He's out there, enjoying the view.

it's a stratus nebulosus kinda morning.

time to get ready for work.

The hydrangeas approach the end of this year's glorious display. I wish I could embrace aging with the same grace.

Found during excavation for the canal. The Roman road was on a similar alignment.

For 40. 2 trays enough for 40 and a few second helpings. £24

This is the entrance to the former Shrigley & Hunt stained glass works. Now the building is used as student accommodation.

I think the monogram has been executed with great style.

English farmhouse cheddar made from goat milk.

I bought this on special last week. It is absolutely astonishing!

Firm yet creamy. A subtle tang. Some sweetness.

That's lunch sorted.

Enjoy with some fruit and a plain digestive biscuit.

A classic and historic recording. Almost enough to make me return to vinyl.

A drink of two halves

Lunch at the market consisted of a sausage barm (local name for a bread roll) and cup of tea.

Locally produced sausages. Delicious simplicity.

Another of the window dinosaurs

I liked the way the windows were reflected in the wet and clean tiles.

Today the world celebrates World Typing Day, where we reflect on the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of typed communication.

This is my double-shot pudding keyboard in QWERTY layout, as invented by Christopher Latham Sholes in 1874 for his new-fangled Type-Writer. I have tried other layouts, including Dvorak, but always come back to this - it's hard to overcome muscle memory.

You might use QWERTZ, AZERTY, ŪGJRMV, ЙЦУКЕН, or another kind for your own language. But they all kicked off from QWERTY's original design and purpose (increase speed and acccuracy, and reduce the chance for typewriter mechanism to become jammed).

A nineteenth century bronze cast of Giambologna's famous statue of Mercury.

The caduceus has two snakes, which is different from the one associated with medicine, which has only one snake.

This is a pretty old window and the glass is most likely the original 18th century glass that was mouth-blown into a long cylinder, which was then flattened and cut into smaller pieces for subdivision into window panes. Hence, these interesting distortions.

I have acquired a new bread machine and this is the first product.

Cloudy day and soft light, picked a dandelion on my walk. The macro sensor on the 15 Ultra is a lot of fun.

I was feeling a bit out of shape this morning (yes, 'round' is a shape, but I'm not talking about that). But my shirt cheered me up no end with its cheerful label =]

A shop is being refurbished.

I love this old glass; it has very slight flows and ripples that are absent from modern float glass.

It may be June but flaming it isn't. I'll be happier when at least two of these floats sink.

Graffiti adorning the bathroom door at The Libertine, Mythomroyd.

Small and dense.

Nice with coffee.

He'll not make old bones, is a saying that I heard once.

In other news, I found these memorials to Sheffield's cutlery industry yesterday for a tiny sum.

Probably wedding presents from long ago, kept in the drawer for high days and holidays.

Some say one should eat fish with two forks, others with just the fingers. Me, I've always liked fish knives.

When i get anxious or overwhelmed i don't shut down; I clean. So last night i ended up cleaning the inside of the lab story cistern and accidentally broke off the ball of the ballcock. This morning i filed and gorilla glued the parts together and finished it with the hot glue gun. I "captured the moment" with this shot. It's a coping strategy.

The good news is that the loo is immaculate and the flush is even better than before 😁
