I'll have a glass of that port, if you don't mind.

With all the rain last night I will take any Port in a storm.

It is quite possible that ThailandRyan has a wine cooler a bit like the one I have here, and it is temperature controllable for red as well as white wines, and as I only drink red wines and port, the setting is a given!

I would love a glass of Port , where can I buy it.

You refrigerate reds? Good grief.

As for me , I do put an ice cube in Red , I think drinking at cellar temperature here is a bit silly. White wine , bottle is in the fridge right now.

Depends on what you mean by gras/grass cutter.  My grass is a lawn and I use a Makita lawn mower.

Peter Vella House White 1.5 litres around 520 baht presented in a nice plastic bag and served very cold more than acceptable for me.  The red is not too bad either.

 

All a matter of taste and that is mine. ????

 

 

Shared a bottle of Peter Vella smooth red a few days ago and I thought it rather splendid , 399B from Tesco Lotus'sss

I do, but it would be ridiculous to buy it to get drunk, I drink wine to enhance the dining experience, So one or two bottles week remains affordable. Otherwise I have given up on beer, it messes up my prostate, and I don't miss it anyway.

I don't miss my prostate either.

I too, seek out moderately priced red wines.  Thanks for the recommendations.  I usually concentrate on Australian and Chilean wines, as Thailand seems to have bilateral trade relations with them.  One of the better brands (600 Baht) is Louis Philippe Edwards in the Malbec and Pinot Noir, available in Topp’s Market.  And if you can buy and wait a year—some of the less expensive reds at BigC turn out OK—such as LaVida.  I even find some decent California reds—Gallo and Robert Mondavi from time to time.

I drink less wine and more beer now because of the cost.  And I only drink socially anyway.  Happy hunting.

You mentioned Chilean wine., Just looked and can't see on the label but Knight Black Horse I think is chilean and at a local supermarket it costs 490B for 1.5 litres . Oh there is a yellow band over the cork. Yes, buy this wine if you are with cork screw. A nice drop of Red but after drinking wine in the LoS I may have lost touch with decent wines.

I wonder why they keep their necklaces in their pockets... ????

Thank you.  I was wondering how long before someone mentioned those necklaces going from necks to pockets !

How come the old geezer nearest the camera is wearing my shirt ?

I know one should leave it up yo the old bill but for my 25 satangs worth ..................it was the husband what done the deed.

Some classic pointing in those photos, the cops are clearly taking this case very seriously, lol.

I can't keep up with al the going ons but the finest pointing I have seen this year .

Looks like a Reticulated Python . I have my Snakes of Thailand book handy as my cat brought in a snake about 30 mins. ago.  This one a bit smaller , about 3" it is a Flower Pot snake.

The lady staffer gave a tickle and said it was lovely and soft . No commenet about the common Trouser Snake.

Lovely tattoo on her butt. Couldeven be both cheeks.

The little Honda Wave survived well.

Do I have a Thai name , sort of.  Being named Phil after a famous Greek my wife and Thai friends called me Few as have trouble with the letters ph.. My surname is Ross , again  a problem as for some reason comes out as Loss.  Oh well my house nameplate outside says Few Rocks.

Actually on topic:-

 

Madam cooks well and doesn't use excessive salt, sugar or (any) MSG, we make our own burgers, sausages, bacon and ham so we know what's in them, we really don't do processed food (ok the grandkids like chicken nuggets and pizza but that's a pretty rare treat).

 

I don't exercise nearly as much as I should and I'm definitely in the "overweight" bracket, I try to swim several times a week but that's really more because I like it than serious cardio.

 

Today's workout, cutting the grass, trimming the hedges, a bit cloudy so not too hot.

Last paragraph Crossy , with you there.  I have a lawn that needs cutting about every week if rain at night and sun during the day , the hedge which is a block wall covered in growth needs the hedge trimmer over it once a fortnight.  But if I sit outside with a glass or 2 of Red and it is pouring with rain like last evening I think " Damn garden can wait 'til it dries out.".
