Reader, I do not know the demons that haunt your dreams, the frustrations and insults of life that have brought you to your knees, the sadness you battle in your heart.
But know this: there is pure goodness in this world. It exists. Sometime we see a glimpse of it.
Today, I got such a peek.

Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know.
Apricity (17th century) is the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day.

Recent research shows that an ordinary cup of tea is effective at alleviating anxiety & lifting mood.
The antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) along with the amino acid L-theanine & caffeine acting together actually improve mental health & memory.
It's not just an old wive's tale, it works.

We have survived the weird smell of chocolate vinegar for 18.5 hours of forced air drying at 88F. A lot of interesting chemistry has happened in fermentation, has continued through drying, and will blossom into glorious flavor when we roast.
For now though, victory at 6.6% moisture. Ready to roast.

Three species of solitary mason bee in Britain and Ireland make their nests in abandoned snail shells. After laying her eggs inside her chosen shells, female Red-tailed Masons cover them with chewed-up leaves... so they look like they've been covered in pesto!

Dangerous Coats
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition

#RecipeOfTheDay is the richly rewarding Chocolate Meringue Truffle Cake! If you’re wondering why you can’t see the meringue, it’s because it plays an unfamiliar role here, forming this luscious cake’s base www.nigella.com/recipes/choc...
Chocolate Meringue Truffle Cake
This is a favourite from a time, far in the distant past, when I went in for dinner parties! My late sister Thomasina brought it into my life about 40 years ago, and I still love it. Don't worry abou...

Here’s my favourite tree in the late Spring.
She’s a beech that grows out of the remains of a 300 year old mill.
I’ve known her all my life 💚❤️

So here’s a tale of Davie o’ GalGael.
Bang!
A car runs into his car from behind.
Davie’s arthritis gets a jar, but his car’s OK.
The guy offers his insurance.
But Davie doesn’t want to put the poor man through it.
So pure Glasgow Zen, he says:
“I’m alright!
You’re alright!
Fuck off!”

Tonight, with a starter I got at a show a couple of weeks back (Aran agus im) I made a damned fine sourdough loaf (and it was far more luck than good judgement) please give me your tips for making it less of a faff though!
