pure local lingo with a smattering of bejasus and eejit...

Class guy, really looked after us.

Evening one and all.

Heading back to my hotel with dinner procured by Hamish (real name Wan) the driver at the spot pictured below. Wan is also T2 diabetic so understands - everything in my takeaway is what he eats, so no deep fried haggis in black bean sauce then! :)

Business going very well; my isolation in prepping and lining up all the moving parts helped...

Even longer day tomorrow and hoping to solve the last night contractual schtuff and shake over dinner...

Will check what I've missed here in a mo!

Nice on the work rate & prep going well :)

liking the pic, very atmospheric.

Makes me wish i was there or somewhere like it, wandering the streets,
tasting exotic foods & sitting at newly discovered bars and hearing the chitter chatter of foreign voices.

NICE :D

Double plus good on the Hamish find.
and T2...win for the food front.:happy:

Busy day, just got in from garden, lots done, good feeling. Now need to cook dinner Cod Loin and a robust salad.

Great 3 hour bike ride heathland still not showing any real signs of Spring.

So no painting so I offer you this very quick playing about with Mrs MCs watercolour dye paints. Will finish my Spring pic Tuesday.

And because I have not been artistically creative today here is the Bach trio our Recorder Quartet have virtually recorded. mrs MC on Soprano Recorder, me on Bass, the other two members on Treble and Tenor and the guy playing Treble is also on keyboard. Three pieces one after another, please don't Feel you need to listen, not everyone's taste.....I hope you enjoy.

Bach Trio for 4 Recorders.

I will catch up on posts later with a nice glass of red wine or two.

The very same!

He then played Wild Mountain Thyme and then bagpipes of All The Blue Bonnets over the Border...we both sang it on the way back ...

"All the blue bonnets are over the border!
March, march, Ettrick and Teviotdale
Why me lads dinna ye march forward in order..."

A fun end to a stressful day!

It's a big big contract which keeps the manufacturing processes up and running...but they're tough negotiators..

That's brilliant. Your man sounds A1 and a trip to remember. :) Good memories...


Love Jamaica...got married there on a steamy beach in Ocho Rios. Went back 3 years ago - then went onto Port Antonio in the soul taxi - a mid aged dude in a Hyundai belting out 1980s disco and soul hits. Called Michael - his son carved us a massive wood carving of Bob Marley for $120USD - worth every cent. Ya man - gimme ackee n cod fish!

Oh, nasty nasty FM - I expect you have a lot of distraction techniques, will you meditate?
Wonderful mystical art work - reminds me of a moon lit night at Lake Guizengeard - 50 shades of blue, trapped in the middle of a huge forest on the border of Charente-Maritime and Sud-Charente.

Meditation didn't work for it @dunelm

Thanks for the painting compliment.

7.00am FBG 5,2
Errant is waking up at about 6.30am, most mornings now and insisting it's breakfast time.
This is ok by me, but MrSlim needs more sleep and is not happy. Errant in full flow is loud and persistent, it does not help the FBG if I try to ignore him, which is almost impossible as he is only about 2 metres away.
For some reason the skylight above the bed has no blind, that end of the motorhome is now almost full daylight, while the drivers cab and dining area are still dimly lit.
For some reason we have no internet this morning. That won't please MrSlim either.
I had better make him a second cup of tea.
Time for the marathon task that is a morning shower.

There is nothing worse than a persistent cat. They never take no for an answer @SlimLizzy
Hugs
 
Well everyone all points north and west, the Sandman has arrived with his nightshirt and that duvet looks very inviting...

Have a brill rest of Tuesday. Create mirth, chaos and fun

G'Night all

Good morning everyone from a bag of mixed messages here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of bangers and a colcannon of cauliflower mash and cauliflower greens came in at 4.9 this am

OK - who mentioned slow running? So, started slow jogging and yesterday (called niko niko) - did an online course from some nice folk in Japan and they even gave me a certificate of completion for my CPD - that will be handy for when I go for that interview!

Soy milk batch number one on the go - I want to try it as a resist on rice paper but could end up drinking some of it and see what expression my face makes - you never know until you try.
So, art, I found this bit of rice paper with gold flecks in (about 6 x 3 inches) - some blossom seen in the park. Hope that everyone has as good a day as you can make it. Koffy time.

Good morning everyone from a clear, still but chilly Breckland with one extra 91 yo inhabitant. I'm not satisfied with the 5.3 for an fbg but I'm pretty sure it can't be carbs so, despite 2 types of antihistamine, I'm blaming hay fever. Hug for the FM @gennepher but winner for attitude and art. Amazing stamina @BRSBRI and yes, Hamish would crosswaffle one. We once had a taxi driver in Cyprus who knew Cambridge very well. Everyone else have a great day I need to restrict my time here as much as possible for a while.

Thank you @ianpspurs
Take care.
