Have you ever seen a more tree-shaped tree?

Angel rays over the Forth

Another June, another Edinburgh Pride. The acrobats in the center of the picture were doing really cool stunts the whole way.

Sunny view from Crammond Brig.
A picture looking downriver from Crammond Brig on the outskirts of Edinburgh. The sky is blue with wisps of cloud and the banks are bright green in the sunshine. The river is calm and murky.

Tonight's dinner: bangers and mash, with fried onion, leek and spinach and saurcraut. Served with a sweet rhineland white wine and english mustard.

There's a lot of reasons I love the Gene-Stealers, but one of the big ones is how characterful the sculpts are. Love these gribbly fellas.

Gumbo! I've been craving cajun food, so I've tried to put together something myself. Now to find some way to get a Po'Boy...

Really happy with how this sump tentacle ended up.
A caucasian hand holds a painted model of a tentacle emerging from a manhole. The tentacle is off-white with green spikes and green-blue boils, and the manhole cover is rusty and dirty.

Went for a cycle along the Fife costal path to take advantage of the very nice weather.

Scotland has some gorgeous skies.

A rare moment of blue sky and sun over Edinburgh.
St Andrew's House in Edinburgh sits in the sunlight with a cloudy blue sky above. The picture is taken from across the railway, and the street at the bottom of the picture is in shadow.

On the one hand, the world is burning, but on the other, we get views like this while it does.

OK, I didn't get kidnapped by the fae at the last mist gate, here's hoping for more luck with this one.

As a foodie, there are some dishes that you just always love, and some venues that you will always defend. This is neither of them. This came out of left field and blew me away. The last dish I had from this restaurant was pedestrian, but this version steak was exquisite.
A plate on a table with a yellow cloth on it. On the plate are two venison fillet steaks with mixed vegetables, chanterelle mushrooms and roast potatoes.

A little treat for myself as a reward for getting through a hell of a week: grass fed rump steak with mushrooms and onions, mixed green salad and potato salad.

Bit of experimental cookery here: tagliatelle with creamy mushroom and sausage sauce. The experimental part is that I added caraway seed and Chinese 5 spice to the sausages as they were cooking. It adds a very pleasant warm earthiness to the flavour.

Tried my hand at a roast butternut squash dhal. Pretty happy with how it turned out, though I should have made chapatti to go with it.

An attempt to make zwiebelrostbraten with skillet roast potatoes and green beans. It's turned out quite well, though I can't match the quality of the real thing.

Garlic and basil foccacia. The dough probably should have had a little longer to prove, but I needed to get it done in time to cool down before transport.

In a fit of "I need to make something or I will knife a sumbitch" I made mixed-nut brownies. They turned out a little cake-y, but taste pretty good.

If there's one thing I have definately inherited from my parents, it's the joy of a simple, real Christmas tree.
