Standard stirfry, in order and in peanut oil: broccoli stems, celery, diced garlic & ginger, green pepper, tomato, broccoli flowerets, sliced mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, and fried and sliced veggie 'bacon'.
EXCEPT: after adding the diced tomato, I splashed in 1/3 cup of vodka!
Ever since I had 'Penne ala Vodka' at a great little Italian restaurant a while ago, I've been trying to find ways to add vodka to other foods, and I was curious to see what it would do in Aisan cuisine. I think it made a perceptible difference in the richness of the taste! In any event, my wife thought it was delicious! :-)
Finished off with a sauce made of the juice of a lemon, a glug of Maggi, Chinese Premium Soy Sauce, Chinese cooking wine, a little splash of fish sauce, and a little teaspoon of (aargh!) MSG, with a forkfull of cornstarch stired in at the end.
Served over a bed of Basmati rice and topped with sliced green onion.
The building on the other side of the road is where my doctor (General Practitioner) works. It is called a 'surgery', although no surgery such as might involve scalpels and anaesthesia takes place here. The building was originally a railway station, and was only converted to its current purpose about 6 years ago. It is within public transport and (if I'm feeling fit) walking distance of my flat, so when it opened, I signed on. When I visited the first time, my GP met me at the ground floor reception and followed me up the stairs (lots of them) to her consulting room. She explained that they were doing that with all new patients as it is possible to quickly glean a lot of physical information. There is a tiny lift (elevator) and those who are very unwell/unfit are seen in rooms on the ground floor.
Most of the pedestrians were waiting for the "green man" , although a few were taking their chances through the traffic. In some other countries (eg Germany, Singapore) this practice is frowned upon, or even fined. When I have grandchildren or visitors from other countries (eg USA) I always tell them to wait. An avoidable danger.
This and the previous photo are almost identical, but there is one subtle difference... can you spot what it is? (There's a clue in the title!)
past studios, 2007 to be precise. Now the studio is more a desktop and a headspace. I see no difference. I still make large.
The difference between life and death can be a split second. This scene in the mist at Chatsworth fully illustrates the concept and the power of nature to destroy and the capacity & strength of the tree to withstand.

The difference between staring at the ocean from behind a window frame
and looking into his eyes of deep from the foamy shoreline, feet naked;
the difference between the sky seen in an astronomy software display
and the summer dome where thousands of millions of glimmering stars shine;
the difference between the glimpse of an image of a mountain snowy trail
and the whiplashing wind when it pairs like a bourdon the shoes rhythm
while you get step after step closer to the crown of fiery rocky peaks.
The difference between a cd and a concert,
between drop and hammering rain,
between a fob and a chain.
The difference between the memory of a voice
and that voice itself,
between a verse found once on a screen
and an old dusty book on an old dusty shelf.
The difference between morning and night,
wheel and plough,
aliveness and life,
simple air and heady oxygen,
a thunderclap and the Jupiter's big red storm.
Or a love and our Love.

Imagine if you were unable to touch or kiss your newborn baby. This is an ordeal thousands of families, whose child arrives too soon, too small or too sick, are forced to go through each year. But you can help. By baking and selling cupcakes, you’ll be raising funds to help support families during what can be a very lonely and frightening time, and to provide a brighter future for their babies.
Some facts and figures:
• There is a shortage of 1,150 nurses to care for the 70,000 babies in need of specialist hospital care in England. Less than a third of units have enough nurses to meet minimum standards.
• Neonatal units are working way above recommended occupancy levels meaning there is no safety net for peaks in the number of babies being admitted to units.
• Families of babies admitted to specialist hospital care face a crippling financial strain on top of the normal costs of having a new baby.
• Over half of parents face the prospect of not being able to stay near their baby in hospital due to a shortage of overnight rooms for families.
Cake A Difference is the annual fundraising initiative from Bliss, the special care baby charity. Bliss offers guidance and information at a critical time in families' lives, funds ground-breaking research and campaigns for babies to receive the best possible level of care regardless of when and where they are born. Cake A Difference 2011 takes place from 14-20 February 2011. For more ideas on how you can support Bliss contact katiaw@bliss.org.uk
Go ahead, bake my day!

THORNWICK Bay...(pronounced Thornick... welcome to Yorkshire, lol)
Thornwick Bay derives it's name from "Thor" the God of Thunder because of the roar of the breaking waves on the rocks during a North Easterly gale which pounds the magnificent cliffs.
In the winter when the winds are strong and the weather is bad, when the waves hit the rocks, foam and spray blows up the cliff and over the cafe, but thankfully most people come to visit in the Spring, Summer and Autumn months when the weather is much calmer, and people can sit on the cliff top and admire the fantastic scenery and watch the sun reflect off the brilliant white chalk cliffs which have been cleaned by the winter storms over thousands of years.
The stretch of water North of the Lighthouse was named 'the graveyard' by the skippers and crew of sailing vessels which once they had lost the safety of Bridlington Bay, and without the aids of navigation and weather forecasting which we now take for granted, were at the mercy of the angry weather, Marine charts show hundreds of wrecks all within a few miles radius of Thornwick bay.
A great many people visit Thornwick Bay each year to enjoy wonderful cliff top walks observing the abundance of seabirds including Puffins, Guillemots and Kittiwakes etc.
Always you have the 'risk-takers' who will venture and walk the very narrow and crumbly ridge to get to the furthest point.
Do you spot this one?
Have a lovely day and thank you, as always, M, (*_*)

It's hard to tell the difference between the Yellow-necked mouse and the Wood mouse. I know I sure can't and with a picture like this I'm not even sure the areas where they differ are seen. We happened upon this mouse while taking a walk next to the oak grove.
*Obrigado pela ideia, Joaquim!

She stepped into the park
I gave up looking for angels
Each moment loving the last one
The fear is walking us by
I understand all her demons
Relying on the day she will see
Shine on
Your freedom,I cannot bear
I'll try to be immune to the sadness
Now I pretend we are lovers
I keep wondering why
Shine on
You defy, I remain
Prisoner of your decisions
I dream, you laugh
I can remember how it started
One day, you'll see
Detaills will make all the difference
I love you, goodbye
Now you know i'm gone
Shine on
Now some landscaping will finalize the depth needed to make any model railroad. I tried taking my own pictures for the look i wanted and was going to make my own backdrop. I found this one and the dimensions were perfect and the farm look i desired
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Pink Foot vs Greylag. Thought there was a vagrant Pink Foot in with the Greylags at College Lake and eventually he came close enough to be sure. 1st time I've seen one this far inland.

This is my third print using the Vandyke Brown process. The first was a disaster, but the second came out ok (flic.kr/p/Pg4aZh). However, I wasn't happy with the colour or contrast. This print was made on Bergger Cot320 paper which is one of the classic papers for alternative process printing. And what a difference it made. This image has a much better tonal range and significantly better detail. The exposure was made @ 14:00 hours for 7 minutes on an intermittently cloudy day, facing south, in the Nagoya area.
A scan from the original 4x5 black and white negative can be seen @ flic.kr/p/tqSzXF
