Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland and made his fortune in America. He endowed many libraries in UK, including this one. I don't think I'm being overly -cynical in thinking this was tax deductible. Nevertheless, many people had the opportunity for learning and advancement that they might otherwise not have had.
To support your mental health, it's important to be realistic about things.
When setting objectives, be
Specific about the aim
Measurable - how do you know what success looks like
Achievable - aim for something that you can do eventually
Relevant - do something that means something to you
Time based - when will you start and finish
This used to be a shop, but is now a beauty parlor.
The co-operative movement started in Rochdale, and you can read more about it here:

It's an interesting and important story that is still relevant.
I half expect to see some forgotten creature.
This one started as raw and after fossicking around for a while, looks like this. Not convinced the jpg from the phone is much different.
A shop is being refurbished.
I love this old glass; it has very slight flows and ripples that are absent from modern float glass.
Pausing in the sun. The red squirrel benches are all over the area. The red squirrel was the emblem of the old Furness Railway, and a number of replicas of these railway benches were made in 1996, which was also the year of the red squirrel. For every bench sold the council donated towards an effort to preserve the habitat of these endangered animals.
Comfortable to sit on and take a moment to take in the view.

A light lunch of things that are past their sell by date, but within the use by safety period.
Delicious and nutritious while preserving my cash.
Eggs and red Leicester cheese.
Steamed spinach and parsley.
Tomatoes in oil and vinegar.
Turkey bacon (whatever that might be!)
Damson ketchup.
And mendi spices for extra interest.
From the website:
This program is an audio-player, written with the help of the Qt library. The user interface is similar to winamp or xmms.
It includes the visualizer and analyzer that you can see here; you can them off, ad lib. The equalizer is easy to use so that you can make the most of the speakers in your computer, or whatever you have connected. It's very efficient in terms of use of memory use. It runs nicely on my Mac, which is running GNU/Linux, and you can also get versions for FreeBSD and even Windows.

The local water company had a pop up information stand at the local mall the other day. Giving useful advice to avoid freezing pipes and wasting water. They gave me this ice scraper 'free'.
Imagine my amusement to read that water bills are going up again, 'to cover investment in infrastructure'. The share price is up 30% over the year, so dividends should be up, too. I should be grateful for my piece of plastic.
Another window by Shrigley and Hunt. This one from 1931, at the Lancaster Baptist Church.
This window was most likely made at the works opposite Lancaster Castle. The richness of the colours is legendary.
I love laundry day and it's so nice to be able to dry in sunlight again.
The plants benefit from the extra humidity.
We once had a decaying oak tree in our garden, where stag beetles used to thrive.
I saw this one in London some years ago. They look fierce, but are just trying to get through the day as best they can, just like you and me.
I'm not a train enthusiast but I enjoy seeing unusual trains. This Pullman train is painted in Nanking Blue. It's some kind of excursion rather than a scheduled service, and 'fine dining' is available onboard.

Having added stock - I used a mixture of chicken and veggies stocks - brought to boil then simmered for another 15 minutes, this is the result.
Baked beans in tomato sauce have been produced in Britain since the 1880s, and became popular after an advertising campaign in 1927.
The medical people say they're good for you, containing protein, fiber, and vitamins. They're relatively cheap and take little effort to produce a light supper - beans on toast.
Originally known as the Storey Institute, it was funded by philanthropist Thomas Storey in the 19th century to promote art, science, and literature.
Today it is an important center for arts, innovation, and creative business.
There's a weekly changing exhibition space and an excellent cafe, too.

Another benchmark. On St Mary's Gate this time. I can't find any record to state they were cut on anything other than vertical structures.
Some pain-free walking would be appreciated now. It's nice to be able to walk about and see what's what.
Making the base.
Allowing everything to sweat under a lid develops flavor and gives me time for an espresso and a smoke outside.
Those activities are also a perfect timer 😅
'Door furniture' is a less shocking appellation than 'knobs and knockers'.
Somewhat neglected but developing a wonderful patina.
Once upon a time not so long ago I had the privilege of helping to manage a few hives. Keeping bees is a great way to learn about your local environment and its overall health - hungry bees don't produce much honey.
MacFie's book came out in the 1930s and it has become an absolute classic and is well worth reading today.
