We have hung onto this suitcase from our extended family so long. It feels wrong to just hand it in to a charity shop but it’s sat empty for so many years.

Got my pendant back from repair after the loop at the top snapped off. They have made it more reinforced as it was originally just soldered.

The stone is a garnet mudlarked from the banks of the Thames.

I was going to make a spaghetti with Kale, chillies and anchovies on Friday. I decided to switch it to make a kale pesto with chillies, anchovies, parmesan and mixed nuts. Delighted with the results.

After a few days using the new Orea zero bypass coffee brewer I’m declaring it a good choice. I am enjoying the change in flavour from the Rwandan coffee beans I’m currently using.

Tonight’s beer was a classic English bitter. It was lovely and the icing on the cake was the typography on the label.

Now that SnapSeed has had a major update I have one big problem:

Swiping right reduces thing and swiping left increases them. That just goes against all my cultural stereotypes.

My favourite analog bookmark. Made for me by the Master Animator, daughter no. 1.

I changed the ink in my Ultem eyedropper pen to a lovely bright red Sailor ink. It’s a great combination of huge ink capacity and lovely broad King of Pen nib I transplanted into it

First impressions of my new Orea Z1 zero bypass coffee brewer were that coffee was richer and sweeter using the same beans.

It’s a much more deliberate process and maybe not ideal for rushing to work.

My now page updated.

Yours truly. Waiting for the family to get their delicious toasties on the day the Cheesy Toast Shack ran out of gluten-free bread. Sad times…

More Agfa Color 400 film.

Rephotographing an old favourite.

A photo from a couple of weeks ago but trying a different processing.

Curiosity got the better of me an I just ordered a Lamy/Jetream M17 ball pen refill from Japan. Keen to try and thankfully I have only one Lamy ball pen.

I have to say Dept Q was fantastic and enhanced by recognising so many locations.

👍👍👍👍 from this household!

My Hardgraft iPhone case never quite fitted the 16 Pro. I didn’t particularly want to switch to their later case that should, but it probably makes sense.

The master animator is briefly home and exploring using Procreate on my iPad.

I have finished reading the quartet of Victorian crime novels set in Edinburgh written by Ambrose Parry. They have each been a great treat.

I’m enjoying the (not boring) Camera app on my iPhone. It’s a pity the lovely HDR images aren’t handled in most editing apps and sharing sites.

They just pick-up the initial darkened and muted image.

I don’t get Android in just the same way I find Windows inelegant. What are all these things? They tell me nothing and I can’t click on them to find out more. They just appear to be there to show they’re there!
