Proper office attire must be worn at work at all times, including undergarments.
Here I am submitting to my random slip and girdle check. ;-)
The Westin Bellevue Hotel Dresden (since has become Bilderberg Bellevue Hotel Dresden) is the best and most elegant hotel that I've ever stayed. And it wasn't expensive when I booked it. My room cost only EUR 84 per night including all fees and taxes.
Very spacious room by European standard, large bed, large bathroom, a proper desk and plenty of space for luggage and souvenir storage :D
Proper sunny summer's weather this weekend, and where better to enjoy it than Newquay in Cornwall?
Special thanks to The Who for the title of this picture, to Picnik for the amazing astral flare, and to Newquay, well, just for being Newquay.
I'm really warming to this look, and the jacket, which initially reminded me of something a Doctor would wear, now looks more and more 'right'
This juvenile Ring-billed Gull demonstrates the proper technique for protecting a freshly captured Shrimp Eel: head out to sea and eat on the fly. Jamaica Beach, Galveston Island, Texas.

How many pubs will there be in twenty years time, I wonder ... Hundreds seem to be closing down each month ... People no longer socialise in pubs but chat without meeting on social media ...
Another beauty from Ovens Street Bakery. So lucky to have them a couple of blocks away for a light rye or a miche like this.
After over 1500 clicks of the shutter, I realise I've been fighting with the auto dynamic range setting on the camera. Now I've found it, it's definitely turned off.

The first thing I do after the first day on holiday is rush to the bathroom, have a shower and then look for white bits. It seems that the dim lighting of holiday apartments, particularly in the bathroom is the only place where I look tanned. As soon as i stand next to anyone else, even a newborn baby I pale into a jane austen hue. I know, I know it's bad for you to get too much sun, and i shall get wrinkly more rapidly and probably skin cancer but I want brown boobies, just for a week or so, before I shed an entire layer of skin.
I feel dreadfully guilty, having just come back from one holiday I am off on another - and I have certainly not earnt it by hard grafting. So I head off sheepishly tomorrow for a few more days of loafing...and then I shall return triumphant, but more likely grouchy with hundreds of pics to upload, comments to make to you all and, oh yes, I knew there was something, a proper job to secure!!
Amsterdam is the capital and most populous city of the Netherlands with a population of 872,680[12] within the city proper, 1,380,872 in the urban area and 2,410,960 in the metropolitan area. Found within the province of North Holland, Amsterdam is colloquially referred to as the "Venice of the North", attributed by the large number of canals which form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Amsterdam's name derives from Amstelredamme, indicative of the city's origin around a dam in the river Amstel. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world in the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century and became the leading centre for finance and trade. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city expanded, and many new neighbourhoods and suburbs were planned and built. The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Sloten, annexed in 1921 by the municipality of Amsterdam, is the oldest part of the city, dating to the 9th century.
As the commercial capital of the Netherlands and one of the top financial centres in Europe, Amsterdam is considered an alpha-world city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) study group. The city is also the cultural capital of the Netherlands. Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, including Philips, AkzoNobel, TomTom and ING. Also, many of the world's largest companies are based in Amsterdam or have established their European headquarters in the city, such as leading technology companies Uber, Netflix and Tesla. In 2012, Amsterdam was ranked the second best city to live in by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and 12th globally on quality of living for environment and infrastructure by Mercer. The city was ranked 4th place globally as top tech hub in the Savills Tech Cities 2019 report (2nd in Europe), and 3rd in innovation by Australian innovation agency 2thinknow in their Innovation Cities Index 2009. The Port of Amsterdam is the fifth largest in Europe. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is the busiest airport in the Netherlands, and the third busiest in Europe. Famous Amsterdam residents include the diarist Anne Frank, artists Rembrandt and Van Gogh, and philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in the world. Amsterdam's main attractions include its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam, the Concertgebouw, the Anne Frank House, the Scheepvaartmuseum, the Amsterdam Museum, the Heineken Experience, the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, Natura Artis Magistra and Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam. They draw more than 5 million international visitors annually. The city is also well known for its nightlife and festival activity; several of its nightclubs (Melkweg, Paradiso) are among the world's most famous. It is also one of the world's most multicultural cities, with at least 177 nationalities represented

I have to make sure my toes are wrapped and protected when doing long distance hikes, otherwise I pay the price for days. It protects from blisters, rubbing, and eliminates bloody socks (and no one wants to see that!)

Being outside, if it did rain, surely this jaunty throng of wellies would just keep the water in, rather than out?
