Friday Night Dinner: Sicily
After a trip, we wanted something more relaxed and non-fussy. Sicily, close to Victoria Station, seemed to fit the bill on a warm summer evening. My wife commented that the restaurant had been here for many years—and like Chakra a few weeks ago—she’d walked past many times without ever visiting. Something we were rectifying.
We were seated upstairs, and when we arrived, it wasn't very busy with only two other parties seated in the upstairs area. However, within half an hour, the place was full, with nearly every table occupied. Despite the influx of diners, the service was attentive and speedy.
For her dinner, my wife chose the Fiorentina pizza, with tomato, fior di latte mozzarella, spinach, oregano, free range egg, and flaked parmigiano reggiano. The crust was crispy, the spinach wasn't overly wilted and dry, the cheese flakes across the top were generous, and the pizza wasn't too humungous overall. I picked the Rustichelle Salsiccia pasta—twisted pasta with pork and fennel sausage, with mushrooms, saffron, and cream. The sausage is what gave it the flavour, and the pasta and mushrooms the texture.
We both had a glass of their Sicily Pilsner on draught to enjoy with our meals, which paired well with both our dishes. We decided against dessert.
The price for the meal was very reasonable, the ambiance great, and the food well worth going back for again.

My First Lapwing!
I went to the London Wetland Centre yesterday, for a day out in nature.
While hiding in a hide, this chap and a friend showed up starting to forage for grubs.

Staring Contest with a Squirrel
On my walk on the weekend, I sat down on a tree branch of a tree that had fallen over some time ago. Just listening to the birds.
Then after hearing rustling in the foliage above me, I looked up, and saw this chap staring at me.

Bluebell Carpet
I had a lovely walk on Hampstead Heath yesterday, finding all the nooks and crannies away from the busy paths.
This field of bluebells under the colourful tree was a stand-out quiet spot.

@Edent Seems like my Android stopped sending coordinates to @openbenches as well, which is surprising as I haven't updated anything as far as I'm aware. Could it be a problem with the reader in your side after the latest changes and the addition of the warning?
