Not all retirees drive sensible hatchbacks.

  

Apparently the meat and potato pie is a quintessentially northern meal, often served with gravy and pickled red cabbage. With the proliferation of foreign eateries and changing fashions, it's getting harder to find a decent pie.

 

This is my lunch at the Emmaus furniture store in Preston. It was all I needed for the day ahead.

Arrange the carrots in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 20 minutes or so, until slightly caramelized.

I nearly toppled over taking this. More balance yoga required 😁

From found pieces of glass on the river bank. I like how they have been worn and smoothed by the action of the water and surrounding gravel. My face has gone like that too.

Even the same thing takes on a different character, according to one's point of view.

A man sits in the chair getting his hair done and is having a conversation with his stylist. He's delighted. But curious. It's the conversation. Or is it the hair.

Meron is a specialty coffee roaster in Bucharest. This is a nice change from my usual Neapolitan miscella of arabica and robusta beans.

 

And I also like yellow 💛

Keeping cattle out but allowing people to pass through - it's a bit of a squeeze for some - is what this gap is all about. There is probably some technical name for this sort of gap; I have always called it a 'squeeze'.

These trees put on this display every year; you can set your calendar by them.

From the current round of the Photography Scavenger Hunt: This has been my entry for "brass"

'Ready, steady, cook' was a BBC gameshow where contestants would be given a shopping bag full of stuff, and told to go and cook something with the contents. I never saw it, but I can imagine it was entertaining. Somebody on the kitchen suggested that was how I worked.

 

Here's today's mise en place. But someone has already grabbed the onions and is chopping away behind me.

It's going to be another all-in soup; the asparagus and broccolini will be added in the last 10 minutes to soften but remain al dente, to add a bit of interest.

Just over 2 l yield from this mixture. It's thick and definitely a stew rather than soup. It could be frozen, or just stored in the fridge and used over the next few days.

The joy of open source software. When the system falls over you just rebuild it and there are 1000s of people to help you do it.

A hard to find WiFi driver was the culprit for the delay in getting things working.

My 12 year old Mac lives another day.

I had to buy a new air fryer and got this refurbished model. I like the glass bowl which lets me see how the cooking is going.

It's like a hug; warm and comforting.

Just follow the recipe and watch the timing or you might burn the bottoms.

Autumn wardrobe sorted. I like grey and fuchsia.

The local hospice needs to raise millions of pounds every year. Yours does, too.

My first Advent calendar since I was little.

Each day has an text about the Christmas story and a little piece of chocolate. I'm actually getting excited about Christmas for a change.

From Youtube, I learned how to remove the top of the Wonderboom without trashing it - use a blunt kitchen knife to pry open the retaining clips, and lift off.

It takes me back to when I used to drive a CVR(T) [a little tank that was used in the recce/recon role, usually]- whenever that broke down, the first thing the 'spanner ops' asked for was that we removed the top armor.

Even a Triceratops enjoys some suds.

A little fun on a morning where it was hard to get out of bed.

Now the sweet potato, parsnips. and beans are added. Lid on and steam for 10 minutes.

Hedera at Golden hour

The cow parsley is going to seed now, leaving these dessicated umbrells that make the paddock into a sculpture park.

These are fallen seed pods from a lime tree. There are 10 species of lime tree in UK, some of which are hybrids. Europeans might call them Linden trees (as in Unter den Linden, in Berlin) or Basswood in the US. The wood is pale and straight-grained and does not warp, making it good for piano keys and sounding boards.

I was surprised to see all these down so early this year. A hard winter follows? Who can tell.

Enjyoing a new-to-us coffee shop in Lakeview.

With the speakers off (still attached by their cables) it is possible to see the circuit board. Getting closer to where we want to be.

The interior of the Cozy Jazz Cafe. Notice the ceiling; papered with sheet music! The place is very 'me'.

This weekend is the Rebellion Festival at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool when 100s of punks will converge on the town for a weekend of music and entertainment.

The young women in the picture are the line-up of the band 'Pussy Licor' and they made me promise to feature them here. Maybe a wind-up, but they added to the shot. I don't usually have people in my pictures unless unavoidable.

Doing a photo challenge with some pals, and this month's theme is "Self Portrait". I'm trying to riff on my favorite Salvador Dalí photo, but with a geeky tech twist.

A freighter approaches having navigated around one of Europe's largest offshore winds farms. Pinch to zoom and you might make out this forest of turbines .

Another wall partially collapsed.
