Ask for Clive is a UK charity whose mission is to make places welcoming and safe for everyone, especially LGBTQIA.

 

They have partnered with many clubs and pubs to help make them safer spaces.

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.

What shall i do with all these tomato plant leaves? It's so end of season.

The story unfolds. I couldn't hear the narrative and was clueless from start to finish.

A hop, skip and a jump from the abandoned boot is this charming little bag.

Did this go, and then the boot? Or maybe the other way around.

Great is the mystery of life.

Reminds me of Yerevan in the fog. I've been helping to paint a room in grey. The under coat was dodgy and the surface so porous. Breaking for tea i spotted this. I rather like the effect. Too bad it will disappear as it dries.

I adore brutalist architecture.

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.

A buddleia growing from the top of a drainpipe. Looking at how the moss is growing, my guess is that the roots extend down to the ground inside.

The stone probably came from the quarry in what is now Williamson Park.

 

My second RAW file developed using Raw Therapee.

In trying to reveal the color of the buddleia I've made the stones a bit cleaner and more vibrant than they are in reality, but I like it, all the same.

A cheery window box.

I saw this in the window at Garstang. So of course I had to have a pie. Nobody's getting me!

When the humidity drops the view improves. The Cumberland Fells in the distance.

Now it's time to remove the switch assembly (top) by undoing the 4 screws holding it in place. Then remove the base cap (held by 4 longer screws. The cables are all gathered together with a single cable tie - cut with scissors to make manipulation easier.

Gently tease the battery cables away from the circuit board - you can see where they were plugged in to the board.

Astratto. Abstract. Frammento urbano. Urban fragment. Effetto moirè generato fotografando con smartphone un pannello a led. Moiré effect generated by photographing a led panel with a smartphone. Bologna 2022

 

P.S. Nel caso dell'acquisizione di un display a LED, l'effetto moiré si verifica dalla struttura dei pixel della scheda LED in conflitto con la struttura dei pixel della fotografia o del video. Poiché le schede LED hanno una densità di pixel inferiore e dimensioni dei pixel maggiori rispetto alla risoluzione catturata dalla fotocamera, è quasi certo che si verifichi l'effetto moiré quando le si fotografa. In the case of capturing a LED display, the moire effect occurs from the pixel structure of the LED board conflicting with the pixel structure of the photograph or video. Since the LED boards have a lower pixel density and larger pixel size than the resolution captured by your camera, the moire effect is almost certain to occur when photographing them.

Ok. A fanciful description but that's what I saw.

Every family has one.

My friend is feeling under the weather. This will restore him for sure.

Best made on Thursday to be served in Friday night but there's no need to wait.

A little Dala horse on a mission.

Moored on the Lancaster Canal.

What a day to be alive.

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.

After all that exciting caffeine, here is a nice hosta to bring some calm.

Today is forecast to be hot again so I made some parsley soup for me and the neighbors to save cooking in the heat of the day.

 

It's not as green as I had hoped because I added the chopped parsley too early but it still tastes bright.

Even the 10 serving contingency went today. 50 people fed. Works out at 72p per person.

giving is not just for Christmas.

A random assortment of veggies makes an unexpectedly uplifting picture. Makes a nice soup, too.

Here's an ancient Italian recipe that i just made up. People seemed to like it and it was easy enough to make. It will be better left to cool and reheated tomorrow.

Today we remember the Blessed Claudio Granzotto, hence the name 😄

Pretty, eh

In the 'land of my fathers' the Paradise Tree (known now as a Christmas tree) was hung with apples and wafers, to symbolise the fruits of the tree of knowledge, and the Redemption. German migrants spread the practice across England and America. Now everybody is at it.

 

Like many European Christian traditions, the fir tree has Pagan origins, when a tree would be brought inside, in preparation for Yule, to symbolise eternal life, fertility, and the return of life after the long winter.

 

This might sound odd given that I am of a 'certain age', but this is the first time I have gone out to buy a tree and dress it all myself. It's been fun and a learning experience. For other Weinachtsbaum virgins, the trick is to put the lights on first (and test them!), then the angel on top, then the tinsel, and the baubles on last.

  

On Castle Hill stands this charming house. I love the original sash window frames. Sadly, I could not capture the 'wobbly' nature of the panes of glass. Glass remains 'fluid' and old glass thickens at the bottom. These windows show a lot of distortion, making me think they are the originals.

Cut through, the kūmara oozes and makes this interesting pattern. Time to get it cooked!

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