Gala apples, a lime, ginger root, peanuts, dates, mint, water. Blitz for 30 seconds. Drink now and chill the rest.
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!
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.
I like the complexity of its branches. Makes me think it's quercus sinuata, which is American. So what brings it to the canalside in northwest England?
Forget daylight savings, UTC, GMT, Mountain Time, etc. Lunar time is reliable, easy to understand, and relatable to daily life.
Erysimum or wallflowers make an uplifting appearance. Today's walk was almost pain-free and sights like this made the day even more of a joy.
There's a recent trend to break the windows on this building. I thought I'd take a picture of this pretty window while it lasts.
How he did this I have no clue. It seemed to be effortless. The product of years of experience. Art that tastes good as well as being beautiful to look at.
A goods train laden with ballast waits at Lancaster Station.
Today is one for looking back fondly and reflection.
Wrought iron gates. Delicate and not really characteristic of the area. I wonder who commissioned them, long ago.
When I returned to UK I encountered the 'all day breakfast' for the first time.
My friend asked me what I'd have for tea tonight. With bacon and eggs overdue for cooking, there seemed no alternative, so here it is. Breakfast at 8pm.
When the falls of a pulley system have caused the blocks to be so close together that they can no longer move, they are said to be chock-a-block.
This drink is chocker with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Apple, lemon juice, ginger root, and water. Blitzed for 25 seconds.
The handsome telephone exchange building. Built in the days when there would be human operators making connexions, machines have long since replaced them.
This was a pleasant surprise.
A red apple
Some root ginger
Juice if 1/2 a lemon
Blitz for 20 seconds
Consume immediately!
Way too good looking to be called a potato peeler!
Made by Sabatier. It has a good weight and is razor sharp. So far I've used it to produce cheese shavings. Very effective.
This almost empty bus took me to the hospital clinic today. Heater worked, pretty upholstery and there was even WiFi. Too bad they skimped on decent suspension. The hospital visit went well, so all's well that ends well.
A reasonably expensive bicycle, securely attached with an Abus jointed bike lock to a tubular bike restraint. This morning it stands minus its wheels. A sad reminder to remove all your quick-release fasteners and replace them with something awkward, if you intend to park your bike for more than a few minutes, even in a busy street.
