Fantastic Skies

What the skies over my way looked like when I got home tonight. fantastic colours, even if it was more red than pink. The photos don't really do it justice. 

Countdown

I’d better start dropping some subtle hints if I want one of these for next month.

City Planning

I came across this photo of a decidedly wacky building that I took while on holiday in Toronto, Canada a few years ago. It’s the Ontario College of Art & Design. How on earth did that ever get past the city planners, and aren’t you glad that it did? How can you not be inspired studying somewhere like that?

Walk/Don't Walk

When we were in France for the Coupes Moto Legende in Dijon this summer the town was in the process of installing a tram network.

I was particularly taken with the newly  installed signs we came across.

The one on the left is the usual “Walk/Don’t Walk” sign.

The one on the right is, “DON’T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT WALKING HERE, THERE’S A TRAM COMING!”

Caol Ila

This evening’s tipple comes courtesy of Terry (muzrider) who kindly brought it back for me from a recent holiday on the island of Islay. It’s a 12 year old malt whisky and, like most Islay malts, it's quite pungent and strong on flavour.

And very fine it is, too.

Babelfish

This is a manual for my recently purchased Dnepr MT11 that I downloaded on the interweb. The only problem is that my Russian is non-existent, so I guess that I’ll just have to pony up and buy one in English using real money. Drat!
