The quince tree is in blossom. There seems to be a good amount. But so far the conversion rate of blossom to quinces has not been very spectacular year on year.
Year one: there was a quince, the squirrels stole it.
Year two: there were no quince. I guess that meant the squirrels couldn’t steal them.
Fingers crossed for better luck for this year.
Yesterday (and the day before) I did lots of tidying and sorting in the dining room.
And I made it all nice looking again instead of the junk heap it had become.
Here is one of the things that I think makes it look nice.
This morning while it was still sunny I took some pictures of the things springing to life in the garden.
This is my bay tree which has decided to flower.
Not sure if thats a good or a bad thing for a bay tree but it looks quite pretty.
A few weeks ago the nice people at Kent & Fraser asked me if I wanted to try some of their gluten free biscuits.
Last week I was walking from Holborn to near Oxford Circus.
I went past the works going on at Tottenham Court Road. I saw these words painted high up on the side of the building.
Not visible until now.
And they’ll be hidden again soon. But they’ll still be there.I’ve been doing some bits and pieces of web design recently in WordPress.
One of the tools I really like for picking colour schemes or playing with palettes is Color Scheme Designer.
There’s hours of endless fun to be had coming up with bonkers schemes.
And of course it is very helpful when you need to design a scheme or adapt one for some one.
I know its really bad.
Chips are bad aren’t they anyway. And to cheat as well. That’s doubly bad.
Surely I should make my own. But why would I bother when I can have these.
Because they really are very good. Nearly as good as my Grandma used to make and she made amazing chips.
I reckon its the beef dripping.
And all with no boiling oil. Fat fires. Or smelly house. Its genius I tell you. Genius.
