Back in the 1980s this was headquarters of Britoil. Now bankers Santander are having the building transformed into a carbon neutral office space, while maintaining the architectural integrity of this landmark building on St Vincent Street.
Harsh light this afternoon but I found a few hibiscus showing off in the sun.
Capture from the telephoto sensor on the Vivo X200 Pro.
I rather like these - I wonder if they will be there next week?
Those handrails are made from ash - they feel beautiful; you can feel the grain on the wood.
My plants enjoy the damp but it's not healthy to live with. This is a chemical dehumidifier and the blue is the absorbed moisture.
Stoss entluftung aka opening the window (!) is a current craze. It is obvious really but energy is expensive and people are unwilling to lose heat. It's all about balance really.
Our artisan bakery is no more. Spiralling costs, reduced turnover, Brexit, Covid, crop failures, mental health all combined to drive this fantastic business under.
But it's ok because supermarket bread is fine. Not.
Our community is poorer for their loss.
Packed into the inner courtyard is an assortment of vendors. There must be decent wifi as everyone accepted cashless payment.
Nobody was selling pies, which I thought a missed opportunity. But pie eating seems to have been largely lost from English cuisine.
There was a time when Friday night meant wearing something fetching and going out clubbing till the dawn.
Now it's about cleaning and descaling the coffee machine. Less messy and strangely satisfying.
The coffee is better, too. Slightly more intense.
I found this yesterday at a local charity/thrift/op shop. I was completely captured by the lines of this simple machine.
At home, I discovered the Dymo 1470 was made in 1970, and won the prestigious iF Design Award. I can see why: it's a work of art.
After labelling some of the obscure switches where I live, I thought about how people are often labelled (which I don't like at all). I was once described by my boss as a 'Type C personality'. I thought this detail needed a label all of its own, which I shall later discard, along with all the other labels that have been applied to me over the years.
The Avant armor is the oldest nearly complete set of plate armor. It dates from the 15th century and was made for use by a knight, mounted or fighting on the ground.
After slicing and cramming into sterile jars, I added the spiced brine. Now it's a wait of 4 hours before storing in the fridge. Wait 3 days before eating.
Note that this is pickling and not canning. Shelf life for this is about 3 to 6 weeks. Over time the leaves will soften but develop more flavor.
Realtors call where i live an apartment. I used to call it a flat. Thus this is not cottage cheese.
To make...
1 liter whole milk in a bowl
Microwave on high for 14 mins
Remove to cool for a couple minutes
Gently add 20 ml vinegar
Stir gently to mix... See what happens
Allow to rest for 20 mins
Drain but reserve some liquid
Add salt, pepper, garlic, dill and mix
If too stiff add back 20 ml of liquid
Add some olive oil and stir
Cover and cool in fridge
I've added 5 ml of balsamic vinegar for color and extra taste
Enjoy 😄
Californian Poppies as seen at Araluen Botanical Park, Roleystone, Western Australia. #AlyZenMoonshadow #Androidography #Poppies
After leaving it to cool in the baking tin for a few minutes, it just lifted right out. The bottom of the tin pushes up, so that helped. But liberal use of butter on the tin before hand definitely is key.
Note the short-crust pastry - this is the first I've made, and I'm pleased with the result. I washed the lid with milk and dusted it with brown sugar, hence the color.
A mystery mark outside a doorway in Queen Street. I wonder what it was for. We are constantly walking over history.
Choisya ternata, or Mexican orange. Drought resistant and the flowers smell of fresh honey. Intoxicating scent! Just the right start to my day.
I live in shorts at home, and was delighted to find these while out and about yesterday.
This version of the logo doesn't feature the boomerang that harks back to their site of invention (Bondi Beach), which is a pity.
And no, I don't have any of their 'budgie smugglers' in my wardrobe!

Yes, Lipton as in the tea!
Of more interest to me are the warships in the background. King George V class battleships, some destroyers, most headed for Jutland eventually.
The bus floor is covered with this jolly stuff. Designed to be grippy if damp (it often is here) and to hide dirt during the course of the day. The colors are uplifting too
More clever industrial design.
Labels can be misleading and even hurtful.
Once referred to as 'that asparagus kid', Asperger's Syndrome was retired from DSM in 2013. Now rolled into overall Autism Spectrum Disorder.
But I still enjoy asparagus 😁
US460 east of Windsor a light afternoon shower falling over Lake Prince. The setting Sun illuminated the shower.
