Salade Niçoise, today’s lunch.

These are our salad days. We’ll probably be sick to death of them in a few months, but right now they’re such a relief after heavy winter stews.

Took me ages to find the key. But at least I found the secret.

It does

10 of the best scenic stays in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland From a beachside bothy to a Highland bunkhouse and lochside inn, here are some of Scotland’s bonniest boltholes

Can confirm: the Ben Damph bothy is WONDERFUL. On our first stay, we watched the aurora reflecting in the Loch. (Our second visit was marred by friends in the next room complaining about the cold. Loudly. All night. Until I went in there and told them to STFU.)

and then everyone clapped.

I knew one of the purples. Another seemed to belong with it, and I totally guessed the other two.

The blues, though????

Took me a while, but pleased I didn’t ask for a hint

It was acceptable in the friendsters

I remember - or like to think I remember - all the albums I bought on vinyl and the few I bought on cassette. I also think I remember *most* of the CDs I bought - even the landfill shit.

Not sure I remember anything I taped, and there were HUNDREDS of them.

Madrid from my balcony today

What’s this about there being no blue sky today?

I’ve now made this three times, with slight variations each time. It’s wonderfully easy and looks impressive. My latest variant, with orzo, peas and celery leaves, was a smash hit. Thanks @nigella.bsky.social

I feel better now. Thanks, John.

Great, great album. I remember buying that and the mighty lemon drops on the same day, on the strength of music press reviews. I played one of them to death.

Clearly not my day. I struggled with crossclimb, too.
