On a fine day in Spring
a man with much bling
fell to the floor
and shaken to the core
stayed down and started to sing…
Hmmm….
Once, long ago in York,
there was a master of the fork
who ate and ate and ate
Everything on his plate
But not the pie of pork
Details – in Xian
XIAN – rural still life
Not for tourists – this reminds of my grandfather’s cellar in Germany – where – 40 years ago – we had similar mounds of coal – ready for heating, cooking etc – memories
XIAN – General
The detial really was quite amazing.
Oddities
Run Forrest! Well, carved wooden man…closer to a forest than you will ever get…fine! That’s it, I am going home!
Riddle – why 322 and what does the German sentence mean?
Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser?
40 year old port – life could be worse
Yup, a lot worse. A fine finish to a fine meal. Subtly smokey honey coats your mouth as you sip and enjoy. Tranquil.
Escargot in San Francisco
In fact this is the first time I have tried snails. Quite nice, cooked in garlic butter and then spooned into a crispy vol-au-vent. The garlic was not overpowering. All around delectable.
Yet another limmerick…
Five boys in Sweden
Couldn’t be beaten
ran up the hill
round the old mill
and were lapped by Wil Wheaton.
