Which side?

 Which side... do you "dress"?

Did you know about this meaning of "dressing". I did, it's from bespoke suit-and trouser making.

This is from Acquired Tastes by Peter Mayle... not a very well written book, in industrial journalese... but does have some ideas with regard to tastes to acquire maybe.


As mentioned earlier on blog.


Nobody cares and nobody looks of course but the ladies, maybe, but still....

... left or right, state in comments.

Heroes

Heroes. 

Heroes of the Russian Federation... the highest degree and the best kind of hero. Period.

This is from my today's stroll around the Arbat here in Moscow, more of which later, I think.

Walking With Beer April 2023 Edition

 Here is beer walk April 2023, first this year.

This is from two weeks ago at the time of this writing.

Zagovor All Summer In A Day Gose with Passion Fruit, to start things.


Finished.


As it's from two weeks ago, there are no fresh leaves, which are out in force now.

Rewort Mahatma G. Hazy IPA, for seconds.











Dinner is cheburek x 3 at a place that has been around since the 1950s.
