Edward Poynter (1836-1919) was the designer of one of a suite of 3 refreshment rooms for the museum - this one originally designed (1876-81) as the Grill Room. Poynter was one of the most significant figures in C19 British art. He was the first Slade Professor of Fine Art at University College, London, 1871-75; Principal of the National Art Training School at South Kensington, 1875-81; Director of the National Gallery, 1894-1904; he became a Royal Academician in 1876 and in 1886 was made its President on the death of Millais; he was knighted in the same year and made a baronet in 1902.

... for both bus and staff. The DMS in the previous picture paused for a while at a service area on our return. The previous owner had seen fit to paint out his former party bus advertising giving it a quite 'modern' livery appearance! Opportunity was taken to park it alongside something appropriate for a record shot. Inspite of it's first impression, and the body attempting to part company with the chassis, the journey back was completed without problem.
After long day of work...its time to relax, unwind a little bit. cheers!

Similar to the USA, iced tea is served in many bars and restaurants, grocery stores and fast food outlets as an alternative to carbonated soft drinks. In most areas, only the Nestea variety is available. It is also available in powdered form as well as in cans and bottles. Iced tea in the Philippines is almost always sweet, with a slight lemon flavor.
A spectator at Shelley Cricket Club left these pints unguarded on a bench for a couple of minutes. Given the temperature, he was a lucky a thirsty fielder didn't gulp them down in his absence. Captured at Westerley Lane during a 132-run win for Shelley over Huddersfield League Premiership rivals Thongsbridge.
Sikandar Raza, a Pakistan-born Zimbabwe Test cap, hit a confident 74 then took 5-40 with his off-breaks for Shelley. The hosts made a decent score on a tricky wicket offering unpredictable bounce. Thongsbridge, replying, slumped from 24-1 to 50-7. Without a vigorous wag from the tail, the visitors' defeat would have been even heavier. Prior to this two-match May Bank Holiday weekend, Shelley hadn't won a game, and propped up the Premiership table. This Bank Holiday Monday victory followed up a 46-run home win over Scholes on the Saturday. The Westerley Lane double enabled Shelley to climb out of the relegation zone.
Match statistics:
Admission: £1. Programme: none. Attendance: 110. Thongsbridge won the toss and elected to field. Shelley 237-8 off 50 overs (Sikandar Raza 74, Joe Sykes 51, Louis Sykes 31, Ben Balmforth 3-13, Tom Raven-Hill 3-80) 6pts beat by 132 runs Thongsbridge 105 off 36 overs (Tom Webster 23, Sikandar Raza 5-40, Bandula Don 2-8, Mo Bhoola 2-20) 0pts. Umpires: Raymond Bissett and Ian Livesey.
My choice of ale for a Bank Holiday afternoon at the Hest Bank Inn was Lancaster Blonde, described by the brewery "a uniquely vivid golden bitter. Blonde has been designed to offer a quality cask conditioned ale to drinkers seeking a pale beer with real taste and aromatic impact. This most stylish and contemporary beer is crafted from the finest English malted barley and carefully combined with Germanic style Munich Malt. The slightly citrus and delicate earthy aromas are created by a combination of First Gold and imported Saaz hops. The initial bitterness is followed by a delightful mouth feel culminating with a long dry finish". Being such a lovely afternoon this had to be taken outside but on this occasion the beer garden had proved so popular that no tables were free a convenient wall had to be used as a makeshift table and seat upon which my pint awaits to be savoured.
Lancaster Blonde won Silver Award in the World Beer Awards USA 2010
With my friend Paul, I spend five days in Osaka, Japan. The trip provided much refreshment, and excitement, not to mention many challenges. It was my first visit to the country, and, I feel, it certainly won't be my last, as there are still many places left to see, and so many new things to learn.
We had several destinations highlighted on our itinerary, the foremost of which was Universal Studios. We spend an entire day there, going on rides and more often than not, queuing for them. The excruciating wait times were worth it, however, for such exhilarating fun, especially on the Hollywood Roller Coaster, my personal favorite. The next morning we followed up that successful endeavor with a trip to the Himeji Castle, a place which came highly recommended by my colleague, whose succinct description of the heritage site was, "awesome." Indeed, as a history buff, I enjoyed walking the storied grounds and climbing through the maze-like interior of the keep which was designed not so much to comfortably house the royal family as to confound the invading enemy. The castle is a must-visit. Other attractions of note include the Osaka Aquarium, and the Tennoji Zoo; both teemed with animals of every shape and size. We also at length ventured into several shopping districts inside of which were myriad stores, selling all sorts of fashion and gadgetry, countless restaurants and several gambling parlors - the Japanese, it seems, love their slot machines as much as the Hong Kong Chinese love their horse racing. Lest I forget, we frequented several video arcades to play the latest and greatest games; Paul played well, while I more often than not got 0wn3d. There is a lot to do in Japan.
Japanese culture, of which I've heard so much, really is distinct and separate from other Asian cultures. Their patterns of action and their peculiar artifacts certainly aren't the same as those which feature prominently in Hong Kong. For one thing, the MTR culture was more civilized and less stressful: people queued up for trains and let passengers alight first before permitting themselves to board; cellphones never rang and cabin cars were as quiet as bedrooms at midnight; and to imagine all of these people enforce their norms without public service announcements, without any coddling, conspicuous signs - that's amazing. What proved difficult was trying to find a garbage can. It was easier to find a vending machine, from which one could purchase a variety of drinks or cigarettes, than a bin in which to dispose of these delectable, perishable goods.
As for the general citizenry, they were most accommodating and hospitable, with several individuals going out of their way to help Paul and I find our way around the dense sprawl of the city. Language wasn't a concern despite our limited Japanese; amazingly enough, our comfort was their concern! I won't forget their selfless service, as one day, I hope, I'll be able to return the favor. That the girls were quite attractive and that I demonstrated a propensity to ask attractive girls for directions go without saying; however, I understand now that their sexiness and sophistication stem not from comely faces but coherent attire. Rather than adorn themselves like a typical Mong Kok girl in a ridiculous neon rainbow palette, with jeans or unseemly spandex underneath dresses, skirts or other tops better left to stand alone, Japanese girls opt for more somber, sensible colors - black and cream-colored - and what's more, they aren't afraid to whip out the tasteful pantyhose or to show some skin, even. We had plenty of time to ogle the ladies, and to their credit, freezing temperatures weren't enough to dissuade many of them from forsaking, icing their shorts, as we saw countless pairs being worn on the street. That's what I call fashion professionalism!
Overall, Japan is a marvelous little land full of the eccentric, as well as the endearing. It was a fascinating place to explore, and I'm thankful that it was done in the company of my friend , with whom candor was not at a premium. We both learned a lot and look forward to the next trip!

Its going to be a hot weekend. For some refreshment add a few slices of lemon, orange and a few stalks of mint to some water and cool it in the fridge. Enjoy! :D

Rainy weather and my father's need to help him through knee surgery have kept my camera quiet this week. So, let's make today Pig Day! This shot is from the agricultural fair I attended a few weeks ago.
By the way, hogs are pigs who weigh more than 120 pounds (54 kg). I'm just saying "pig" for convenience.
