Moored on the Lancaster Canal.

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.

This is a fire mark indicating the building is insured against fire. It meant the fire brigade would stop to attempt to extinguish any fires.

The Hand-in-Hand was one of Britain's oldest insurers.

 

The other sign comes from a railway company and I have no idea what it's doing there.

On Castle Hill

At least, that's what I felt these roses were saying.

Traditional Scandinavian saffron buns, baked to celebrate Saint Lucy's Day.

 

Their name means Lucy's cat, because they look like curled up tails.

Found at the bottom of a hedge. It deserves its day in the sun.

The kissing gate heading up to Red Hills Wood.

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

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.

Darwin's Barberry is native to Southern Chile and Argentina. It's an invasive pest in New Zealand and Australia. In England it's often used in garden hedges. The flowers will be followed by purple berries for the birds to eat and spread the seeds far and wide.

Next to the Sail Works stands this derelict workshop building. While preserving the industrial past might be laudable, I hope nobody has slapped a preservation order on this unprepossessing building. A little garden on the site would be a great enhancement to the area.

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. :-)

I've acquired a 2015 MacBook Air. I'm testing MX Linux on it before completing the installation. It's a pretty piece of hardware; too good to go to landfill.

Tossed in EVOO and some herbs. Sadly, I don't have any fresh herbs today, but these will do; rosemary and oregano. A bit of garlic powder, and we're good to go.

 

Apparently EVOO is extra virgin olive oil. How did I not know that before this week?

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.

Near Weir Wood Reservoir

 

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.

 

The house that Edmund built.

Approaching the little ferry terminal. Seen is the RNLI Fleetwood lifeboat station and the state of the art lifeboat.

 

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

The grandchildren loved this roaring T-rex

Which is the odd one?

Answer: the pink one. It's linen 😅

Every now and again I see this happy little figure around the place. Today it is on the side of the Lancaster terminus of the former Lancaster & Preston Junction Railway.

  

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.

I know this is special but all I see is a giant beetle. Not my fave of the day.

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.

An abundance of blackberries whizzed together with yoghurt and ice water. Basil to garnish bc my mint plant has given up!

Breakfast of champions. Aka you and me.

Have a great day 👍
