The last edition of Pears Cyclopædia appeared in 2017. The Internet and falling sales, and the retirement of the editor, Dr Chris Cook (after 40 years) caused publication to cease.
The soap is renowned for its purity and transparency.
In the window can be seen the iconic Magis Me Too Puppy chair, designed by Eero Arnio and manufactured in Italy.
Unlike Thomas Sheraton's outstanding furniture, of which no original examples survive, these will be around for a very long time, having been made from polyethylene.
They look fun though.
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!
If you walk from St George's Quay to the Priory you can take this lovely path. Not quite so green today but come the spring ...
Too steep to be bothered by cyclists usually. It's home to many birds and insects and flowering hedges. A haven for nature on the edge of the city.
Wearing the same sort of thing every day makes mornings easier. It doesn't imply that I do the same thing everyday; today I'm being a musician.
Ours is a shared kitchen. Another user seems to have borrowed the food processor. Fortunately I bring my own knives so we could still work.
A cook's knife, a paring knife, and a flexible filleting knife are all I ever use. Maintenance with a stone is done at home. but a steel in the wallet touches things up as we go.
I think I've finally got this cake baking in an air fryer right.
The trick is to stop the top cooking before the bottom. I used a saucer on a rack set above the mix.
Cost about 35p in electricity, so that's ok then.
The shaka hand gesture started life in Hawaii and means everything from thanks to hang loose. In other words, Aloha 😄
I've often wondered what it means and where it originated. Look it up for yourself and you will feel better, for sure.
I noticed these empty casks on the bins today. There are several micro breweries here and i recognize some of the containers. I don't understand why these aren't being returned to be re-filled.
The stones are quarried, shaped, and lain on compacted sand. The joints are sealed with hot pitch to reduce ingress of water which could weaken the sandy base.
The stones are called setts and confusingly the road is called a cobbled road. Cobbles are the natural rounded stones you might see elsewhere.
While steep, this road still gives good traction, even when wet.
This is my take on a classic dish.
All it needs is a can of tomatoes, a can of chickpeas, and some spices. It takes a little less than 30 minutes to prepare and cook, and won't break the bank.
There's enough for two generous servings.
I finished with a good squeeze of lemon juice. Some torn coriander/cilantro leaves make a pretty garnish if you have any.
I've served it with rice, with lime pickle (because I like it!) and yogurt (in case I've made it too spicy).
21 March is World Poetry Day. This poem is by Laurie Lee and it appeared in The New Yorker in 1950.
The editor's blue pencil can be wielded like an axe or a scalpel. Whichever, however, it can be a painful or liberating process. Sometimes it's both.
Read or write a poem today - especially if you don't usually.

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.
After my previous adventure, I cooked this egg in the air fryer for 7 minutes to produce this delicious soft egg. No water, no fuss, and no explosions.
The eggcup is stoneware, made by Abaty in Pontrhydfendigaid, Wales in the 1980s. I like their rustic, hand-thrown pottery.
I have no idea why I like these things so much. And I wouldn't like it so much if it were re-painted. Here it stands, doing its job quietly; distributing something to somebody, somewhere.
It stands on Church Street, the alignment of the old Roman road.
This whole row is scheduled for demolition to allow the Eden Project to be built. I'll believe it when I see it.
Meanwhile, Morecambe seems to be tying its future to this development.
Have a zoom around this picture for some interesting details.
Porridge oats, bran, strong white flour, and some Greek yogurt. I love how the crust has colored and the rise is super. Will cut after it's cooled on the rack for a while.
Thanks for the tips. Veronica 👍
Seeing this brilliant red canoe reminds me of the poem by William Carlos Williams,
www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45502/the-red-wheelbarrow
A canoe like this can carry 2 or 3 adults and all their gear for a trip. You can even hang a motor off the back It's a shame to see this out of the water on such a lovely day. I liked the reflection.
