Expo Dead Iron, Deat Western and NATO Junk Iron

 Saw it today:

British Uglo-Saxon

A version of US M113, an RPG operator's dream



Another British dog-named vehicle, a Husky TSV... she went to the dogs


Rusting Abrams


Sincerely Yours. Aeroflot.








Our city on a hill, a shining light cutting through the dark world dominated by Angloids and Natoids... but not for much longer.

Ocean Plastic Adidas Bottoms

 Pair of me red Adidas bottoms - Parley ocean plastic - the fabric not too bad.

Up to 95% made with plastic recovered from the ocean.






In Vino: Marques de Caceres

 That was some good wine well drunk.

The red crianza in particular is rated 92 by James Suckling.


Wonderful the first 2 minutes and couple of big swallows then subsides and drinks like regular table wine.


Very animalistic.

Dined at G.U.M. on Red Square, USSR Cuisine Revisited

 About two weeks ago went to dine basically in the Kremlin - at the State Department Store (GUM) on Red Square, the largest in the world, and the oldest too.




This the place I had lunch - Stolovaya No. 57 at GUM - since 1957 but in a 2007 reincarnation.

It specializes in USSR cuisine - the best cuisine there is - and I have tried everything, so here goes: a kharcho soup bowl, meatballs with mashed potatoes, dressed herring ("under a fur coat") salad, a fast cabbage roll, meat pie, a citrus salad (dessert) and two glasses of compote.


Very filling, didn't have dinner .

My Aurus ...

Winter at Moscow Zoo

About a month + back, in February 2024, on a nice sunny and suitably cold winter day with lots of snow, was passing through the Moscow Zoo, and here are some quick photos.

Feeding time, I am a walrus.



More feeding time, careful

Didn't pass by on a chance to eat out at the zoo, Zoo Canteen, a basic canteen dinner.

Pea soup, beetroot salad (healthy), stewed potatoes with meat, fruity drink
