The iron joggle is secured with lead. Other holes have been filled with lead to hold hooks for cooking implements. Today we would use a Rawlplug (patented in 1919) or similar plug.
Romany Travellers heading to Appleby horse fair.
The shape of this van is quite unusual. The finishings were exceptional. Seen here this morning on busy King Street.
The worst picture of the bridge ever. I provide it only for context. it's old and high and made of stone. And people throw themselves off it to their almost certain destruction from tim to time. It links Carterton and Kirkby Lonsdale.
A pretty little Daisy on my walk yesterday. This is a 1.7X zoom from the main sensor on the X90 Pro.
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!
Brits like their biscuits. If I don't put out a good selection my customers complain. Each type (of biscuit, not customer) has its own distinct character. Some are dunkable in tea, others lose their structural integrity immediately on immersion, creating a peculiar sludge at the bottom of the cup.
Dunking is useful for the toothless or those with dentures.
Here are a fig roll, a pink jammy dodger (some kind of weird limited edition I expect) and a Garibaldi.

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!
After baking in the air fryer for 20 minutes, turned out and served with pickled beetroot and sliced white cabbage with house dressing.
In-between storms we got a little sunshine and this purple flower was soaking up some sun.
Telephoto macro shot from the Vivo X300 Pro.
A friend has offered to make a bookshelf to replace this little shoe rack. I will fill it with my poetry books, I think.
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.
These looked a bit like owl pellets, I thought.
Loose tea: Yorkshire, Tata Gold, Lapsang.
I'll use them later as mulch on my houseplants.
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 😅
The act of joining wood or stone with a metal staple is sometimes called joggling. Thus, the staple is called a joggle.
Holes are carefully drilled or chiselled at a slight angle to accept the joggle which is hammered-in under slight tension; this pulls the joint together. Molten lead is then ladled into any gaps to seal the hole to prevent corrosion and lock everything in place. Excess lead is chiselled away when cool.
Seen here is a fireplace lintel that has previously cracked and then joggled.

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.
Today is Sunday, when I try to mark the afternoon with Kaffee und Kuchen. It's a gentle, even mindful pause that helps to close the previous week and prepare for the next one.
I scorched the top of my cake last week, but no harm done. However, I thought a simple frosting might improve things.
Here it is:
200g Greek yogurt - strained, or just as thick as you can manage
30g Caster or icing sugar
5ml Vanilla essence
In a large bowl, mix everything thoroughly
Chill in the fridge for 30 mins
Spread or pipe as necessary
It will store in the fridge for a few days.
