Funny culinary combination, claret and prawns.

BTW I wonder if that image isn't a new and recent "historical re-creation" image invoking bygone days.

Unfortunately the "tasty serve" is partly cropped from the left hand side of the photo...

Well could have almost died from BA's inflight food so I'm not sure if I'll touch their prawns ....

Flying back from Thailand where I had eaten Thai food almost every mela for three weeks ... without serious stomach upsets .., of course some minor ones, the food in Northern Thailand is very hot. Six or longer hours into the flight, no issues, I ate the chicken inflight meal, no one else near us ate the chicken. Within half an hour I was in the toilet filling a sick bag, and the other end emptying as well. Several times ... The flight was Bangkok to Melbourne but landing in Sydney first. Most got off in Sydney. I wanted to make an official complaint, but the BA staff said if I did they would have to inform Aust quarantine I was sick and I would like be quarantined for several days .... Blackmailing fuckers .... I ended up filling six sick bags and my roars echoed up and down the near empty plane. No exaggeration. In Melbourne I spent the whole time in the toilet and asked for a seat next to the toilet for the flight to Adelaide .... I came close to more but I think I was empty,

In Adelaide it continued for three days. A doctor gave me some injection so water would stay in. Oral medicine was useless. After that and after a few days, fixed, imagine dirty BA food poisoning you on the way to an African safari?

BA inflight meals, it not just tasty prawns and buffalo that might kill you.

You sure look cool with the riding breeches from the thirties that you can see at the front and that I still wear.

Here are my grandfather's gaiters from the twenties, but I have no use for them, despite the fact that they seem to be suitable again snake bites in the lower legs.

Similar to a pair of snake gaiters I made many years ago.

Giraffe house Zoological Garden in Berlin, probably restored or new made after old pics if destroyed in WW 2 by Villeroy & Boch in 1986. could be the firm also that had made the original before the great war.
notice three are scimitar oryx but one is a addax antelope!







from a time when people understand how to build good looking houses also for animals.

How true.
