listening to this again. kate atkinson is such a superb writer, with an extraordinary imagination.

the contrast between teddy’s war as a bomber pilot, and his post war life of quiet diligence and care.

finished this last night, and it kept me awake for awhile contemplating the power of its story, and prose, and an ending i didn’t see coming. i have read, and been so impressed by, all her novels. now to impatiently await the next.

slow cooking milk fermented with kefir and yoghurt. can’t wait to see how it turns out.

inspired by ryazhenka, a fermented russian drink, but i have no sour cream in the house.

my house smells of baked milk - delicious 😋

frankie (francine), a nearly three year old tabby rescue. wary but gaining confidence, and a big fan of food. and seems to be concerned about the aircon.

so apparently my new cat was handed in to the cat haven as they couldn’t afford to keep her. so glad they did the right thing, and now she has a secure home with us.

christmas masking.

i think this is the extent of my christmas decorating this year. i’m getting a new hip next week, and i’m too tired to be bothered digging out my christmas boxes.

over ripe pineapple, fried until a little crunchy and charred, in butter and brown sugar.

a delicious, impromptu dessert.
