I seldom see contrails here. These were particularly noticeable.

Enjoy every moment while it lasts.

In your charity, please pray for the people of Jamaica today as they recover from this tempest.

Growing in my old garden. Their season was so short.

Intentional close focus to get that bokeh effect of a nighttime landscape.

The last few days haven't been easy for anyone. An understatement, for sure.

  

Don't worry, be happy.

 

(These sunflowers are very real, in case you're wondering!)

With time to make scrambled eggs properly, and a gift of organic smoked salmon from Norway, today's breakfast is just that. Served on a slice of sourdough toast.

 

It was prudent to make just a half ration!

 

If you're wondering, organic salmon has no growth hormones or antibiotics added. It does taste better than the intensively farmed variety.

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.

 

After cooking the onions, and garlic, add the chopped fruit and veggies and let them sweat on a medium heat for 15 minutes.

Stir from time to time to prevent burning.

This is a 1956 Lamborghini DL25 tractor that I was lucky to see at Joe Macari's showroom in 2019.

(Yes, I'm digging through my archive!).

The DL25 had a 2.5 litre twin-cylinder diesel engine, making 25 bhp. It was designed to be simple to operate and easy to repair by the farmer.

It was the Italian equivalent of the famous Ferguson TE20 ('Little Grey Fergy').

 

Sadly we no longer have Monty, he was very poorly and had to be put to sleep a few weeks ago

I saw this (one of a pair) on the steps of a Methodist church. Made by Turner & Allen, London. You can see their work all over the country.

Pistachio shells - more Christmas fayre dregs polished off.

Beautifully bound books on display at the British Library.

After a restorative cup of tea with my friend, it's time for a walk.

Not a breath of wind; Heysham nuclear power stations on the horizon, filling in the energy gap left by the turbines that are standing still.

Scrambled eggs with grated Red Leicester and a good pinch of nutmeg.

 

3 large eggs will provide about 1/3 of my daily protein requirement.

 

Physio today. so I need to eat beforehand.

I hurt my wrists a while back and sometimes struggle with opening jars.

A kind Flickr friend suggested cutting up an old pair of rubber gloves and using them to grip a recalcitrant jar.

Brilliant. Problem solved!

Here is a fine benchmark in the middle of Lancaster. Possibly dating from 1840 when a survey and census under the Population Act was carried out.

Muliple layers of flaking paint on this distribution box. I can't make out the model, but the manufacturer seems to be Hope. I wonder if this was made by Hope Ltd of Manchester.

Like a ring of broken teeth the remains of an ancient oak protect it's progeny. Possibly grown from an acorn that fell into the still standing trunk of it's parent.

 

Is this reincarnation? Or just continuation of a theme...

This is a distribution box in the street near the postal sorting office. There are always interesting flyers glued to it.

The Gregson is a fantastic community-run arts center, with a nice bar (run by volunteers), good food, and a 'secret cinema' (it's tiny!) that puts on all sorts of indy movies. They also host events, such as this dance.

 

A small bronze sculpture by French sculptor, Ernest Barrias. I loved how delicately the clothes were modelled.

Property of The Harris, Preston.

I went to a cooking class yesterday. The people were so kind and friendly. It was such fun.

We adopted Missy in November when she was 9 months old

Some plants seem to spring from nowhere.

 

It's worth getting down to meet them.
