In Oxford, scientists have discovered a highway of enormous dinosaur tracks. I wonder if this is at the northern end of it.
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.
An agapanthus seed head.
The Dutch East India Company imported this plant to the Netherlands in the 17th century.
They are pretty, but can be thugs in your herbaceous border - keep those rhizomes under control!

Excellent lozenges made in Fleetwood. Originally in linctus form, the fisherman asked for something more easily carried on ship. Hence these were invented.
They are exported globally and especially popular in Japan.
The band by the same name is not related but they are too good to ignore!
Lancaster Town Hall. It's a big pile for a town. Lancaster was a town when it opened in 1909 (becoming a city in 1937). Deigned by Edward Mountford, who also designed the Old Bailey in London. It was paid for by Lord Ashton, a local industrialist and multi-millionaire.
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.
The builders are checking the spouting and roof. Instead of scaffolding or ladders to obtain access, they are using drones. Makes good sense to me.

A poor pun - I just love the way that the Basque language is full of X, K, and Z ... and hardly ever pronounced the way I would expect. It's a real puzzle language.

And I also like this cloth, which is made from English wool.
Sometimes it needs a bit more grunt to get the lid off a jar.
I found this metal adjustable jar opener online last week for the price of a coffee. So far it has lived up to the advertisement.
In other news there's not much happening this morning 😅
I add vegetable and chicken stock on a 3:2 ratio. It seems to be the sweet spot to get the right taste.

This is why I walk everywhere now.
This ancient right of way has been in use since Roman times at least. The birds' singing encourages my ascent.
It's such a lovely day outside; I should go for an amble.
I have a feeling the summer is having a last hurrah. A cold front from the west Atlantic is approaching.

Smoke results from the incomplete combustion of fuel.
I looked out of the window a year ago and saw this - the abandoned recycling center (in a former power station) had caught fire, and continued to burn for more than two weeks.
The council had to spend about GBP 2 million on putting it out, which included partial demolition of the building so that the fire brigade could access the fire itself.
For some reason, I completely forgot to post this picture until now.
In this case two Wongs made a right. Simple and delicious ham and cheese bun for lunch and a good cup of oolong kept me going for an afternoon of wandering about.
A friend has offered to make a bookshelf to replace this little shoe rack. I will fill it with my poetry books, I think.
A new bread knife has made all the difference between a ragged, crumby cut and this clean slice.
This Richardson bread knife was on offer and way cheaper than a diamond-coated file. I chose Richardson too because it's a Sheffield company. Sadly, blades are made in China now. Just like my Sabatier cook knife. Probably in the same factory!

Said Bear turned up this morning for breakfast. His factory name is 'Happy' but he's always found that a bit presumptuous. So, Said Bear it will be for now.
