Today is Flickr's 21st birthday! Today's theme is *BOLD*
Here is my lava lamp - which is used to bring me a moment of joy, and provide a bit of lighting when I eat dinner.
Did you know that lava lamps are used to generate random numbers? Cloudflare has a whole wall full of them, and cameras are used to get all sorts of measurements which are then used to create the random numbers that keep us all safe online.
The whole process is called 'Lavarand' and you can read about it, here:
I accidentally double chillied this rich soup. Added plain yogurt to quieten things down and grated some pistachios to add contrast and color.
No elephants were harmed in the making of this soup.
And this is how I'm feeling about it now:
Quiet cloudy morning, and on a gray day, these lilies were a fun POP of color on my walk around the block.
Straight out of the camera from the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
This rail is actually under construction, and I had no possibility of ever coming in contact with a train. There is actually missing rails about 50 feet behind me.
They are refurbishing this line as rail traffic has actually increased in the area.

The sheep were very timid at first and ran away when I approached the fence. Curiosity soon got the better of them and they came back for a closer look.
The temperature dial on my oven is off considerably. I'm using a calibrated oven thermometer today and hope today's results will be a bit better than earlier this week.
Spaghetti Eis. Haven't had this since the 80s, yikes!
Here's my take on the Italian flag: vanilla ice cream pressed through a potato ricer, ground up pistachio, strawberry sauce.

🍏apple and a whole lemon and sultanas and walnuts. some water. blitzed for 40s.
deliciously tart. fully aerated from the blender giving a nice mouth feel.
anyone remember the juice bar at Harrods way back? this is better 😁
happy Sunday all 👍
This is my version of kleftiko that i cooked in the microwave pressure cooker. Instead of up to 6 hours slow cooking in the oven, this was ready in 30 minutes. The picture shows the meat as it emerged before i spooned over the jus to serve.
It was tender, tasty, and nothing exploded! I substituted thyme for rosemary which worked nicely.
Hmu for the recipe.
This used to be a toy shop. In Lancaster are many old shop signs to be seen. You just have to look up.
This is currently a Chinese restaurant that is frequented by the Chinese community. My guess is that it must be good!
You can see the skeleton of Napoleon's horse, Marengo, at the National Army Museum in Chelsea.
Honey Fungus

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armillaria
It looks pretty, but ... it is dangerous to trees and spreads through the soil, via root systems. It is the fungus' consumption of the roots that causes trees to die.
You will often see honey fungus on tree stumps, or trees in an advanced state of decay.
There are no licensed fungicides in the EU to deal with this fungus. If you have it, all you can do is remove any affected trees and burn them, and excavate the soil and infected root systems.
Some people eat honey fungus, but only after it has been properly prepared and cooked. Even then, it often causes gastric distress and upset. I'd say it is best avoided.
Americans might suggest Armillatox, which Europeans can still buy. It's just not a licensed fungicide. 'nuff said.
My new dehumidifier. Expensive prior training from ages ago enabled me to work out that this uses maximum 60 watts (like an old fashioned lightbulb) only. Less damp in my kitchen with luck.
This one from a thrift shop. As much as €125 and £50 from shops nearby.
It even works 😅
I'm super happy to have saved this from the recycling bin. It's 11 years old and not supported now. However a swift install of Ubuntu (20 minutes) and its good to go. No more editing on my phone at last.
There I was looking for 305.8994. This library appears to use the Bliss classification system (BC2); anything but blissful if one is more used to Dewey Decimal. Now, which way is it to KVT?
If you are interested in different kinds of library classification schemes, just G--gle it and be ready for a deep dive into the rabbit hole =]

More entertaining than listening to the 'Lincolnshire Poacher' on shortwave for hours.
However empty you might feel, just look up to find new vigor.
How alive this tree remains!
Mad green. Idk how to fix this. A konica look, i guess 😁
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.
Last time I looked this kind of coffee maker is called a moka pot, and a cafetiere is otherwise known as a French press.
I didn't know flamingos could sleep like this. I didn't know they could bend their legs like this. Using the zoom lens on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. No edits.
Morecambe Police Station.
There must have been a sack of money in the not too distant past to build a number of brutalist police stations across the county. Compared with the one in Blackpool, this looks quite benign.
Afternoon tea with my new tea cosy. So hard to find now that few use a teapot and loose tea.
to keep me going till dinner is a Chorley cake. This is filled with raisins and baked in short crust pastry. Sometimes called fly cake for obvious reasons. Nice with a bit of butter and Lancashire cheese on the side.
Tea is lapsang with a bit of Ukrainian honey.
it's reet good!😄
Several camera shops in the area closed around the time of Covid and none of them have re-opened. This was the oldest-established of the lot.
