Breakfast, like many things, is a ritual for me. Saturday and Sunday mean toast and marmalade, coffee and a glass of a whizzed up fruit.
What's your favorite breakfast?
After a good bit of walking I needed a sit down and refreshment. At 'The Milking Parlour' in the charmingly-named Jingling Lane, I got everything I needed. And that included this delicious, refreshing and delicate elderflower sorbet. All the ices sold here are made in a nearby farm. Buy local, as the slogan goes.
Make lemon curd.
My first attempt.

Not only is this tree covered in bark, which it sheds naturally, but it is also covered in ladybirds.
I found some toaster bags online a while back, and never knew what to do with them. My friend suggested cutting my muffins (not a euphemism) in half and heating them in the toaster.
The guy's a genius.
I have no clue what the bags are made of, but I don't expect to be around long enough to suffer any long term effects.
A room without plants is a dead space to me. So getting this pelargonium to do anything other than keel over has been a great satisfaction. The flowers just appeared overnight.
Re-potting all my plants a fortnight ago seems to be what they all wanted. The echevaria has done so well it produced 6 pups, which are now in troughs.
I don't have a garden and window-boxes appear to be verboten, so this will have to do.
Cymbalaria muralis has many names: toadflax, wandering sailor, Oxford ivy, mother of thousands. You can use it in salads but in moderation. It is slightly numbing but too much is toxic.
The Tunisian harrisa paste cans looked such fun that I've bought one to test this weekend.
Schönen Feierabend! The celebration of the evening, literally. It's time to put the tools down, and kick back a bit.
This is a Becker 'Bel Mondo' tea light, made at Georgshütte, Germany, some time in the 1980s. It's nice to look at in itself, but comes to life when you light a candle in the middle. It's for keep your coffee or teapot warm, but makes a nice backlight for any room.
The factory closed in 1989, so this is a bit of a gem to have found.
And yes, I am feeling a bit nostalgic today!
Frieze by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
I know this is special but all I see is a giant beetle. Not my fave of the day.
A report has been published this week by the Meteorological Office whose records began in 1884. The UK climate is different now from just a few decades ago. England is now hotter and wetter than before.
Being mid July I was hoping to dispense with my sou'wester and oilskins for a few weeks more. Seems not.
Time to enjoy some Chopin played by Daniil Trifunov:
A great source of unusual products. But no canned squid today. But there's a super restaurant upstairs. Plain decor that hints at extraordinarily good food.
"Boris Bonk" as written on a hoarding protecting a building site.
'Boris' reminds me of a politician, but I will get over it.
I just really like the script here!
Forty Five Records is a specialist vendor of vinyl records. Not on a main street, there's a quiet courtyard in front of the shop that makes for a wonderful place for a coffee. Fortunately, Forty Five has an excellent coffee machine and an even better barista.

The butterfly is one of the symbols for ADHD. Like many people with ADHD, I wonder if she is wondering what she is meant to be doing next. It is often a feeling that is so overwhelming that one ends up doing nothing at all.
Today is bread-making day again. Looking into my baking box, I found several almost empty bags of different kinds of flour. So I weighed them all into a bowl together, and this strange looking bread is the result.
It's a policy that makes a lot of sense. If you buy everything online, don't be surprised to find an empty high street.
living in an apartment need not exclude gardening from ones routine. I've planted hyacinth and frittilaries for next year. and potted up the specimen that I rescued from the trash. it's been recovering over summer and has put on some strong growth.
