I was today years old when I learned that hair ice only forms in the presence of a specific fungus; and that even though that had been the theory for about a hundred years, scientists didn't even identify which one until 2015. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_ice

It's been a long time since I've crocheted (and even longer since I've made something other than a doily), so maybe I didn't stop to consider the colour lengths before buying variegated yarn and I wasn't expecting so much white in this one. But it'll probably end up looking more flecked from a distance once this is a large scarf wrapped around my neck and shoulders, like I'm only focusing on it because it's such a small sample. #crochet #LizardShawl
This cactus went wild with flowers early December last year and I didn't think it would have any at all in 2020, but it's managed to bring one out and this is the first time I've had a Christmas cactus bloom at Christmas. And maybe there will be two more for 2021? It feels hopeful to have something to watch grow in winter. #florespondence
Food, meat
Sometimes the best tasting food is the weirdest looking: The first time I ordered from this sushi place I found the colour of the rice off-putting (the photo does not accurately capture the pinkness), but it's actually the best delivery sushi place in my area and if it hasn't grown on me I can mostly ignore it.
There are two types of people, those who see the abandoned strawberry and say "It me!" and those who dream of living in it and giving visitors gently hexed baked goods.
