A trip to Commercial Drive yesterday....


Well, it wouldn't be Commercial Drive without a visit to Morgan, the cat. He actually moved about a half an inch curling up more after I petted him very gently. He usually makes no reaction.


Now, this is an unusual thing for Jim to be doing...looking at books.


This is a new restaurant on The Drive...everything on the menu all day for $4.95. We weren't tempted since we were looking for a place in the sun to dine...not that much choice as most outdoor terraces are in the shade on the Drive. The one review I read when I got home wasn't great for the food. I think the demographic will be young people mainly wanting to drink and get some cheap food.

Menu is limited but doesn't look too bad.

We ended up at Biercraft Tap and Tapas Bar. Loads of Belgian beer and we had a 4 selection taster. One a very interesting flavour of watermelon called "Spitting Seeds".We split a panini and salad and  fish and Belgian fries. Pretty good food and beer but anything would taste good basking in the sun outside yesterday. Then home to more basking in the sun on our balcony.
