Not the prettiest of pictures, but significant. This is where D-Day landing craft LCT7074 will be displayed at the D-Day Story museum in Portsmouth. Really looking forward to having another awesome and thought-provoking part of maritime history down here.

I think I may have just found my holiday watch!

I can also recommend Silent Pool as a really nice classic gin. My favourite everyday gin is Opihr, nothing else quite like it. For something different I like Gin Mare - rosemary notes make it great with BBQ lamb chops! - and Conker from Dorset, notes of gorse flower. N.B. look out for yourself, a co...

Exactly that, quite nice but just a bit dull. The blue three-hander in 36mm (women's...) is the pick of the bunch. I'd rather have the money and dream about an Overseas though.

No, not of the bikini variety. Today I am wearing my Metris on the 'wrong' wrist to try to mitigate the appearance of the seemingly inevitable watch tan line.

A tachyon enters a bar

Well I didn't see that coming.

One for the brand ponies I think.

Quartz has its place, but that place is utility. Art and therefore emotive, it is not.
