Team 4 - only another 8 to go
Photo: of one of the 36 courses I ate today, courtesy of http://nomnomnom.co.uk/. And very tasty it was too.

Onya bag
Was given one of these as part of a food competition I was judging today. It's a great bag to have "onya". See? Fab. Nice little bag, too. It will be carried about.

Dopplr bookmark on my iPhone
…as taken by the man who runs Dopplr. Cool.

Interesting story, illustrated by another shot from my trip to Terminal 5
