Rescued a squashed avo from going to the bin. Mashed with some lemon juice and chilled for an hour. Spread on toast. Lunch for free.

Let's all have a happy Monday 👍

I cannot remember how many years its been since I've seen a payphone box, let alone one with an actual phone in it. It did not work. Not that I would have been able to remember anyone's number anyway.

In Oxford, scientists have discovered a highway of enormous dinosaur tracks. I wonder if this is at the northern end of it.

Mirror Lab Pro on a Galaxy Note9. Cloud photo opened to 3D filter number 4 called Torus Map. While playing with this one, I looked up the word "torus" and found out it's a geometric shape, and a donut is a torus. :-)

Walk in the rain and gather wild mint. Make tea. It is enough.

I was grateful for the warning, and the paper towels provided.

A well maintained sash window.

In my kitchen window. Isn't she lovely?

Today it's green soup.

Start with

Chopped onions, lightly softened in a little oil

Garlic (I forgot to buy any today =/ )

Some herbs (I used my 'Italian' mix, with oregano)

A head of celery, chopped

Kumara (sweet potato)

Carrots

Cabbage

Peas

Lentils (red as is, or prepared green ones)

Add each ingredient and sweat in turn with the lid on

Add some vegetable (or chicken) stock and bring to boil then simmer for at least 30 minutes (45 is better)

Blitz with the stick blender to your prefered consistency

Add a good amount of Greek yogurt

Lemon juice

Some vinegar (I like balsamic)

A good dollop or three of whole grain mustard

Stir well

Rest on low heat for a few minutes and serve

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

In the field were the delightful lambs and their mothers. They are painted with numbers to indicate their owner, when grazing on shared or common land.

Moored on the Lancaster Canal.

This 19th century church with its imposing spire, formerly called The Friary, is up for sale. Standing at the end of Saint Leonard's Gate, I suspect the original friars cared for the deacon keepers who lived nearby. Saint Leonard is the patron of many things, including coopers, women in labor, and prisoners.

On Castle Hill

It's been a busy day again. So what's for tea?

A bowl of steamed baby sprouts, red and green capsicums, steamed in the nuke for 4 minutes, and drizzled with flic.kr/p/2qSh4pt and a few grinds of pepper and salt for good measure. Unlike the focus here, it was adequate.

From the Wiki:

What is an attack of the vapors?

In archaic usage, the vapours (or vapors) is a mental, psychological, or physical state, such as hysteria, mania, clinical depression, bipolar disorder, lightheadedness, fainting, flush, withdrawal syndrome, mood swings, or PMS in which a sufferer loses mental focus.
