Lancaster received a royal charter to permit a market in 1193. There's been a market ever since. A place to exchange goods, money, and ideas.
I was taken to lunch today and had this delightful pale ale with my food. It's not too strong and had a really nice hoppy nose to it. It's a nice beer and well kept, too.
And behold, some coffee spoons! Someone's wedding gift from decades past? Who can tell. I don't think they've been used ever. For a paltry pound I couldn't pass them by.
I love the mauve coffee beans. An odd choice of shade, but why not!
These odd things are worn when having a brain scan (EEG).
The wall hooks made me smile.
The caps are soaked in brine to achieve good electrical contact. Sadly, the brine was quite cold.
The good news was that activity was detected. Even better was the cup of tea afterwards.
3 shots of water to 2 doses of coffee. Slightly milder than my usual breakfast brew. Accidentally made a nice change.
Enjoy your day 👍
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.
Out of use since 1973, you can see where the line ends just beyond the bridge. Now the space is used for the overhead cable pylons. It's a strangely interesting space.
Railway companies own lots of land but it's often hard to use.
Hest Bank Station closed some years ago. However, there's still a railway crossing and a disused signal box. It is the closest point to the sea along the route of the London to Glasgow West Coast Main Line.
If you look really carefully, you can't see Glasgow Central Station!
The line is powered by overhead cables. The sound made in the cables by approaching trains is quite eerie.
I edited the original shot with 'Sly'. First time I have given this app a go, and it seems easy enough to use.
After my apparently annual roast chicken I craved something lighter today.
Serrano ham wrapped around cream cheese and dates (Mazafati) and fried for a few minutes, with shredded pickled red cabbage and salad.
So much flavor in everything. Frugal. as befits Boxing Day celebrations.
This drain pipe on the side of the recently-vacated bank is both cracked and blocked.
I was so enraptured by this spontaneous fountain that I got soaked while just watching it.
The hydrangeas approach the end of this year's glorious display. I wish I could embrace aging with the same grace.

The day after the death of James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA, I noticed this on the side of the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
Image taken for the trees on a beautiful day. I added it to the Instagram #5shotChallenge by @garethpon because it was perfect for a wicked flip! Lumiforms played a great role in adding light in the right places for abstract/illusion.
The Andersonville Galleria in Chicago has a window that looks through the gangway between buildings.
I mourn the death of our beloved Pope Francis. First pope from outside Europe. First Jesuit pope.
A tenet of Jesuit teaching is care for the individual, and respect for every individual as a child of God.
May choirs of angels sing him to his rest.
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 😁
A bee visits some common ragwort.
This plant is potentially lethal to horse and cattle but is the natural feeding plant for the cinnabar moth, whose numbers are down considerably in the last few years. This particular plant was also full of bees doing their pollination job. Humans should not touch this plant either as it can cause rashes and other irritations.
As I stood next to it in the sunshine, there was the most amazing smell of honey coming from it.
After a little while.
I rest my hand on top to prevent the apparatus launching off the bench, and to check the temperature. I stop when it begins to get warm. Top up with water, shake, and serve or refrigerate.
"Camerados is a social movement – which really just means that there are lots and lots of us (from Baltimore to Blackpool) who think being a bit more human is a good idea. The movement started in 2015 and the main thing you’ll see us doing is opening Public Living Rooms in our communities – welcoming, no-agenda places for folk to sit down with a cuppa, have a chat, and feel more human."

"Rediffusion" refers to a prominent British company that distributed radio and TV signals via wired networks, known for its pioneering television advertising and school broadcasting. The company also founded the first ITV franchisee, Associated-Rediffusion, and later expanded into various electronic and manufacturing industries before being broken up and sold in the 1980s.

I have no idea what is under this manhole cover today; perhaps it's where all the re-runs come from.
Now the ambulance station, this former school for the poor was opened 2 years before England's first Education Act that mandated basic education for all children. This school was provided by the anglican church.
Churches have always been associated with education. I was educated by Jesuits and will always be grateful to them even though i hated school.
Putting a towel loosely over the escape valve collects the steam and prevents the kitchen becoming damp. Wring the wet towel into the sink. Job done.
What should i do with these green tomatoes? I'm thinking an interpretation of salsa verde. Not enough to bother making a chutney.
This is an airvent.
The tuatara (a lizard endemic to New Zealand) and the iguana both have a third eye (the parietal eye) on top of their heads. As they age, the eye becomes covered in scales.

Staiger was a German company that made scientific instruments and excellent barometers until 1985. I found this one in a charity shop (or 'chazzer', as the young people apparently call them) this week.
Living in the rainiest city in England (Glasgow is wetter, and the rainiest city in UK), I am obsessed with the weather, and if i need to carry an umbrella, jacket, hat, gum boots ... you get the picture.
So, I am delighted to have obtained this fine instrument. Thanks to the Internet, I have been able to check the barometer's calibration, which is spot on, as are the thermometer and hygrometer.
This is an aneroid ('no air') barometer, perfected by Vidi in the 19th century. It is also the mechanism of early altimeters. Before GPS, a pocket altimeter was really useful in mountainous regions, where you could use it to support your map and compass work to be sure of where you were situated. I found it invaluable in Norway, which is very corrugated in places!
