I was searching for a recipe for caelacanth soup. I had confused the ancient fish for the ugly-looking root vegetable, celeriac; for some reason, I can seldom remember what it's called. In any event, caelacanth is inedible.
Of course, I wandered off the thread while trying to recall what this vegetable is called and I found a whole bunch of pictures on my G drive, labelled 'partially uploaded', whatever that means. It does mean that the file is quite small, so I thought it would be fun to have a play with it, using Nomacs Image Lounge. While Nomacs is an open source viewer, it has some embedded tools for image manipulation.
As you might notice, this is from 2019 - I have always been intrigued by cranes. This is a construction site near Kings Cross Station in London.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Romeo and Juliet
This is toadflax, specifically ivy leaved toadflax. It's name might be ugly but the flowers are nevertheless very pretty, as they cascade from a crack in the wall.
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.
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.
On an end gable in Morecambe. The bay contains many great shellfish as well as swimmers. Competition from elsewhere has seen almost all of the businesses close during my lifetime.
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.
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 😅
Finally at the top of Hoad Hill. The John Barrow Memorial is a close replica of the Eddystone Lighthouse, for which I have a great love,(family connexion).
In summer months, weekends, you can go inside and ascend the spiral stairs. Of course, today it's Thursday. A lucky break!
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.
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.
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 street in Weymouth, one summer. Sunny and colorful. Weymouth is steeped in history. The history of the town stretches back to the 12th century and includes roles in the spread of the Black Death, the settlement of the Americas and the development of Georgian architecture. It was a major departure point for the Normandy Landings during World War II.
In the summer of 1348, a ship arrived at the busy port of Weymouth. The crew was unaware that along with their goods the ship was carrying a deadly cargo: the Black Death. Within a few days, hundreds of men, women and children would be infected. Within a few months, around one-third of the population of England would be dead.
What a jolly history this seaside town has!
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.
This tree is a year round joy for me. Always visually interesting and changing colors that charm. Today it's sharing some shade.
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.
Mindfulness in cooking. The mise en place, a process invented by the chef, Escoffier. It helps ton organize and make cooking more efficient in every way. Plan, prepare, execute, reflect. It's so simple that not many people appear to do it.
ADHD is renowned for impulsive behavior. The mise en place when applied to daily life is a great tool to use.
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.
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.
I discovered a branch of Wendy's during my trip to Blackpool. I'm not a fan of fast food, but the square patties and decent fries from Wendy's have always attracted me.
I thought Wendy's had gone out of business, but clearly I am wrong.
And the company logo is just charming!

Rain through the open window makes my plants happy.
