Here's another view from my Yosemite Trail virtual adventure, from a wooden bridge over a rushing river. I'm more than three-quarters of the way round the route and there have wonderful things to see. The Mirror Lake looks so beautiful;

I made soup yesterday. We often have 'posh supermarket soup' for supper and it is usually fine, but whatever it was we had a couple of nights ago was so boring that I couldn't manage to eat mine. A sort of minestrone accordingly to the description,  but it was dull, dull, dull tomato-coloured gloop with uniformly shaped bits of veg lolling about in it.

Mine was just a selection of veg; kohl rabi, onions, carrots, celery, cabbage, simmered with a tin of tomatoes and some beef stock made with a cube. It wasn't ready in time for supper yesterday; I was distracted by a visitor halfway through the chopping. So we had my cheat's egg-fried  rice, and the soup today. We should really give up on shop soup... mine wasn't anything special but was infinitely better.
