I can get three cups from one heaped spoon of the white tea, but only two from the black it seems.

Made hash browns from scratch this morning and they turned out well.

A plate of food containing two fried eggs, two hash browns, and slices of buttered bread is set on a green polka dot tablecloth.

Little kid made the card at school and one of the parents handed out Happy Eid bags to the kids as they left for home.

Two Eid cards, one blue with a yellow crescent and star, and the other in black and gold with elegant writing, are displayed on a polka-dotted tablecloth.

Big kid has been eating porridge every morning for a few weeks, which means ten minutes of stirring the pan for me every morning. I don’t mind, I like doing it. So much so that I invested in a Scottish spoon this week to make it easier on my hand, wrist and arm.

Today, in a scene reminiscent of Andy and his carer in Little Britain, he jumped out of bed at 6:30 am ran into the kitchen and proceeded to slice a bagel in half, toast it and butter it all by himself.

Not sure where this came from, but it’s where we’re at.

A cartoon depicts a young girl asking her father about people starving in Gaza, and he responds by telling her to be quiet, labeling the question as antisemitic.

Interesting the way this story is framed as if award-winning BBC journalist Jeremy Bowen has committed a heinous crime, associating what he has consistently reported with the ludicrously banned documentary Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone.

Big houseboat.

A canal path lined with potted plants runs alongside moored boats, with a sign for the Grand Union Canal in Southall visible on the right.

What a load of rubbish.

A polluted canal is filled with debris and surrounded by trees and buildings.

Yesterday’s cormorant.

A bird is swimming in a body of water surrounded by lush greenery on the edge.

“One night, I opened my front door to such a strong gas smell I actually thought someone was trying to gas me and I rang the police”.

More on wtf and why.

Woken at 1 am by the sicky sweet smell of petrol wafting in through our open bedroom window.
