My kitchen is a bit chilly at the moment and the dough wasn't as active as usual. The result is this compact bread brick.
It smells wonderful in the toaster and tastes good too. But just one slice will do the work of two. I may have hit on something here.
Watch out for Clive's special "Expedition Loaf" coming to a bakery near you, maybe 😅
An iron staple, or joggle, where the stone block in which it is seated has split and partially fallen away. It's possible to see how the joggle sits in a chiselled recess which is filled with lead.
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 ... =]
Along the towpath are these mile markers. This one is very worn. Most likely an original from the 18th century.
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 😅
