You might call them mugs, but here they are beakers. Well, they were till mass communication arrived. Some people still call them a beaker and I shall encourage it.
The trees look bare but in fact they're full of little brown birds and long-tailed tits, darting about hither and yon.

Faff about with garnish if you must... Parsley, more oil, pretty red things like pomegranate seeds or chili flakes if feeling macho

The cayenne is a nice afterglow and my lips are still tingling.
Formerly known as the trawler men's site, where nets were laid out, it became decrepit by the 1990s and abandoned. It was remodeled into this little park, laid out in the form of Morecambe Bay.
This garden wall was constructed, many of the stones being Roman (reused) and Isaac Newton published his groundbreaking Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, establishing the laws of motion and universal gravitation. The Parthenon was destroyed when a Venetian mortar hit the Ottoman gunpowder that was being stored there. And it was no longer illegal to be a Catholic in England.
So, there were ups and downs, as usual.
After cooking a batch of pasta sauce overnight, it's quickly cooled before being stored in the fridge.
The soffritto was finished, so chopped (aka 'chapped'!) vegetables added, and covered to sweat for 10 to 15 minutes.
What to do with too many limes?

Saturday morning. Breakfast. Take some time and have fun. Rock melon that's so ripe and sweet, dusted with a little ground ginger. Mendelssohn's 'Calm seas and a prosperous voyage' playing on the radio.
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.

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.
The Worm Moon is so-called because now the ground has thawed, the earthworms will emerge - look for worm casts on the soil.
It's also called the Lenten Moon (because it's Lent!). It comes from the old German word 'Lenzin' which means spring.
I took this with my Pixel - I quite like the artefacts and flare.
In Blackpool there is a trail of about 70 elephant models. There's an app to help find them. It's all for a charity to collect donations. A little bit of fun.
Leaving Kelvingrove for now. Even the door handles are works of art.
It was a great visit and I look forward to returning soon.
Having a rare excursion away from the fridge. You fill this with sodium bicarb and leave in the fridge to absorb any smells.
The best thing is to keep everything covered properly and not leave in storage too long, but this just looked like fun.
If your knife doesn't glide through a tomato it needs sharpening
Blunt knives can skip and that's when accidents in the kitchen often happen.
This was lunch today.
This piece is called 'Dual-Form' and was created by Barbara Hepworth in 1965. There are six others in different parts of the world. This one is at Lancaster University. I was itching to set about with some hedge trimmers to tidy up the bushes, but I seem to have arrived without any gardening equipment!
A somewhat surprising and amusing urinal.
To be sure. I don't make it a habit to take pictures in toilets but, being alone, I couldn't resist this.
I love this church. A riot of marble. It played a very important part in the story of the emancipation of Roman Catholics in England after the Roman Catholic Relief Act in 1791. This church was founded by the Jesuits, and they still run it today. It has done many good works for the people of Preston and the local area.
The church was designed by Ignatius Scoles and Samuel Joseph Nicholl in neo-classical style and completed in 1794. It is lined with a light yellow veined marble from Molignes, a golden Sienna marble, and has a skirting of Egyptian Green marble. Immediately behind the altar is a mosaic depicting Pentecost, the central figure being St Peter, which dates from c. 1960.
