I chucked a load of carrots, celery and onions in the food processor, and froze them flat in separate freezer bags, so I'm not limited to using them only for soffrito. The level of satisfaction this has given me is almost obscene.

The topside of a common blue butterfly, and the underside of another common blue. Or possibly the same one. Hard to tell, really.

Every once in a while I look up the Airlander 10, aka "The Flying Bum", to see if it's gone into production yet after years of delays. Answer: not yet, but they're building a factory and taking orders, so that's progress.

This time I tried adding Tajin to the margarita lolly mix before freezing, and it's more convenient this way, but the lolly has taken on a muddier look. I shall return to the "jaunty sprinkle of Tajin on an opalescent surface" look that I achieved with the last batch.

That's the North Sea. The tide goes out very quickly here because of the mud flats, aka Doggerland West. Hopefully some waders will come along and partake of the buffet.

I've taken the day off to visit St Peter-on-the-Wall in Essex. Isn't she a beauty? The oldest building in the UK that's still in use and that hasn't been substantially altered (yeah jog on,St. Martin's Church of Canterbury). Built around 654 AD out of the remains of a Roman fort by yer man St Cedd.

This used to be my local public golf course. It wasn't well maintained and Covid made it unviable. Now it's a stunning giant meadow of grasses and wildflowers. Spot the Central Line.

My neighbour the drug dealer doesn't drink wine, so he's regifted me a bottle of Romanian sweet red wine. Now I'm no expert, but when it's wearing hessian slacks, I'm guessing that's a sign of supreme quality
The label on the bottle reads "Soapta Calugarului vin rosu Demidulce"

There are cows pon de marshes at Rainham, interfering with the sightlines from the hide. Good for them. Us birders need taking down a peg or two from time to time.
