There's a new mobile Flickr app. Uploading directly from within Snapseed seems no longer possible. The workflow hasn't got easier. Indeed, the whole Flickr app seems to be slower. Adding tags seems to have changed, too. Only single words and no capital letters. What's your experience so far?

Lunch at one of Heysham's several charming cafes.

Here's one I walk past and seldom notice. The gate is a relatively new innovation, though this one has been there for a while.

'Ginnel' has Scandinavian roots, and remains in common use in northern England.

In the long grass where it likes to be.

The buildings along St Vincent Street are tall and imposing. Some are built from this iconic red sandstone, which is found across the city. The building on the left is the landmark Art Nouveau building, known as the hatrack due to its stacked cupolas.

We adopted 6 month old Dotty in November

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.

Not long after this I saw a cyclist almost come to grief when passing under this.

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.

The north door to Lancaster Priory. Looks a tad damp in there today.

Looking out to the Forest of Bowland Landscape, across the River Lune. It's green because of all the rain we've had. This area and the 5 acre meadow adjacent are part of a community-driven re-wilding project.

Having washed and dried the fruit, slice off the ends so they can stand together in a crowd. It will save time during the rest of the process.

Well, for some '42' is the answer to everything.

The cafe (downstairs - not the one in the main hall) at Kelvingrove Museum has a nice enclosed verandah that looks out into the park and across to the university of Glasgow.

Veggie couscous bake served with shredded. pickled cabbage and green salad.

Early on Sunday. Nothing is moving. Silence. The city still sleeps.

Knautia macedonica, also known as Macedonian Scabious or Red Knight.

   

On rainy days, some people read, others will do a jigsaw, and others will do what they will. Having moped about a bit, I pickled some vegetables from the fridge. At least it was something productive.

After a bright start, the weather begins to roll across Lake Windermere and a light rain comes with it. The Lake District is pretty, but remember that the lakes have to be kept full somehow!

Spiders are fascinating.

At the ops shop it appears someone was changing the colors of their kitchen

Male catkins on an alder, snapped by the river.

 

The alder likes wet, boggy ground. It fixes nitrogen in the soil. Often described as a pioneer species.

At uni yesterday was a market with a variety of stalls. I realized it's at least 2 years since I had a burger (Burger King; simply dreadful) and the menu here looked attractive.

Having gone for wild boar, I was not disappointed. No need for any sauce or mustard, it was juicy and full of flavor. Being wild game, it was lean and tender. I'm glad I passed on the cheese that was offered.

My dad said this was his favourite meal.

 

These sausages were stabbed before cooking and didn't bang.

 

Serving sausages with potatoes was first described in The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse in her book of 1747. It was published the following year in America and Ireland.

 

Pork sausages

Mashed potatoes

Peas

Onion gravy (with added Sriracha and Dijon mustard)

 

All done in 30 minutes. Bliss.

seat covering on a Stagecoach bus. Moquette is hard wearing and designed to always look clean as it wears. Clever fabric engineering.

Green isn't just another colour to me.

In the days before tarmac sealed roads and horses one's footwear became incredibly dirty. A boot scraper was a common sight outside most buildings including homes and shops.

Here the scraper has been imaginative kg incorporated in the hand rail.

Lakeland House is a residential apartment block in Morecambe. Nothing special to look at but I bet they have great views.

walking everywhere takes a little time but one sees things along the way that sometimes takes my breath away

What a wonderful way to describe a word: I suppose.

 

I'll remember this for next time I get a head cold: "I'd love to come to work but I've got the headgargle."

I went mad the other day and bought a drying rack. It makes me feel like an adult.

I love the patina on this old electrical box.
