A cloudy day snap from the "poorest premium phone camera" I reviewed of last year. When even the weakest cameras on our phones can turn out shots like this, I think we're in pretty good shape for mobile photography.

Dinner out last night. Feeling very much overfed.
Rachmaninov on the radio.
Black coffee from Nicaragua.
Juice is apple from Poland, orange from Morocco, almonds from USA, and cinnamon from Vietnam.
5 continents is what Ill call this drink. it needs ginger. next time.
Coffee, candles, incinerated toast and lemon jam. Apple whizzed up with a handful of oats and almonds and cinnamon.
A dose of charcoal is good for the gut from time to time.
A symbol that I seldom see these days. The CND symbol became known universally as a peace symbol. It's the semaphore letters for N and D (nuclear disarmament) enclosed in a circle.
Invert it and it becomes U D (universal disarmament) or the tree of life. However you look at it, it makes sense.
From Dr Samuel Johnson'sDictionary of 1755.
Looking at how so many places of manufacture have been moved abroad, Johnson was remarkably prescient.
I bought this remarkable book last week. Not a page-turner but certainly an interesting lens on an older form of language and how time has changed it.
I was recently asked if Trivial Pursuit was available in UK. It is, in many flavors. Here is one I saw yesterday.
There are few things that I can imagine would be a better definition of 'waste of time' than playing this 'celebrity' version.
Bread pudding has been made in England since the 11th century. Over time other ingredients have been included, such as milk, eggs. butter, sugar, and fruit.
Here's yesterday's attempt, with wholemeal bread, served with custard. Calories and comfort.
The water company gets a hard time about discharges into rivers and the lakes, but the water that arrives at the tap is second to none. It makes a splendid cup of tea, with absolutely no weird chemical tastes that I have experienced in other places.
Ready made puff pastry, with a dollop of bramley apple sauce in the middle. Brushed with a little milk and dusted with ground cinnamon. Baked in the air fryer for 10 minutes.
Served with Greek yogurt and flaked almonds.
A simple dessert after a simple salad.
I think more will follow in due course.
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:
What to do with a surfeit of nuts? I roasted these in a mixture of melted butter, honey, and a bit of cinnamon. Spread to cool on parchment, and given a few twists of sea salt Just 7 minutes in the air fryer to transform the good to something better!
I've had an order for another jar. I'll add sesame seeds this time at the cooling stage.
I'm normally gentle with my kitchen tools but I have fruit to use up. Packed in to the max line.
Apple
Orange
Nectarines
Almonds
Walnuts
Cinnamon
Water
Looking through the canal bridge, one can see the canal. It's still there but is now silted up. It's not just a case of clearing out the weeds, but that would be a start.
The fruit has remained suspended in the matrix. Encouraging.
Still warm and spread with butter this makes a nice breakfast treat with coffee.
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!😄

This leaflet was in my postbox this week. In future, 2nd class mail will be delivered only on three days each week in order to allow more time to be spent on parcels.
As a letter-writer this does not fill me with much optimism for the future of the letter post. Other countries have already got rid of it.
Email just isn't the same. Perhaps I should go back to short wave and Morse , or semaphore, for the personal touch.
In case you didn't know, Royal Mail is currently owned by a Czech billionaire, not the royal family, or even the people (as it used to be for nearly 500 years).
Or just to chill for a little while. Vikingur Olafsson playing Bach on piano is an extraordinary experience. For me it has always been Wanda Landowska and Glenn Gould (when he was a bit older); but Olafsson is specially gifted.
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.

Craving a fish cake for tea, I decided to make my own. This was inspired by a Jamie Oliver recipe that uses canned goods and leftovers. I'll add the recipe later.
Cooked in the air fryer, there's less fat than if fried.
Timing is everything. Just a few minutes later and this bus would have been full of students.
The potholes combined with the hard suspension made this an almost terrifying journey. The first bang made me think we were being shot at. Really.
Damp has caused my Brabantia canisters to go rusty. So off to the bin with them.
I've found this and one other in the thrift shop. Just the thing next time I head off on safari.
A childhood memory is of the bizarre mush that daleks ate. It looked like this.
Homemade basil pesto. Mad color, that's completely natural.
For some reason the yogurt split. Not the usual brand; I think it might have had a thickening agent.
A tell tale of over loading or overheating from a Nutribullet is leaking from the base bearing assembly. No such eventuality today.
This made a pleasant if innocuous breakfast smoothie.

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.
