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.

Here's a recumbent trike made by Inspired Cycle Engineering in Cornwall. It looks seriously kitted out for daily use and indeed that's what it's for. I met the owner who was of mature years. "It keeps me mobile," he said.

The former cooperative society building in Lancaster. An interesting mixture of classical and arts and crafts elements.

La flor de clemátide

Pequeños zarcillos delicados, como manos suaves

Alcanzando como en oración, arriba y arriba se expanden

Buscando la luz …

A rose for Our Lady.

Black an White Canal

Surplus to requirements.

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.

Padova train station, way to Venice. Sunrise.

Which is exactly what I'm going to do now. Sweet dreams, everyone.

Yesterday was tough and having become irritated for the first time in several years I came and sat in this garden for a while.

 

Holding on to anger is like holding a hot coal in your hand.

Buddha

While taking down the laundry I noticed this.

 

If you have little to do today, research the origins of the Easter Bunny. It's a fascinating rabbit hole 😀

 

They darken a little more each day.

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.

aka Pyracantha - the blackbirds and the like will love these. Full of vitamins, apparently.

I'm one of those people who salutes magpies when I see them.

Celeriac and black beans, with some capsicums and a 'holy trinity' soffritto. To add a lift, I've added some ground pasilla chillies. It will be cooked under pressure for 15 minutes. The recipe book says to serve with rice. We shall see.

Having been out all day I return to find a) some fool has left the lights on and b) the daffodils have come out - how lovely!

And dump a bag of red lentils on top. They will fall apart and add more thickness to the dissolving potatoes. And red lentils are about 25% protein and cheap as.

When i cook it's like we're together again.

 

Apple, blackberry, lemon, sultana, cinnamon, Demerara sugar, finish with apricot jam glaze.

Getting itself ready for 'the Visit' is this lovely Jerusalem sage.

I might have a few leaves for salad when they've gone!

This is a double-dirty chai latte that my friend made for me today. It's his signature drink, and truly wondrous.

A fish stall at the amazing Tooting Market.

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.

The best dark chocolate gelato I've had outside Italy.

At Morecambe. Awesome.

The second gift of the morning. The wagons are full of ballast for railway lines.

I bought some loose tea. carefully weighed and packed in a reusable bag.

Today was the turn of Russian Caravan tea, which is a long time fave.
