I'm just a City boy Owl - but I don't think that's a "Mrs" cow.

It was a bit hard to tell when the cow was on the ground. Still not sure how you can tell. Never mind; it's safe.

Should do something about that hole though. Next time it could be a courting couple falling into it.

Did the cow have a straw to drink it with?

Mr Owl is definitely a strong three in one Authentic Strait and instant kind of bloke! 

Bang on the money. I don't like all the fancy stuff with food and drink. Three in one suits me fine, but it tastes much better if Mrs Owl makes it. However I have made the occasional cup; but only when I had to.

 

I just can't deal with all these modern trends; smart phones, personal grooming, cooking, ironing, barbers and dentists.

Hmm, are you serious in your hope?

We have a wooden chopping board. It would be easier to replace than those tiles.

I use a chopping board when I'm preparing the ingredients for my reishi. But Mrs Owl is Thai old skool.

 

I'm thinking to re-tile the whole base. Have plenty of cement. I'd have difficulty cutting the tiles, but not too old to learn, and I do have a angle grinder. Now pull the old tiles up or tile over the top?

I find it’s the somtam gear which causes the most wear and tear on the worktop !

Bought the gf one of these to lessen the blows :

But she didn’t care for it, probably didn’t make the somtam tasty enough ? ( ???? ), and besides sitting on the floor cross legged to make the somtam is much better ..... right ?

She kept that hidden for a while with an old t-shirt of mine ( supposedly to clean your feet ) ????
