I need a nap, but I think I've found what I need to change. Take out the whole sign-up box, replace with a description of what's actually happening.

Nightcap? No thanks, I don't wear one! For me, it's trying to fit one round my CPAP gear. Will this work? We'll see. Goodnight!

I have read of what might reasonably be found in goulash, and made my choices. Stock comes from lamb shank, which also provides well-cooked meat, to supplement the browned lamb steak. Seasoning is paprika, onion powder (out of onions,) caraway, garlic, S&P. Bayleaves, a single potato as thickener (this will be a rice dish,) and tomato go in at the start. Cook 45 mins, add red cabbage, mild Fushimi chilli, Basmati rice, cook until done.

Image 1 - stamppot on meat, image 2 - cheese on stamppot. Now in oven to brown.

Stamppot, potato, carrot, lamb juices

Dinner is a sort of shepherd's pie analogue, lamb and tomato on the bottom, seasoned with black pepper, allspice, ginger, a potato/carrot stamppot on top of that, and topped with Spanish goat cheese.

Breakfasted, and asleep, after a cruel night. This is the last chronological image of our oldest, Garth, aka Daddy Dog, aka the Fluffy Puppy, which he always was. He would have been fifteen on the 1st of July.

Weakening in his rear end for some time, but still enjoying life, over the last few weeks, I had to get him unstuck a few times, as he couldn't always get up on his own, and had become fairly incontinent, so was sleeping on special absorbent mats...

Chicken, bacon, bok choi, beetroot, tomato risotto.

Because winter comfort food.

Xcode still going...

Does 🍎 have the slowest CDN in the world? Then when THAT finishes, I get to upgrade Homebrew (again.)

Espresso #1 unsatisfying, due to sinus biofilm. I can potentially have another one, but only if I have a tea-free day (usually three pots.) Decisions.

After updating to Mojave, I get the fun of upgrading Homebrew...

Let's see if I can get an image from Photos into Mastonaut...

Double 🌈, take 1...

Me right now, who has thrice declared that he is going to focus on Magyar for a few days.

YES! My trilingual Magyar cookbook has rocked up from Switzerland! @pelagikat

Black eye and sore ribs, the culmination of probably three days unbeknowingly undermedicated, ending in collapse.

I'm OK, but the take-home from this is that I was assuming the tablets I was taking were working. Seems like an absorption issue. (Now on injections.) Will run it past the GP, because I've no obvious way of knowing this is happening.

@grumpysmiffy This one looks a bit more healthy.

@grumpysmiffy Large, but only just alive rain moth this morning.

Rain moth last night, harbinger of the rains. Although they were a bit late, arriving with, rather than ahead of.

I lost the 3m+ bay tree I raised over fourteen-ish years to the drought. Herself spotted some at the market, so I dropped everything and rushed out to bring home a new friend. Mature and healthy looking tree. I managed not to cry in front of the stall-holder.
