It's been a lamb shank weekend by the looks of it. Due mainly to me getting drunk and sleeping very late today, mine had 18 hours in the slow cooker. The meat was very tender and tasty. I served it on a bed of mash. Over all I am pleased with my first attempt. My only disappointment was the mint jelly that I bought thinking it was the same as mint sauce. Even so I ended up with an empty plate.

Roast Lamb today for lunch

Curious when she still working at Tahitian Queen😅😅

Hanoi

Forever Hanoi?

Make them feel like heroes? I do it, makes me feel safer, not a hero!

Lunch at the beach cantine today. Good to see people living normally. A birthday party of 12 people on a long table, several tables of 4 or 6 on the beach, old Aussie pensioners shaking hands, none of this crossed out seats shit, etc... Of course there was also the usual clowns table shaking elbows but hey ... if it make them feel like heroes up to them. As long as not one of them tries it with me. Its a handshake or F.O., easy. Anyway, another day on the island of the Gods with a nice lunch and red wine while watching the sea.

On my very first trip to Ireland visiting a mate who lived in the small town of Birr. The young lady, the owner's daughter, knew how to draw a perfect pour.

Yesterday morning after the usual bread and grocery run, we had a stop at the Swedish place. I like the concept of their omelette menu, you compose your own omelette. Select one item of line 1, one item of line 2, and 2 items of line 3. As side dish you have choice between toast and salad. The omelettes are properly made, not the typical Asian one cooked in 2 cm of oil and dry / taste like cardboard. We even managed to have them cooked a bit liquid, as we like them. Ham, mushroom and bell pepper for the Miss (she dont like cheese in an omelette) Ham, mozarella, mushroom and sundried tomato for me Price is not bad at 59 K IDR (3,40 Euro / 125 Thb) 2 omelettes, 1 large Bintang, 1 large Ice tea total 203 K IDR ( 12 euro / 430 Thb) Today's lunch probably at the beach cantine. Life is good under the sun !

Soi 10.............

From a Scottish vets office

Had to fly to Montreal to see Dad again, usually prices here are more than double less than 7 days out, but not now....very cheap even the day before. So I booked with Air Canada, was my first time on a A-220, the last 20+ years it’s always been A319, 320, 321. I had booked an aisle seat on the “2” side of the 2-3 configuration, and my neighbour decided switch rows right away for more room(plane was 50-60% full). So ended up having a whole row to myself, and more room than Business Class....I know most people use points, but full fare was about 800% more than economy. Obviously you are paying a huge premium more space now, it used to be 400%. Cruising altitude was reached fast, only 29,000 feet, but we reached 585 mph at one point, fastest flight I’ve ever had home, way under 4 hours. Beverage trolley passed, but no hot meal service, mandatory masks of course, and we were given a packet with water and sanitizer. Snapped a few quick pics of cabin and Montreal. I don’t know why I’ve hardly heard of this model aircraft, but I really enjoyed the flight, and if you guys are ever on a 220, I’m sure you will too Anyway, reason I came down was Dad’s getting worse, he was out of breath from walking 10 steps. Was thinking his lung cancer is taking over, he’s been on an expensive chemo pill for 10 months. Turns out the tumours haven’t grown, he just had a half gallon of chest fluid that needed to be drained, that was crushing his lungs. They’re doing it in 2 sessions, and I’m picking him up tomorrow. But he has to be less stubborn about getting help, twice now he waited weeks before getting help, almost dying both times. I’m happy to know I’ve got him around for a while still, his 75th is next spring.....going to have a party for sure 🤞

Not when you are playing me mate. I've lost the plot. Forgot to check my team before this weeks round of games only to realise Liverpool Mane got sick. A player I sold last week because of injury, Son, scored a brace again and another, Grealish had a blinder apparently. I might be wrong but you and me have the same forward line up but you've whooped me this week. Christ, even Galenkia has over 60 points so far!

Slow cooked beef- amateur hour alongside the pros above, it tasted when better than it looks in the picture. Was not too long ago I was getting by on ready meals so well happy😁

If there was a red there, both Lamella and Martial should be off... Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk

Awesome pics Terry, beautiful. Indoor salons are now open here, wifey had her hair done yesterday. Who cares huh? LOL! In 2 days it will be completely straight again..........And she won't be happy about it 😢

Just eaten my lamb shanks which were cooked in the slow cooker from frozen due a fan problem in the lower oven. Absolutely beautiful but if I had taken a photo it would have looked like Binlid's offering the other day. Lamb shanks with paprika and garlic roasted potatoes and mixed veg. Great combination and the lamb (slow cooked) just fell off the bone. Bought the frozen duo of lamb shanks from Tesco which were sourced from either New Zealand or the GB; whatever they were some of the best I have tasted and that might be because I slow cooked them. Porn's plate was totally devoid of even a piece of veg or potato, she wanted more, happy to oblige on another occasion.

Waiting for the tip to wack around.

Popped in last night to keep an eye on the place for my old m8 and to watch the first half of the Leeds-City game, didn't see any dedicated Leeds fans in there...lol....

What was the Volare Restaurant up for sale - Was 12.5m, Now 3.95m, Rent 15,000 a month, No Key Money

LOL .. Bro .. isn't there a scam going on 90% of the time with most people ( farangs ) here ... I truly hate to sound so cynical .... but, in my encounters with most ( not all ) farangs here that has been the case ..... trying to get something out of you ... lying and cheating along the way ... that is the primary reason I really don't interact with most that live here ... I don't really give anyone a chance to get into my "business" and keep my mouth shut around most if not all ... Yea, there are some super good guys here ... but, few and far between

Phil, hope you're back up dancing soonest. I picked up Cephalitis in LOS 1997,shit I was crook for 3 to 4 mths lost nearly 20kgs. at first they told me I had this rare type of cancer in the brain,and I would probally not make to xmas,this was in October. but by the months end in was Cephalitis ,shit if i was able I would have danced on the table,took me nearly 4 years to fully revover Cephalitis. caused by Insect-borne viruses: Arboviruses are spread by mosquitoes, ticks and other insects. can also be caused by the Herpes complex,luckly I proved negative to that shit. I have thought about posting this for a few days,but seeing have beat it I hope you get back to great health quickly. regards grayray

Casting is a skill that has to be learned unless of course you're on a boat at sea lol

Tonight's dinner,pork chop & beaujolais....perfect!

Looking at past pics is always fun right? I wonder how "Nong" is doing these days, if I get Covid I am pretty sure she would come over and take care of me right? She was a "Nurse" she told me part time LOL! Have not heard or seen any posts from " Barsie" these days and his wife, I wonder if all is well with them? Nice guy and his wife too.

Absolutely Cliff, and the wives will have to stay at home as I suspect the talent level of other girls might be worth a fun night of "oogling" 😄

My swim of choice. Casting tight to those trees on the far bank.

Hanoi...DSLR fitted with an old film lens.

So all the millions spent were wasted! Are we surprised!

Thanks for your best wishes. Yes I took advice and went to hospital. Making a video about it today, I’ll post it here. It will be a slow process.

Had my annual flu jab this morning. Feeling like shit as usual for 24 hrs or so. Very sexy nurse though. Mind you every female looks sexy at the moment to me 😁

You like your streets nice and straight. 😀

True he was 81, but how many Japanese men live to 100-105, most in the world, isn’t it? But yes, no doubt Covid is much more serious for the elderly, if not a death sentence

Think we just saw in Lamela the moment Spurs became a Mourinho team.I'm a Spurs fan and thought both should of gone. Funny to hear the outrage from Neville and Souness. For years they've slagged Spurs as being too soft and an easy 3 points- "don't worry lads it's only Spurs" Souness was and still remains the most brutal player I've seen in the flesh- great footballer but a thug. Think he should think back to his own playing career, the guy's who's jaw he broke on the field?

When I'm staying up country I'll go for a beer a couple times a week in the afternoon and that's enough for me. It's nice to see a friendly farang face now and again but there are a lot of negative, grumpy old men around too who will drag your mood down with their bitching about everything.

woke up,for a minute I thought that Malcohm and Bon would be back, shit back to the seventies I would be there in a heartbeat.

QPR scoring a 96th minute equaliser at Wednesday to draw 1-1,new striker Macauley Bonne scoring on his debut, so hopefully turns out to be a decent signing. Desperate for a goal scorer. My local team Bracknell Town went through to the next qualifying round of the FA Cup on penalties. Not much social distancing going on in the stand. 🤪

Wish we had some of your rain MrB. Our climate seems to be turning more arid every year. Give it another million years and we will be a damn desert

I love pineapple and this guy was a bit too keen to show me how fresh his fruit was!
