^ With English mint sauce!

Looks good!

I think lamb will be second on my list after the full English... or maybe a steak and kidnep pie.

OUTSTANDING KW....

I was busy all day with side cement work and some time off for a beer by the pool to try and remove that burned image of Mendy ( which didn't work btw)

I made up some Potato Salad (Moms recipe) early that morning and let chill then Q'd me a Pork Tenderloin.

Wise counsel for freedom day. Soi Nana can be a confusing place these days.

Don't knock it until you've tried it. Let's revisit that remark after you're 12 days in to ASQ one day... it's easy to mock from the comfort of your own home!

Exactly Nid, at times I do wonder if I've become a bit unhinged over the last six months.

And I'll be doing it with full sanction from the wife. I'm back to full family/house mode in Korat... a week today I'll be sweating my balls off, vaccinating the chickens. Not complaining, but I need a bit of bar time now and again.

I refute that remark.

In fact I've been sorting out my homecoming presents today. My daughter has done pretty well... although I must admit that I'll eat most things but cold custard and beans out of the tin aren't very appealing but if I had a microwave it would have been a different story. I think about the SPAM every day but amazingly enough have resisted. My little girl loves her SPAM!

This is her haul... assorted Swedish sour sweets, Heinz Beans, Ambrosia Devon Custard, SPAM, six conkers, a chunk of chalk marl from 3 miles out in the Channel Tunnel, an echinoid and a piece of gothic architecture from Göteborg!

There can't be many kids in Korat getting that next week!

The wife has perfume and a new tin opener.

The gardener usually shares my bottle of duty free malt, so he's fresh out of luck this time.

Well spotted ootai... I'm only on Page 108. I am finding it very hard to get n]back into reading... it's so much easier just to look at stiff on the phone.

Men’s sandals were considered to be “out” for quite some time. However, they are back in fashion now and starting to be seen on the catwalks once again, as well as invading all of the clothing and shoe stores. Men’s sandals are the ideal solution for summer outfits; in the city and at the beach.

Should finish up my admin stuff this morning.

The only big thing happening is I've been told the cleaners are coming at 1pm. So it's shorts, t-shirt, the lot... which is a bit of a pain.

Other than that I'm just going to kick back today.

... gotta go... it's washing hanging out time! :)

To be honest David, if that nurse in the picture you posted comes round I'm more than game!

And let;s be clear... the nurse in the FIRST picture you posted, not the second. :)

Anyway, bollox to you lot... the last laugh is on me.

I've just passed my second Covid test so no more to take... and nothing to stop my release on Saturday now!

I should write a book about ASQ tips.

Anyway, I'm off to wash my hands.

Firstly Congrats on passing...All ready to go.

Secondly, you do not think people in those other tall buildings around you do not have binoculars and telescopes? Imagine their horror as Dad pans around with little Kittisak looking on and they see some hairy westerner out on his balcony yankin his pud while two doves watch....????. :rofl:

And are the one complaining about Mendip creating pictures that are indelibly printed on a person's brain.
I am now scarred for life.

I also see images of Robin Williams naked in the park in a movie I have now forgotten the name of.
He was a hairy guy same as Mendy.

This seems to have caused quite some discussion.

And people with drones for that matter.

I guess it's all part and parcel of city living. I don't see why a few peeping toms should stop someone having a social life.

I was about to say I don't have this problem at home but I suppose evidence would suggest otherwise.

Voyeurs. There is a need for the same numbers of exhibitionists.

Agreed Mr Mendip, you and your pecker have nothing to worry about :)

Hey Mendip, I never asked ... are you an electrical engineer?

Anything with an electrical background?
