Whether you call it Halloween, All Souls, or Samhain, its a time to look back over the year and look forward to winter.
This wreath looks fun and well-made. And the door really is on the slant.
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.

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!)
In the grounds of the old asylum is this forgotten reservoir. Thankfully fenced off from people. The wildlife just gets on with being wild. Through a chink in the fence this wonderful view brought me peace for a moment or two.
Frieze by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
I know this is special but all I see is a giant beetle. Not my fave of the day.
I discovered the British Library would be open 'til 8pm, so I walked down Euston Road. I've been before. I have to take a deep breath, as the exterior is hideous.
You see one and suddenly they are everywhere.
This BMW i8 is finished in pearlescent white. It's a plug-in hybrid. Years ago BMW had several hydrogen cell prototypes cutting around Munich - no rare earths, no lithium mines. I think we've gone down the wrong track by using batteries.
Rosa 'Madame Alfred Carrière' is a Victorian variety of rose that is fragrant and reliable. The white flowers hint at delicate shades of pink.
The variety was introduced in 1879 by Joseph Schwartz.
Vegetable stew made a bit more lively with Woo sauce (it's fruity, more than anything else). Time for lunch now.

Today (this very moment, BST) marks the beginning of astronomical summer, the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.
I will enjoy 17 hours and 9 minutes of daylight today, which is about 30 minutes more than in London. Who said it's grim up north?!
A Mayan custom is to tell your worries to these people and put them under your pillow at bedtime. The worry people absorb your troubles so that they have gone in the morning.
Pretty little things, they bring in important revenue to farmers and families in Guatemala. They are sometimes used by psychologists, especially with children.
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.
Continuing the astronomical theme, my bread yesterday came out like this. It looked like a visiting asteroid. This is what happens when you use up all the little dregs from the baking box.
Despite its looks, this is tasty, crusty bread and will do just fine.
Blitzed, and now coming off the simmer. You can see how it has reduced a bit. Simmer for longer and reduce some more for a thicker soup.
Being a Samaritan is not just answering the phone and drinking tea. It's hard work. But that's OK.
If you want to talk, just call.
The afternoon sun highlights the silty banks of the River Lune. The colours can be truly amazing and the shadows surprising.
Mirror Lab Pro on a Galaxy Note9. Cloud photo opened to preset filter number 41 called Kaleidoscope 1.
I say lockdown, but the UK version has been rather half hearted. Probably why we have the second highest death toll in the world.

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:

From embedded journalists to embedded spouting, I've seen 'em all now! I like how this elegant downpipe has been embedded in the masonry at the street level.
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.
You can search for all the benchmarks here:
Just the shell of this early school remains. Now it's used to garage ambulances. It's a nice source of rent for someone.
