This week, the Smartphone Challenge is “Some habits are good, and some are bad. Your inspiration this week is either”.
To the best of my knowledge, I am entirely devoid of good habits, so that narrows it down a bit.
However, I have it on the very highest authority that, among a plethora of bad habits, my alleged inability to close cupboard doors properly ranks very highly in terms of irritation-generating capacity.
Dunno what all the fuss is about….

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week demands images of doorknobs.
Her wish is my command, so here – viewed from above – is the knob on one of the drawers in our kitchen. They look nice, but do try to avoid walking into them.

Week 23 of the Smartphone Challeneg is, frankly, a bit of an odd one. We are invited to use strong leading lines in food photography.
Okay….
Now, as I do not use Instagram (where I believe it’s compulsory), I’m not in the habit of posting photographs of every scrap of food I consume, I just had to come up with something.
So here’s a picture of a swede (‘rutabaga‘ en français) on our kitchen table.

This surprisingly modest old kitchen is on display at a Chateau in the Dordogne departement of France.

Cee’s theme for her Fun ‘Foto’ Challenge this week is ‘blue and yellow’ – always a harmonious combination.
As it happens, the colour scheme of our kitchen is blue and yellow, and the endlessly talented Madame has made table mats, napkins, covers for appliances and many other things to match the theme. Including this wall hanging:

This week, Cee’s theme has come round again to anything that might be found in a kitchen. Strictly speaking, I suppose, this table setting in the restored refectory of the Abbaye de La Réau isn’t exactly kitchenware. There again, where else would the dishwasher be?

Frank has chosen ‘Kitchen’ as the theme for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge, so here is an image from the restored kitchens of the medieval Abbaye de La Réau.
Clearly, these are not the original pots and pans and jars – unless Bonne Maman has been making jam for a lot longer than anyone has ever suspected.

This set of bellows hangs next to the wood-burning stove in our kitchen. The shape contrasts well with the brickwork.
