An edible mushroom. But not especially tasty. Leave it for the next passer-by.

Bug hotels are nice to look at and handy habitats for little creatures while all about is changing.

I made pesto.

 

As time goes on, I believe the whole world is at war, but that physical fighting isn't everywhere at the same time.

 

Another thing occurred to me too; any country consists of its people and its government. They are not necessarily the same.

At St Wilfrid's Preston

Just look at this gorgeous marble

This is Johnny's Sports Bar. It's awesome. Friendly staff and clean everything. This is in the afternoon so not busy at all.

Other than being desperate for a coffee i don't know what brought me inside. But it's reminiscent of bars in NZ and Australia. Kinda familiar territory i guess.

A more gritty view. I think i prefer it.

The River Lune became a play park for jet skis one Sunday.

If you look carefully on the right is a yellow spec - a kayaker who bravely dealt with the wash from a number of these noisy motorcycles on water.

A simple street shot at the metro waiting for the next train. There were three of us waiting and each one within equal distance. All of use were on our mobile device, except I was using it to observe my surroundings. The shadows behind the lady lined up nicely. Later adding the Lumiforms texture that matched the sync between the the three of us.

Lovely sunny day. Bonk 25

Spiced apple cake with caramelized apples on top. Made as a gift to some people who help me. I hope they like it with their morning coffee.

Knocked out after extraction. no signs of splitting or channeling. Happy days.

 

Now I need to save for and find a better grinder that will produce finer results.

 

FYI Puck is what I call my dearest friend. Is he the Shakespearan, hockey, or coffee type? I'll leave that to you 😅

Scraping my memory of database design.

I think this could do with more fruit next time.

This is nice with a generous spread of butter and a cup of tea.

After 30 minutes on the cooling rack the baking tin can be removed. I lined the tin with soaked couscous.

Walking slowly has its benefits: you suddenly have time to see things differently.

The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter

Hawthorn berries are full of vitamin C, slightly tart with a flavor redolent of apples. Maybe I'll make a syrup.

Mix of strong and ordinary white flour. Beef dripping as the fat. Great toast!

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.

A fragment of the previous building on the facade of an otherwise unremarkable storehouse.

Stopped for lunch today near Hest Bank and this was the million dollar view from my table!

The sands are full of small crustaceans that feed the wide range of birds and fish that live here. The bay is a jewel.

A nice corner for artisan workshops. A couple have left recently. Looks like a nice place for a small cafe.

A happy accident.

 

Apple cabbage stew, Jenga toast, spiced berry juice.

My replacement coffee machine has bigger baskets than my old one. My old tamper has been rattling in the drawer for a while. What to do? I can't stand waste.

 

Meet my new garlic press 😅

This is a Coade stone that was removed from one of the last three remaining public dispensaries and placed above the door to the infirmary.

Coade stone is an interesting substance developed in the 18th century that consisted of clay, terracota, silicates and glass. It would have been molded and then fired in a kiln for several days to produce this fine relief. I believe it depicts the Good Samaritan tending to the man who had been set upon by robbers and left for dead by several passersby.

Rain through the open window makes my plants happy.

Inexplicably one inflorescence has lost all its petals, revealing this interesting scaffolding. A happy accident.

I fancied something different for breakfast today. How about a tomato juice? Can't be that hard, surely?

My first ever muffins. This recipe from Mary Berry was easy and quick to prep. Not such a disaster. Oven not hot enough though: the cheese didn't lock in the batter. As Clarkson would say: "more power!"

 

Cheddar, olives, sundried tomato and basil.

 

I'm rehearsing so I can make a decent batch for my friends The Dangerous Brothers. If you are not thinking of someone when cooking, you're just making food.

As the season progresses these Limelight hydrangeas go from palest green through cream to pink.

Spiders are fascinating.

Starting the week with a reasonably light breakfast helps maintain this morning's positive vibes.
