Someone just posted the sign below above our water cooler in work. I despair for the state of the world.

So LAMM is with us once again and this year we are off to the far north of Scotland. Inchnadamph in Assynt to be particular. Should be lots of fun. Our team number is 515 if you want to keep an eye on our progress over the weekend.

Here are some photos from some recent outings with the camera.

A quick roundup of three very nice restaurants that I have dined in recently.

• Kinara

  Pakistani and Indian cuisine that tastes great and is served in some impressive bowls. They even passed my special test of bringing an extra spoon for the LadyFriend when only I have ordered dessert. They have never served me a bad meal in many several visits. Also earning bonus points for finding room for a last minute reservation when the need arose.

• Picasso

  Very nice Italian in Clontarf. A little pricey but really great food. Some of the seafood specials are amazing. Despite service which was a touch below par for the price range they still get a recomendation. I am reliably informed that they also posses a selection of authentic Italian liquors and beers.

• Bella Cuba

  Just so as to not be all Clontarf based this fine eatery in Ballsbridge is also well worth a visit. Cuban quisine not being that common in this part of the world the whole menu is just that bit different. I will be returning soon.
