Late March and April are the hottest time of the year. Last night, slept with a blanket and no fan. Lovely!

I certainly don't miss the heat, do you?

Agreed, such a nice change to feel chilly at this time of year.

The scrambled eggs are excellent.

One minor downside to this wet weather, is that the explosions of colour from Bougainvillea, Hibiscus, Allamanda and a few other flowering plants is rather subdued this year.

Not sure what the yellow flowered trees beside the roads are called but it loves the current climate, it's blooming big time everywhere.

Well if they don't make their foreign debt payment or they trying paying it in rubles they'll be well and truly f#@&ed...

Mad Vlad certainly is gonna leave his mark in the history books!

One way to fix this is to let them open u bank accounts tied to UnionPay such as Bangkok bank. They can then transfer money from Russia to their account here. Problem solved. 

Transfer money from Russia...????....rubbles....it's not worth the paper it's written on!

Probably plenty of members here are ancient enough to remember "The Ipcress File"  with Harry Palmer playing spy games in the sixties cold war.

 

A new mini-series has just been made and is available now.  He's no Michael Caine, but Joe Cole, in the main role, grows on you.

 

 The Ipcress File (TV Mini Series 2022– ) - IMDb

 

Good movies and hard to beat MC, but not a shade on the book, my favourite author Len Deighton!

Also, for those with Netflix, "World on fire", good series.

I noticed when in the bank on Friday that they were not offering any exchange on the rouble in cash or travellers cheques either, so going to be difficult as well as expensive.

Good ????

Meh...1 less drug dealer on the streets can't be a bad thing....

Got to be a gay person in everything as well these days, movies, series or reality tv.

Near the old zoo, vehicle body shop, think they do chassis work as well but I'm not 100% positive!
