I love the aesthetic of bamboo

until you realise..

its fast growth rate, certain Bamboos can cause homeowners problems due to their ability to break through tarmac, grow beneath patios/decking/paving, potentially cross boundaries leading to conflict with neighbours, and even its potential ability for the roots to spread into homes through cracks or weak mortar

Then pops up through your neighbours floor boards

Young Boys 0 - Aston Villa… 5, right?

great result, regardless

Rest in Power Howard ‘Frankie’ Beverly
Great band, incredible baritone singing voice 💚 his homecoming in New Orleans will be huge 💚

actually I can’t think of a family gathering, wedding, reunion without hearing Frankie & Maze.. his passing will affect many friends and mi-soul will no doubt play tribute for days, and maybe some of those interviews too.

Earlier this year, Beverly announced a farewell tour, and performed his last show in Philadelphia in July. When he announced the tour in February, he told Billboard that he wanted to “share with my lifelong fans and associates that I'll be going out on the road one last time, then retire

The BBC should rerun Roots: Next Generation. In fact let’s have a season of his glorious acting.

I can only imagine how many people he inspired to become fine actors on stage, on the small screen, on the big screen.

And indeed inspired many more from that series to search their own roots from the US, Caribbean even South America

Spoiler alert

Very sad news..
RIP legend absolute iconoclast
forgot to mention EGOT

@Skülly this morning riding through Borough / Southwark.. actually he spotted me.. I was half asleep walking south at 8am

@atz @ough

haha, thank you

Tam Vi sounds amazing, let us know how it goes especially the long waiting times, it’ll be worth it though, I reckon

Definitely will take a stroll around Hồ Tây

That all sounds delicious.. I am planning to attend at least two local cooking classes one in Hanoi and one in HCMC.. I’m obsessed with food.. as I understand these courses include

• visit local market
  
• learn some conversational lingo
  
• learn some customs and etiquette
  
• learn classic dishes
  
• pick up useful tips
  
• share authentic cuisine
  
  

cheers

Legendary Bears team of ‘85 and that 46 Defense.. also this

Walter Payton had 324 carries for 1,551 yards and scored 11 touchdowns in 16 games in 1985. He was selected to play in his eighth Pro Bowl, and won his first championship.

My heart is still with the Bengals, the Icky Woods Shuffle, and Dan Ross, also the hurt of losing super bowl XXII to awesome Joe Montana and the 49ers

still a great season for the Bengals

Heading to Vietnam later this year.. only taken me 30 years to organise..

@atz @T_Unit tips and recommendations welcome

Going to stay in the north, rather than travel across country as there is a lot to take in

Great work.

I used 35mm torch head, it’s basic as fcuk. need to go to 25mm torch head.. I may switch regulator to variable which I have, flow rate is too low need more vava boom.. more trials

Insitu 🧐

this will need a lot of patience if I’m going to get that deep charred look.. gas torch was simple enough to use.. if I don’t pursue this I’ll find another use..

like build a coffee table and scorch it, kill weeds in the lawn, flame grill burgers in the jerk pan.

I’ll revisit another day, for now the cladding will be prepped for Ronseal stain, actually looks pretty good up close.

After wire brushing

Gas torch trial on reclaimed plank

This after 30mins

Bears
Giants

because there are a bunch of teams not included..

She dazzled us in Paris. The world saw her. Her beauty, her strength, her freedom, and it was in all likelihood her beauty, strength and freedom which were intolerable for the person who committed this murder - Anne Hidago

RIP Rebecca Cheptegei 😔🙏🏾 🇺🇬 💔

Weird right

Sounds amazing

This is why Mrs M dispairs with my food corruption.. all I did was move it 500 okay maybe 600miles south.. the region shares a lot of the same produce and history..

.. probably a repost.. appeared in my Instagram feed this week.

Getting to that time of year, again. Mrs M won’t eat my version of oxtail / butter bean stew..

The absolute key is vinegar and fresh lime juice to clean the oxtail before seasoning.. I know this much

it ain’t a patch on the 🇬🇾 four day prep family secret recipe.. so more left overs for me 😋 she dislikes the 🇨🇴 sweetcorn addition, I might add yucca (cassava) and avocado (pear) too just to really piss her off 🇨🇴, frankly those additions are as delicious as the bones absorbing so much flavour.

Basically I’ve made a spicier / heavier version of Sancocho de Cola, served it with noodles and ipa

supreme taste in three hours, after 48hrs even better, make sure it has cooled and congealed before reheating.. something incredible happens when everything breaks down and falls off the bone in the pot

Insane.. that interception

I loved Danger Mouse, also Jamie and the magic torch,

ffs Wordsworth the sheepdog in that silly hat :(

RIP Brian

Ronseal Fence Stain Tudor Black, the shiplap timber planks on the back and sides look 👌🏾

Once I’ve charred the remaining planks I will get the wire brush on them to express those contours, then seal with a matt polyurethane lacquer

cheers
