Pic of the Day: Make Mine a Double

Roughly two hours sleep last night after a wonderful evening with my sister at Downtown Disney.

This morning's shot courtesy USAirways First Class upgrade several months back.

Make mine a double....

Pic of the Day: The Blackfriar

Though nowhere near the oldest or most storied pub in London, the Blackfriar is certainly one of the most beautiful. Opened in 1905, and saved from demolition by Sir John Betjeman, a noted poet and broadcaster with an affinity for protecting architectural wonders. 

From the pub's website: "Our historic Art Nouveau Grade II masterpiece of a pub was built in 1905 on the site of a Dominican friary. The building was designed by architect H. Fuller-Clark and artist Henry Poole, both committed to the free-thinking of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Jolly friars appear everywhere in the pub in sculptures, mosaics and reliefs. We are lucky to still be here as our wonderful pub was saved from demolition by a campaign led by Sir John Betjeman."

It's a charming pub with loads of atmosphere and ambience, certainly worthy of a stop-in and a pint...or two.

Pic of the Day: Mediterranean Diet

My doctor recently put me on the Mediterranean Diet.

He quickly quelled my excitement at thoughts of pizza and lasagna, telling me it was more about freshness and vegetables. Seafood would replace red meat.

Yeah. I can live with that.

(Seafood and rice at the View Point Restaurant. Srd Hill, Dubrovnik.)

Pic of the Day: Greetings Mr Bond

I am a car fan, as you've probably picked up. Probably more Top Gear than Auto Week, but to each their own.

So when I see a gorgeous set of wheels, it makes me pay attention.

Aston Martin DB5 caught on the streets of London. Not Bond Street, unfortunately. THAT would have been perfect.
