Is this heatwave becoming annoying? Yes! Is it giving us amazing sunsets? Also Yes! #Heatwave #cloudphotography

Stop texting first and see how many dead plants you've been watering.

This evening's cloud formation, brought to you by Mother Nature. #cloudphotography #Sunset

Wispy cirrus clouds tinged peach and pink at sunset, stretching across a pale blue to orange sky above rooftops and trees.

Stayed on at work a bit longer today. Home now and cooling off with another Dr Pepper Float (The geometric print is a little worn on the old glass but its a great shape for this beverage)

A tall clear glass with a worn grey geometric print, filled with a Dr Pepper float and has a frothy top. A glass straw with decorative blue flower sticks out of the glass. The drink sits on a kitchen surface with cozy indoor lighting.

Time to let the completed piece rest for about 15 min so the bread can soak up those flavours. 🍴🍜🌰🥒🍅🍞🇮🇹😋

I have got some tiger bread that needs to used up, so I'm reawakening my Italian blood by rustling up some Panzanella...

Thinly sliced red onion on a grey chopping board.

Cubes of tiger bread in a drawer of an air fryer.

Quartered and thinly slided cucumber in a small glass bowl.

Halved cherry tomatoes on a grey choping board next to a green knife, the colour on the blade is worn down from being well used.

Bangers and mash hack unlocked 🔓 Stop boiling. Start baking. Scooped out baked potatoes + lashings of butter = the fluffiest mash you’ve ever had. Then top with sausages, sautéd onions and onion gravy. Would you try this mash hack? 🍜 🍽 🍴

A white bowl with green leaf pattern containing creamy mashed potato topped with 4 chicken sausages, onion gravy, and caramelized onions. Fork and knife on a wooden table next to a glass of water.

Is it just me, or has Mother Nature rearranged the skies to try to recreate the opening of the Simpsons?

For all of you who share my theory that washing machine minutes are NOT the same as real minutes... This has been my own washing machine for the last 5 minutes- according to the time on my phone.

I really should be doing housework. Then I remembered this poem, and realised that the vacuuming can wait. The weather’s way too good.

Dust if you must by Rose Milligan

Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?

Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

Dust if you must, but the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.

Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go (and go you must)
You, yourself, will make more dust.

That felt like a long shift. Glad to be home before mid day when it gets too hot. Cooling off in this heatwave with a Pepsi Float. 🍜🍽🥤🥵🌡☀️

A photo taken from a slight angle on a light gray speckled countertop. In the foreground is a short, wide blue glass with a faceted, diamond-cut exterior. The glass is filled with a dark brown fizzy drink and topped with a thick, creamy layer of white foam that’s slightly overflowing the rim. A clear glass straw with a decorative bow shape near the top is placed in the drink.

To the right of the glass sits an open can of Pepsi Zero Sugar Strawberries ’n’ Cream flavour. The can is pink and red with white text, and you can see condensation on the side. The background is a plain light gray wall that matches the countertop. The overall lighting is bright and natural, making the foam and condensation stand out clearly.

Good Morning, lovely people in my corner of Bluesky. I'm not working today, so feel I have time for a normal sit down breakfast instead of grabbing a banana or Flapjack. Making egg on toast. How do you like YOUR eggs? #Breakfast #StartTheDay #Eggs #Toast
