Modelling my new mic processing toy yesterday
Looking out at dusk yesterday.
Our cat is a retard. He is even more retarded than most cats.
If we drop a bag down he will climb in and start preening himself, he also tries to jump into a car anytime a door is open but if the engine is started he starts howling like a banshee because he figures out that he is going on a trip to the vet's. Ever since the vet cut his balls off he hasn't been too keen on trips there.
A few days back my wife left a bag laying around..
bibo ergo sum
If you hear the thunder be happy - the lightening missed.
This time.
^^They seem to like the rustling sound, my cat likes to do the same with a newspaper.
I cut the handles of paper supermarket bags and he dives in and goes from the living room to the kitchen, polising the parquet on the way.
love in our back yard
love in our backyard.
^ Is that a house from Brian Nash?
You recognize the tiles mate.Originally Posted by slackula
Brian built the ground floor bungalow and I gutted it, fixed it up and put a second storey on it.
You have obviously been to Little Venice mate?
No, I have never seen any of the houses Brian built in Pattaya, but as I was scrolling through the thread my wife (who did quite a lot of legal work for Brian here in Phuket) commented that the design of the flooring and the plant pot was sort of a signature thing for the houses he built here too, she has seen pics of that view but from across the lake. She spotted it immediately!Originally Posted by Loy Toy
Old Brian was quite a character, I have happy memories of drinking vodka with him at 8 o'clock in the morning.
The first night I met him at his Restaurant almost 20 years ago he invited me around for breakfast the following morning.Originally Posted by slackula
I arrived at his house about 8am and he was sitting there with a glass of orange juice with his blue towel aroung his neck.
He ushered me towards his fridge and said my breakfast was ready inside. I opened the door and saw some orange juice and that was it. He then said the rest of it was in the freezer and of course I found a bottle of Vodka.
Brian was a nightmare after about 11am but I do miss him but still see his Mrs regularly as she is my daughter's god mother.
lol, that sounds about right, although when he started up in Phuket he'd kind of given up on the whole orange juice health-food thing and generally went straight to the second course!Originally Posted by Loy Toy
I remember asking him if he had a design partner or architect and the answer was Stolichnaya, paper and a pencil.
He had a very nice ~80 foot boat called Lady M tied up in front of the Watermark at Boat Lagoon because he owned a bunch of houses there, it was hilarious to watch him abusing the yachties (and everybody else) in the afternoons.
No, the orange juice was half filled with Vodka and he had just finished 2 bloody Mary's.Originally Posted by slackula
And don't forget the 52 footer he had tied up next to Lady M.Originally Posted by slackula
I stayed in Boat Lagoon many times and to be fair it was more enjoyable in his little bungalow on that little island which I cannot remember the name of.
He done well for an East End Cockney Jew/ fitter welder if I do say so myself.
Nice place LT.
This was a good-looking 55 or 60 footer quite far off-shore under headsail with a front bearing in over a calm sea. Very odd weather over the past couple of days.
Nice mate and one day I want one of those views you can find in the greatest country on this planet.
My sister has a house on the pacific ocean at copacabana just north of Sydney. Last time I was there I was having a coffee on her balcony watching the whale's play.
^ know what you mean
I do and i miss itOriginally Posted by Loy Toy
tea break.
We call this the Hawaian Plant Flower. Not sure of the real and true name of this plant although I suspect it may be a Hybiscus. Whatever the name, I do like the plants and the flowers it yields. We have several of them in the back yard. What's nice about them is you can cut a healty stem off the plant and replant it in some potting soil and it also will begin to grow.
I like the pictur ebelow of this Hawaian Plant Flower as it is in clear focus with the background green leaves, white clouds and baby blue sky just slightly out of focus allowing the primary foucs on the flower as intended.
"Don't Sweat the Small Stuff....and it is all small stuff"
sorry mate it ain,t no hybiscus, that bastard be a FRANGAPANI, don,t be getting the sap in your eyes , youll be in strife, the most fragrent ones are the white fowers but the most vivid have got to be the reds or the fruit salads, easy to grow too , just snap off the bit you want and wrap in a bit of news paper till the wound heals and away ya go
A nice way to ruin a perfectly good walk...
U R correct Nedwalk. Leave it to you to set me straight as to what it actually is that I have planted in my back yard. Thanks, I appreciate the insight provided. The Plumeria, more commonly known as Frangapani, does have some type of posionous sap so will be careful of that. I do like the aroma in the early evening though. BTW, I have both the white ones as well as the red or fruit colored ones. Again, thanks!
