Media uploads still aren't working on my instance. So, for the time being I'll be posting images on my blog, and linking to them from here.

She got carried away...

@gemlog
Yeah, but so far Wim has resisted temptation, seemingly.

Might've been a joke. 😃

Personally, I think Dyson vacuum cleaners suck.

Pomegranates are one of the front-runners for being the original "forbidden fruit" as described in the Book of Genesis. Apples were a European interpretation of the fruit from the Garden of Eden as they were more widely recognised. However, pomegranates were more likely to have been grown in the Middle East.

Did you eat any of the fruit? 😉

I usually use the alternative technique of cutting a circle around the stem, and then pulling the whole core out. I still get some of the seeds escaping, and, of course, they stick to my fingers.

Next time I'm prepping capsicums I'll try your suggestion.

@gcupc
One of my least favourite cooking prep jobs is de-seeding capsicums (bell peppers). The seeds stick to everything and get everywhere.

In memory of Ginger Baker who passed away to-day. This instrumental was written Baker, and appeared on Cream's debut album: Fresh Cream. Baker, as usual, plays drums & percussion on this track.

Good suggestion, but it won't work. There is already a nearby fence and about thirty trees around the tank. Over a period of months, eventually one or more deer will choose to scratch on the water pipe and posts. I could try fencing-off the pipe run, but that would be a lot of work. I'm thinking about piling up large stones around the posts to make it too awkward for the deer to access them.

Water pressure is now fully restored. I'm flushing the loo, just for the sheer fun of it!

Oh deer!

Early start this morning. No running water. I had to go up the hill, before breakfast, to see why the water had stopped. It was the same problem as previously: deer are using the water pipe, and supporting construction, as a scratching post. Satisfying their itch resulted in the pipe being dislodged.

I need FOOD!

What happened?

@bruno
"Greyfriar's booby" would be a whole different story. 😃

Someone is stealing your idea. 😉
