I had crocodile many moons ago at Old Orleans in Bolton, by the Reebok.

It was very tasty, but it got me back with a vengeance the next day, let’s say I needed Imodium….

Probably the Cajun spices!

And here I was expecting something entirely different!

Gator tail is supposed to be quite tasty. I am sorry that I never tried any when I lived in Florida.

Some ships around Tanjong Pagas and Marina South Pier, including the mandatory vehicle carriers.

 

That is the most unusual ship that I have seen in a long time.

Wonder how many "recently passed" HGV drivers could cope with this (let alone know what it was) ?

Looks like there might be a High - Low range selector involved; possibly a two-speed rear.

I forgot to mention we had some cake too. Aditi made a batch of banana and chocolate chip muffins. We did give quite a lot away to neighbours but I have just eaten the last one. Unless of course some went to the freezer. Due to an ordering error we had a lot of bananas. 
Tony

Yes, we have no bananas.

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Kokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

Hmmm, that one is so old that it has fossilized!

We used to have one of those but it broke. Our lawn is really a place for daisies, buttercups and clover. Plus other seasonal visitors. We stopped putting stuff on it when we had a dog and haven’t restarted. 

Our neighbours are quite particular about their lawn. Their weed and feed spreader went wrong last year and they had black stripes all winter where the lawn was overdosed. It is recovering now.

Mine last year (and a few before but not this year):

A close-up of the yellow ones, I do not know what they are:

Oldest snafflers trick in the book - Big H is just after your cake….

Send it to Bear for safe keeping….

Or to me, there is an ocean of protction involved!

Probably at far more cost than if MoD still owned her.

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Cokey" but I've turned myself around...

I thought that it was the "Hokey-Pokey".

Just won £150 on Premium Bonds. Now, what can I spend that on?

I think that one of these would be just fine:

Anyway, Night Owl from the Piedmont.

Hmmm, I just can not seem to get away from Polar Bears:

Somehow it just followed me home.

My wife/son bought me a rubber duck… (taken a few days to find it)

My rubber duckie is a bit different:

But at least it is also rail-related!

The only UK tv program (series?) that I have seen was "The Crown"; I thoroughly enjoyed it. The actor doing Churchill got it extremely right!

What a beautiful cat!

I do not watch OTA tv; I have a 52 inch flat screen that has abut a half hour tv time on it. I bought it for two porpoises purposes; one as a computer monitor and the other to watch my laserdiscs.

We used to take our 2 cats to the vet for flea treatments, the prescribed ones certainly worked. Later on Raffertey, who was 9kg, was offered an alternative because of his weight - that certainly worked. George however was kept on the old type, which we then sourced online (without prescription by then). We pay about 1/2 the price that local pharmacies sell it now.

Raffertey has sadly crossed the rainbow bridge. To the end he had to have expensive tablets to help him go to the loo, eyedrops available on prescription only, and normal (ie human) eyedrops, which are available over the counted. However, again we bought the latter online at vast savings.

We have since gained a rescue kitten, he is now approaching 10 months, growing into a lovely cat. He too has the same flea treatment as George.

That was a hard post to "rate", the heart for Rafferty or the clapping hands for the new kitten. The open book seemed the best solution to me.

So, what is the kitten's name?

And the Pips?

But he was just following the lead provided by Rex Harrison.

 

Not the way that I remember Harrison in MY FAIR LADY  (the Broadway play, not the movie).

Captain Jerk of the starship NCC BOOBY PRIZE maybe?
