Out in the garden inspecting the damage caused to my shed by my neighbours fallen tree ( not much but he wants to sort it out), and over flew a hot air balloon. We get loads here in Bristol as it’s home to the makers Cameron Balloons.

Yes, Aussies have been pretty shit this touo

I’m going down that path you’ve successfully navigated and really need to at 52 ( not stone) and the reality is that some of us require a huge lifestyle change. I’m hoping I can stay on this and when at my eventual weight, try and maintain it with healthy eating and some regular gentle exercise

Agreed, the second half was more sparky but they still don’t seem to be geling. They kick possession away too much and make basic errors. When attacking snd spinning wide they look dangerous - a wins a win snd it we get wales in the quarters then a poor performing England could reach the semis !

Great thread. I’m on a weight loss programme. Lost 2.5kg on our august trip to Thailand and 5kg in the last two weeks here , so today I’m 12.5kg long way to go but aiming for 100kg ( was 120kg) by the end of November. Long term, my ideal weight should be 90kgs, as I’m big boned 😂😂 this last week I’m on a TDR - total diet replacement which is NHS funded for fat bastards. It’s tough but will be worthwhile - https://www.england.nhs.uk/diabetes/treatment-care/diabetes-remission/

Fiji are good. If wales best Aussies next week they are through England in an hour 🙏

Good advice - if you want one instantly you can get at Swampy.

Broken down. A temporary reprieve perhaps !

Get another wench around to get a second opinion / price 😎

My son just spotted this on the car - a hitchhiker !

Too late to see the ex Pm arriving yesterday

This is sad. What a great man and documentary series.

Playing with boobies , my kind of place 🙏😋

Massage the resident cat 🐱 is relaxed as usual

Mk2 stick looks the guvnor

Can’t beat a bit of Swensens

Aye, just seen Berghaus has an ‘up to 50%’ sale on - fill ya snow boots

He was a great cricket fan and lifelong Yorkshire CC member - mates with Dickie Bird

Note to self. Don’t book Ao Nang in August!! in the past we’ve been here December, April and August with the summer trips blessed with good weather ( no lain). This trip the polar opposite and lain lain lain….off for a two hour massage soon IMG_3106.MOV

Swimming in the rain, Ao Nang, Thailand 🙄

Always loved this OTT mini van interiors - like being in. Bollywood movie lol

At a market about 30km outside Udon Thani shopping for supplies - The fish for 200/260 THB were huge !

Today in Udon Thani

Watched The Meg last night, it’s from 2018 but as my son was off to the cinema to watch The Meg 2 I suggested he’d better watch the first movie. We both enjoyed it, some cliched moments / acting but overall very watchable for 2 hours especially as there was a nice Asian lead female 😎 he said today that the sequel was underwhelming

Following on from an unexpected roadside haul last week in Dorset, my wife sourced the net this week and concluded that mushroom season had come earlier due to the wet weather. We duely headed out today to the Forest of Dean on the hunt, alas, not much success foraging. Some old stuff and a few unedibles that’s it for now as off to Thailand in a few days so we’ll check back in early September
