Five years after moving in to our house, we're painting the kitchen, the final room to be redone. This has involved the purchase of seven new tester pots in addition to the ones we had already.
A pyramid of 48 tester paint pots, mainly from Farrow & Ball and Little Greene, in various mainly tasteful colours.

This is what will finally push me into using Kagi as my primary search engine. It's only by going to multiple links and critically evaluating their content that I can find useful answers to translation-related queries. www.ft.com/content/dec8...
Screenshot from the FT, reading: 'Chief executive Sundar Pichai used the conference to launch what he called a "total reimaging of search" to address the challenge from AI chatbots. What the company is calling "AI mode" will be embedded in its search bar, browser and apps, allowing users to receive conversational answers to questions instead of a list of blue links.'

Homemade elderflower cordial is delicious, honestly. Even if it does look exactly like a hospital pee bottle.
A glass bottle almost full of a yellow-green liquid standing on a kitchen worktop.

Happy #BlueSkyMonday to those who celebrate. Lake Akkajaure, August 2016.
Moutains, forest, and a glacier reflected in the absolute blue stillness of the lake.

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery
The iron bridge at Ironbridge (the first iron bridge in the world), in autumn, framing buildings across the river.
