Beardy slapheaded quinquagenarian.

Computer programmer who likes cooking and rambling and taking photos of stuff. I'm even less fascinating than that makes me sound.

She gave me a kidney so I have to say that.
I made my first ever swiss roll and we haven't had lunch yet so we are quickly throwing lunch together to give us an excuse to eat the swiss roll asap

A heron and what looks to be a juvenile great cormorant today at the lake in Nottingham university

Realised that thanks to the muffin rings, a homemade Egg McMuffin was within my grasp, and I do not regret it.

I have made a dozen wholemeal sourdough English muffins and I may soon die

Rather than just sit on my kap, our cat has developed the habit of sticking his arse in my face for minutes at a time while he pads away with his toe spikes.

Hah ta - the egret was knocking around here too, down by the cyclist.

Also some good posing by my egret pal

Nice morning!

This egret really isn't making me work for it, ornithology wise.

Keep seeing this on the BBC:

"Denmark says 'professional actor' behind drone incursions over its airports"

And my mind makes the obvious leap.

We are now officially long on shortbread.

Similar pleasure with tortillas. Although my tortilla game is weaker than my pitta

The moment when you think they're not going to puff up and then they puff up is almost more excitement than a man of my age l can bear

Making pittas in the manner of a hardcore motherfucker

Super easy too - just butter, sugar, plain flour - bit of salt if you've used unsalted butter.

Shortbread will stand in for a Harley Davidson

And the next step in the eternal search for meaning was learning to make tortillas.

Today in midlife crisis land, I've learned how to make pitta breads
