The Main Squeeze.

Shut out.

Art is exhausting.

Alas all the little bunches that held so much promise a couple of months ago shrivelled and browned. Maybe the flowers need cross-pollinating? But the vine continues to give great pleasure.

Delicious - but a little small, surely.

Glory be. The dark-leaved canna has bloomed.

Because I can.

Magic light this evening.

Community supply of water, fizzy and natural. So sensible, and much cheaper than branded.

Stranded.

Fishies.

Just reward after scaling Monte Epemeo from sea level.

This’ll do nicely.

Nearly there.

So it begins.

Thank you, Ottolenghi

Two perfect fillets of ricciola, which may or may not be a kind of amberjack, centre of a really good meal last night.

Might be time to come out early tomorrow to harvest caper buds.

Ecce Roma. The only city I know of in which public shared bicycles were a total failure demonstrates that private shared bicycles don’t stand much of a chance either. Dickwads.

Result!

I feel there ought to be a sorrel-harvesting song, but there probably isn’t.

The watering system is functional again.

Same image, from quill.p3k.io, this time with some content and a tag. No slug. Comes through as untitled otherwise.

Baked up lovely. Tastes good too.

Today’s workplace.

@misssusanboyle telling stories about stories at

Nice place for a dinner.

And Tom Jaine! With the hard-working Maírtín Mac Con Iomaire.

Treat to see Darina Allen receive her Dublin Gastronomy Fellowship.

Great start to the meal at @klawpoke and Daniela was right; the big Galway on the left was noticeably sweeter than the little, minerally Flaggy.

Baked out just fine.

Retarded? I don’t think so. 14 hours in the fridge (the bread, not me) and this is what I wake up to.

Looks good, but what you’re not getting is the intense aroma of lemon zest and rosemary.

There’s something very sensual about the feel of a freshly zested lemon. Like soft chamois leather.
