Hot food

A sustained period of hot and dry weather has lead me to the inevitable purchase of a barbeque. Got a nice one too, folds up really small but held enough fuel to cook food for the four of us: our guests G and L, my lovely gf and me.

Didn't take any photos till it got dark, and then took a snap on my phone. Photos taken in the dark always look poor, so grainy. I've tried a bit of photoshoppery, but the only technique I've found that improves things is colour invert.

Tea and sunshine

Since I'm on a nocturnal shift this week I had the chance to get a cup of tea with MV at a charming little deli in the village. Licorice tea turned out to be the opposite of normal herbal tea - it smells bad but tastes good. Freaky.
