Despite stating that I wasn't going to talk about food all the time - here we go again.
The restaurant at the hotel where I'm staying (Hotel Park) allegedly has the best restaurant in Split. It was time to venture out into the unknown.
This was confirmed when the waiter asked if I wanted my usual order (calamari and salad with a pot of tea). Hmmm.
He brought along a complimentary fish pate whilst they prepared my salad. The salad arrived as a mound of rocket, cherry tomatoes, prawns and shaves of parmesan with a little drizzle of balsamic accompanied with a glass of champagne if I wished.
Then the main course - roasted aubergine and courgette with spinach in garlic to accompany a local grilled fish. All rather yummy. In fact so yummy that I forgot to order tea!
Not long before I go back to my hotel and work out whether Wednesday night is pizza night!
Other inconsequential things .... The soap in the toilets at the studio smells like 'Playdoh' despite the picture on the label being peaches.
The view from the offices overlooks the mountains - see below.
Yesterday was the highest temperature recorded in Split since records began (a measly 37 in the cold part and 43 degrees in the shade and 50 degrees in the sun where I am). My factor 40 is now being applied as emulsion factor. Not attractive, but I'm not crispy either.
Lastly, but not leastly, any thoughts on Kiev? Had a call about some potential work in the autumn and I'm very aware that this breaks the pattern of only working in places ending in "a"! (Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Nigeria, Bulgaria, Romania, Dhaka, Croatia).
So - off to look for pizza and gaze out over the sea (sorry, that's worse than talking about food!).
