I've just spent a few minutes resizing and rotating pictures so I can finally upload them. inannajones took most of these; I'm not good at using cameras. And thanks to olethros for setting up the server.

So:

The corner of the kitchen, with cooker and spice rack.
Me glazing a pie this morning

The back garden, with her Ladyship.
Rain on leaves in the back garden
Rain on roses, also in the back garden

Myself and grahamb at Infest

Can't access those links, let alone the site :(

DNS may have taken a while - try it now.

Yeppers, be working now :)
You look like you could be one half of Penn and Teller :)

[gothwalk.livejournal.com]

People keep on saying that. :)

[maida-mac.livejournal.com]

Nice photos. :)

Is the plant Alchemilla Mollis..Lady's Mantle?
If so, you're lucky I can never get them to stay alive and I love the lore of it :-)
The pie looks good...mushroomy?

[gothwalk.livejournal.com]

I have NO idea what it is; the landlady planted it. :)

The pie was bacon-and-egg-and-tomato. It turned out well. :)

Wow. Your kitchen is . . . green.

[bardiphouka.livejournal.com]

and....err...kitcheny? looks at all the spices with envy

[gothwalk.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's not even half of them. There's a drawer with about twice as many again, and a few miscellaneous bits and pieces in other places.

someday..of course having a real kitchen would help.

[gothwalk.livejournal.com]

Having a real kitchen is a good thing, although I've coped with one wall of a sitting/dining/kitchen room, and a tiny kitchen in which I could reach every cupboard without taking a step. What's your current situation?

[bardiphouka.livejournal.com]

A galley kitchen that almost fits both of us at the same time so long as we are not moving. Hopefully I can work some new space saving around it starting next month when my income doubles (alimony ends the 15th of this month..huzzah)

It is that. I'm used to it now, but yeah, it's very very green. Most of the rooms in this house are solid firm colours like that - my study has red walls, and our bedroom is mid-blue.

[malinaldarose.livejournal.com]

Red walls? Well, I suppose. Mine are white, to magnify light and because I always wanted a blue and white room (the rug is blue and the curtains are blue and white check).

When I was a teenager, Mom painted the kitchen. She thought it was going to be a light peach, but it turned out really, really orange. It looked like a pumpkin threw up on the kitchen walls. It was really ghastly.

The kitchen in the house I was brought up in (0-8) had yellow walls. They were pretty awful, but someone in the family must have liked them, because I remember repainting in the same shade when I was 6.

My father is a fan of orange walls too - usually not screaming orange, but he's sometimes picked colours I wouldn't. He's red-green colour-blind, though, which may have something to do with it.

I like the red... I'll see if I can get a picture of it, although the room is so damn small it's hard to back up enough to get some space for the camera.

[malinaldarose.livejournal.com]

I suppose it depends on whether it's a bright, tomato red or a duller, browner sort of red. I've seen Victorian walls done in a duller red with rich wood and goldeny sorts of accents in the curtains and pillows that looked really nice, but still. Red. That just sort of boggles me.

'course i can't actually get the site to load, myself :/
