An air vent on an old shop front. One of those simple period details that has survived remodeling over time.
Tarte is cooling. A bit overdone. First time i baked like this in many years. It's very therapeutic. Hopefully it will be edible!
"The biggest problems occur at the interface," I was once told. I wonder how the new buildings will interface with the old ones still standing.
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?

As an introduction to diversity it's a great set of books. Read more here:
I don't usually bother with lunch, other than a sammy or bowl of soup. But today I don't feel like walking far, even in the sunshine.
While watching a doco about Tony Blair on YouTube (interesting stuff) I cut the cauliflower into florets, tossed in garlic powder and sesame seeds, and air fried for 25 minutes. Peas into the nuke and some leftover marinara sauce was extended with yogurt. Finished with some grated cheese.

It's the kind of rain that soaks you before you even realise!
The full, 'Wolf' moon is tomorrow, but this woke me up this morning. I seldom close the curtains but I might tonight 🐺🌕
Whittards of Chelsea has been trading for almost 140 years. They have survived the London Blitz, family tragedies, and changing tastes.
This is one of their cheery cups that I found the other day. Perfectly sized for a breakfast cappuccino.
For the first time this year I felt the warmth of the sun. I was suddenly aware of the mind boggling heat at the face of the sun and how it dissipates until it arrives here at a bearable temperature.
It's an oak but I'm not sure which specific kind.
