Hot pink, nesting and Tupperware.

-
1. Walking up Rodean Road stepping on fallen hot pink rhodendron flowers.

2. Sparrows are nesting in the roof of the office. I like it when a shadow sparrow suddenly appears on the wall as the real sparrow flies up the window and into the eaves.

3. He-who-shall-not-be-named has brought a new box of coffee and we pass it around for a sniff.

    Ah - the sniff of just opened (or ground) coffee. I put a dash of cinammon powder in with the grounds when making a pot - gives a nice background flavor.

    4. The scent of hidden flowers as you walk by.

  3. Hello from JuliaThursday, April 19, 2007

    That image you painted has got me closing my eyes, inhaling deeply and remembering coffees of the past. I used to live with a coffee connoisseur and can only impart this to others: never, ever grind the beans until you are ready to brew. Think of the farmers! :)

    Also, I see you found Indexed as well (Verbs of Being). Amazing stuff.

Bee, green beans and movie night.

1. An enormous fat bumble bee at work. She is so bulky that she can knock dead blossoms out of the way as she gets right in to the new jasmine flowers. 2. Green beans squeaking in my teeth. 3. We watch The Goonies . It's fun to see it through adult eyes; and it's fun to see my daughter suddenly understanding gags and references that she's seen in other media.

Midsummer, feeding and cakes.

1. The shortest night and the longest day. I was up at Wellington Rocks with Anna, Paul and Jason. We couldn't see the sun through the mizzling clouds, but we had got up at 4am and were there observing the moment it came up, and that's what counts. 2. Food at The Junction Inn , Groombridge. All four lunchclub members were impressed by the quality -- although the portions were rather small. I had smoked eel with beetroot cream (Oli says that sounds like witch food, but it was delicious, and didn't taste of beetroot at all); Ed and Doug had wild mushroom risotto; and Johnny P got his face round a huge homemade burger. It had chips with it that were very good too -- I know this because I stole some. 3. Taking The Mother's homemade cakes to work. There were three -- one chocolate, one coffee and walnut and one lemon with homemade jam in the middle. There was a lot of stickiness in the office for most of the afternoon.

As needed, forgotten cake and syrup.

1. I promised myself I wouldn't moan and grumble about it -- but I do. And as if by magic, a very kind friend produces the required blazer (and also the next size up). 2. I'd forgotten that I'd added a tiramisu cake to the shopping order. 3. The elderberry syrup is now so thick that it coats the spoon.
