On the road to success, the rule is always to look ahead. The road may not always be straight but keep going. May you reach your destination and may your journey be wonderful. Don't compare yourself to others but to yourself from the past.
Happy New Year friends ๐
Good morning friends. My unusual working hours mean I don't get jetlag in Thailand ๐
Khun yay (mother in law) went to the market first thing in the morning to get breakfast food for us. And it's better than 5๐ hotel ๐
Good afternoon friends! How's your weekend going? Mine started great. I got a lot of things done, even managed to get a haircut!
I've got some friends coming over tomorrow and we started cooking already. They have delicate palate so classic Eastern European cuisine it is ๐
I hate saying goodbye and it was very hard to say it to my brother and his family. I haven't broken into tears but this time it was very close. Waiting for the gate to open. This trip was the best USA visit ever. The country is becoming more European that they care to admit
For dinner I made rotisserie chicken. I marinated in smoked paprika powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and handful of Italian herbs. Left in room temperature for few hours before oven. It came out tasting juicy like it was from bbq. Another reason I'm happy with the oven
Good morning friends. How's your Saturday? I'm very tired today for some reason ๐ is that what being old feels like?
I didn't collect raspberries yesterday but I had to today. 500g ๐
Finally home, totally exhausted but all is good. Everyone passed.
Missus got her 4th belt (orange)
Junior got his 7th (purple)
I got mine 9th (brown).
Next exam will be harder for me because it's in December and I need to master complicated kata by then
I don't deserve this little man ๐ instead of asking for new school shoes which we already bought, he fixed his old ones with black electrical tape ๐
Inspired by
@hizaga
and his tweets about homemade ice cream I bought my own machine. On first run i made basic vanilla and my mind is totally blown. The best ice cream I ever had. All it takes is milk, double cream, sugar and vanilla extract
Good morning friends. I was so tired tired yesterday after full day of activities and evening karate class but all good today and ready for action and as always there's so much to do ๐
On the pic my niece and nephew enjoying summer view of the mountains in my hometown
Good morning friends. It's Easter breakfast. My brother's in laws are from Eastern Poland and they celebrate by serving ลปurek (sourbread soup) with potatoes, eggs and meat. Us (southern Poland) mix contents of the Easter basket to make it like salad and eat without soup
And just like that I fixed my printer. Not my best soldering but it works and that's what matters. The port cost ยฃ0.25. If my skills were not up to the task option B was new motherboard ยฃ95 or option C new printer of the same type ยฃ300 so I had nothing to loose
Hello friends. How's your Saturday going? It's nice and warm here 20ยฐC so we went to a beach in a little town 60 miles (100km) south
Fish and chips are good here
For lunch it's this new place.
The pools are for kids to play. My son really enjoys playing with his cousins and he speaks Thai like he was born here.
Next tweet is the food
It's bank holiday in England today (feels like extra Sunday ๐). We had some friends from Oxford over. We took them for a short walk then we had bbq. How's your Monday?
Good morning friends. I woke up at 6am today to go to the market with khun yay. I had boran gaffe (black coffee with condensed milk), this used to be the only coffee around here apart from energy drinks in 7-11. If you hate durian smell don't come to fresh market ๐คฃ
Good morning friends. We have a glorious day today. I'm having yerba mate with aloe vera and pomegranate tea. I'll mow the lawn and clean my gas bbq for some ribs later. How are you lovely people? ๐
Good morning friends. I've been not well for past 3 days. It's probably culmination of rain, cold and sudden surge in amount of work resulting in poor sleep. And I guess I overdid my naps because I woke up way earlier than I should have and decided to go to work already. G'day ๐ซก
Good morning friends. Yesterday was quite a chilled out day with wife is hair salon for 5h ๐ she only goes to do her hair in Thailand so it's ok but I can only do lazy day like this once in a while otherwise I feel like I'm wasting my life.
Today's breakfast
I'm hosting a small party tomorrow to celebrate son's birthday. Of course it's just an excuse for grown ups to meet ๐ I already started cooking. Trying something new as always
For dinner I cooked pork knuckle.
It was better than any that I had in the past. My wife asked me to cook it. Must have been her Chinese side ๐คฃ she still loves see food so she's still definitely Thai
Stage 1 complete. Removing bay leaves and rosemary and adding some root veggies - carrots and potatoes and a few leavy ones - bakchoi. Pressure cooking for another 10 minutes
In 2 days i drunk more alcohol than in last 2 years ๐ I only have 1 brother and he missed me so much he even wants me to go outside with him when he smokes (I don't smoke). We seemed to get more closer as we get older or maybe it's him that grew up. He's 30
Dinner is late today because roads back from school were flooded.
Five spices marinated pork shoulder baked in the oven, rice, pak choi and baby corn with ginger and hoisin sauce. And a sprinkle of roasted peanuts
