It's Still Life

In no particular order:

1. A whetstone and sharpening skills¹.
2. Butternut squash soup with coconut milk and Benedictine.

3. October and jumper²/sweater weather.
4 Cold wet sand underfoot at Birling Gap.

5. Camber Sands Beach and free public toilets³.
6. Sunflowers on a cloudy day.

7. A video chat with a precious friend.
8. Headaches that go away.
9. Roses setting buds again.

10. The comforting company of a crow.

¹ I sharpen all of my knives weekly the old fashioned way. ² British English = jumper = sweater = US English. ³ I admit it: toilets are few and far between in the UK, and certainly one at the beach is a gift even though there’s no loo roll.
