Toasted thick cut white bread from the 60's.

My favourite travelling with my Dad in the lorry on the car ferry Southampton to IOW and back to pick up hides from the slaughter house ..

I hope there is some mustard on those bad boys !

For last night's dinner we went back to Seventy Farenheit to try some more dishes from their menu.

Wife had a Mango salad to start followed by a White Snapper Green curry with noodles, I had garlic bread with cheese followed by a braised beef cheek with baby carrots and potatoes. Finished of sharing a caramelised apple on shortbread with ice cream. After our meal we moved upstairs to their rooftop lounge for some cocktails and chill-out music.

 

That snapper looks brill ! Do you recall the name of that dish ?

Brilliant show, used to watch it as a kid. Used to think Elly Mae was gorgeous. She died aged 81 in 2015.

Yep. Loved all the actors in that show.

But Ginger and Mary Ann were my comedy throbs. I think Mary Ann in those tight shorts is what got me hooked on hanging ass cheeks.

Oh my....

Nicely done. I like these step-by-step culinary guides.

It was worth the effort. A real treat.

Although over time it has become much more simple. As with most things there is a learning curve. Going about the task patiently makes it more enjoyable.

Homemade fries.....

Monkey Dog....

A couple of these will keep me very busy somewhere down the road....

tech is incredible. I've just purchased a Galaxy smart watch from Duty free.

I can call someone on the other side of the world and talk to them with a watch on my wrist. It measures all my heart rate etc and even tells me the quality of the sleep I had last night.

It also tracks and tells me when there's an unidentified Air tag near to me with an alert to my phone, which I find incredible as air tags are apple and my phone's an android.

Who knows what it'll be like in 5 years time.

Much of it will end up in the bin.

Most of these tech companies go tits up leaving those who were suckered into it holding the bag.

Society is going through tech gizmos like a two week millionaire goes through bar girls. Sometimes difficult to keep up with it all.

-----------------------

I remember when I graduated from H.S. My father gave me a very nice analog watch. I could tell he had put a lot of thought into and he was excited to give it to me. A happy memory for me actually.

Within a couple of years analog was history.

Wow!  Thanks for posting this Gord.....sad day for me as I am a big Moody Blues fan...wifey likes them too. She said their lyrics are easy to understand. Mike Pinder sadly left the group in 1978, after they recorded the album " Octave" He did not want to tour, Dec 1978 at the Oakland Coliseum Arena was the first time I ever saw them. Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Graeme Edge and Ray Thomas were all there. They let Patrick Moraz do that tour when Pinder did not want to go out with them.  They were great that night.....just a great band live. 

Difficult to believe guys. 

Their music is deeply ingrained. 

So thankful to have been able to enjoy, appreciate and sing their music.

I had it for almost a year, so I can commiserate with you. 
Luckily I had access to copies amongst of morphine in the form of Morphine Slow release tablets, (MST) Oramorph liquid and Paracetamol which was reasonably effective in reducing the pain to manageable levels. 
I went to specialist who wanted to inject my spine and other areas with something or other, however I’m a bleeder so they wouldn’t inject me as they were worried I might bleed into my spinal column which could cause paralysis in my lower regions, so it was just a case of wait until the nerves reduced the inflammation by themselves and no Ibropufren as I’ve had heart attacks so that ruled it out. 

Good luck. 👍

When I experienced the most serious bout of this (they call it many different things, basically herniated disk) Doc gave me steroid pills and muscle relaxant. Then I used only tylenol or ibuprofen.

The objective is reduce the inflammation (release pressure on the nerve). Then allow time to heal. Over time it worked - in conjunction with posture adjustments, forced walking (blood flow is very important even if painful), along with lower back exercises and weight reduction).

I still have periods of tightness. This will probably something that will always be there as we age. But managing it is very doable. Not doing so is not an option. The pain and discomfort is just too much to bear.

Dedicated to BM @Aqualung....

I used to love these. But they are loaded with sodium.

I consider this to be taking one for the team.  A 45 baht pre-cooked breakfast from Big C Extra, described on the label as "Big Pan Fried Egg with Topping".  What could possibly be wrong with it?

The whole tray got dropped in the air fryer to get a bit heat into it and to be honest it was surprisingly good.  I wouldn't eat it every day but when you don't feel like cooking this does the trick.

Are those suppositories ?

I once caught my dog tied up by another. Nothing I could do, and she looked so happy. I just turned around and walked back inside, let them finish in bliss.

Took her to the vet the next day. Vet gave her an abortion pill, end of story.

Driving Back to Hua Hin from Pranburi one day the wife emitted a horrible scream and pointed to the other dual carriageway and I saw two bodies flying through the air and crashing down on the roadway. Obviously I stopped and looked at what they’d hit, which was an old, rusty red pickup. In the back of which was a motorcycle and yet another injured motor cyclist, who turned out to have been the driver who was dead and the two I’d seen airborne were his passengers.
The pickup driver had pulled straight out to cross the two lanes to join traffic going my way and the motorcycle had T Boned him right at the B Pillar, depositing the motorcycle and driver into his rear load area and the other two on their short, but bone shattering flight. 
The driver died on impact apparently, as he took the brunt of the impact. 
My FIL a police chief, was following us in his car, so he walked across to help out in a situation that he’d probably seen a hundred times before, a motorcycle versus a pickup. 
It never ceases to amaze me how stupid many Thai drivers are when crossing very busy highways, seemingly without a care in the world, oblivious to other road users coming their way. 

Nothing like a good T=Bone...

Ugh

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again...lol...I took plenty of lumps when I was learning to ride motorcycles but I ended up being pretty good at it and had some world class dirt bikes later - I miss those days, sold my last dirt bike two years ago because I just don't have the reflexes anymore or the commitment to practise all the time - plus I know if/when I bite the dirt it's gonna hurt too much at this age. 

We had a nice discussion about this. You are indeed wise on your thinking.
