The mine - Also big




The bottom pic is 2 pics klapped together amateurishly on PS

Talking about big

A tree and a van in Ghana.
My estimate for the height of the tree is 35 m (115 ft) or something like that.
The van is a Toyota double cab, 2.4 liter and runs on diesel, the tree is made out of wood and has green leaves.

For the very best calculator for your screen, go and download calc98 it is free and vely good.
And then you can do your own conversions.

Everything in my world is Big - Take 4 or 5






I bought these just outside Accra and my chef made a lekker soup.
"Oh goody, snails, I'll take 12"

I wish Chickie was around to say "Eeeewwwww"

Maybe Eric and Elisson can tell us how they will prepare these.

Comments:

I'll say it for her..........I also add a couple of "colorful" adj. too!!!



Now THOSE are some big-ass snails; a couple of those would probably wipe out my garden in a day.


GravatarFew sticks of butter, about three or four heads of minced garlic. Yum-O!


GravatarThem buggers gotta be on someone's endangered species list.
If they show up in these parts, they'll definately be on mine.

What's your chef's recipe?


These snails are for sale everywhere

The soup my chef prepared was a thin garlic/vegetable soup with bite size snail bits. Very yummy.

In poor countries soup and or stews spread the protein across more mouths.

Cindy Speaking

Thanks to my Nics for the birthday post. You are so wrong. The youngest woman you will ever feel is flipping 49! I'm a happy heifer for another year. Next birthday I'm a half century moo-cow in all my glory says the crab married to the bull. Thanks to all for the wishes and sms's. Must confess I was a bit confoxed by all the 5oth greetings. Later... I was half asleep when America called. Didn't even wish you happy 4th July I was so puzzled. Thanks Eric and Elisson for this surprise - now that was very cool. Ellison informed me that 50 is the new 40 - lol, so I muttered sleepily does that make 49 the new 29? Ummm, but gallant Ellison ignored the fact that woman in KeesKennis Land don't seem to be able to count. When Eric called the penny dropped. Niiiiiiiic! Bloody blogger. 50 or not - I really enjoyed hearing the male American drawl of Eric and Ellison, how charming. Thank you. Hey Maeve! Thank you too, you always say nice things.
Nic my love, thanks for the gorgeous diamond earrings - love them. If you slip up and age me again you will be buying me a third pair!

Keesie here:
Hi Pumkin, You are so Wise you could have been 60 so WTF.
Happy 49th tp YOU.

Comments:

Actually, what I said was that 50 is the new 30. Which makes you the new 29, I suppose. Leave it to Keesie to misplace the decimal... but his heart is in the right place. Right next to yours!


Gravatar.. twas my pleasure, ma'am..... happy birthday!.... and many, many happy returns.....

The Fourth of July


























































































For about 5% of the worlds population (the USA) that date is about what happened a few hundred years back, and that is OK, I celebrate with them.

But for the other 95% it is the birth of my Glorious Pumpkin, The Cat's Mother and my Cindy's BIRTHDAY.

On Saturday the 4th she will be 50 years old.
She might be younger than the Republic, but she is in better health.

However, my love, have a wonderfull day and I love you more than ever.
And you are the youngest that I will feel ever.
Please phone Cindy on Saturday the 4th at +260 978 080 861
and wish her the very best with her next half century.
Coool, or is it kewwl.
WTFK
"I am drooling about a fifty year old."
You're NOT.
"So sad for you."
Love you all
Keesie et al.

The Stupid Ones

Hi Stu,
For more stoopid, I can't fink of nobody, but:

Here in Africa I can volunteer myself.
In England or Oz or NZ. I would say either:
Misty
or
Phil
or
???

However in the USA I can offer
B, but he is dead and he wasn't stoopid, and
Dax, but, my phone is ringing and I have to answer, see Ya.
And
Eric's .... well, at least it didn't rain...... does leave a few questions unanswered, but we do have to remember that is Tennessee and Glen is THE Blogger, and that Blanche is leading us all by the short and curly right now.
Vman can come up with a half rubber, I would tink, not that that would help.

Get out of that bed quickly you old fart, PLEASE.
we all LOVE you.

Comments:

GravatarThankyou, Kees.

Rex

Rex asks about the humidity here.
Rex is a Miss A Sippian.
They had a fracas a while ago with some Yanks.
The Yanks only left a calling card.
No morals were transferred.
********
My homies, and better writers, SpeedQueen, Elderson, Strange White Guy, Gus and Guyk, have to admit that,

"They had a fracas a while ago with some Yanks.
The Yanks only left a calling card.
No morals were transferred."

Is bad writing, but very good perception.
No?

Read more about Rex here, here, here , here, here, and here and many more places, and he asks me about humidity.

********************
Kees: What do you know of relative humidity Rex?
Rex: Whaat?
Kees: What do you know of relative humidity Rex?
Rex: OK, then, my cousin is a relative and when we have sex, that droplet of sweat that I drop from my brows will be relative humidity, OK.
Kees: OK then.

Qatar

It was very hot.
Looked at a project still to be built with oil dollars.
It was very hot.
The hotels we stayed in were nice and the Pakistani and Indian employees were very friendly.
It was very hot.
I actualy met a working Qatarian, a very rare item, he apparently has to work, what a shock.
It was very hot.
We will be submitting our bid within days, and I will be very busy.
It was very hot.

Did I tell you that is was very hot when I visited Qatar last week?

There were lots of sand and lots of heat.

It was very hot.

The "Observer"

SUBTITLE: Pshycobabble

Flying from country to country as I do, the Cat's Mother and me are often apart. A fact that I regret, but nonetheless a fact.
So as I have no ulterior motives I observe what happens between males and females when and where I meet them.

As I have grown older my hearing have gone down. "Duh"

So here I was tonight in a local restourant in Pretoria in SA.
There were 3 tables inside hearing or "lip reading" distance.

Table one had a black and a european male and 2 black females. All youngsters about 30 to 35.

Table two seated a elderly fat male and two young very smart females, all european.

Table three had two moffies, one old, at a guess, about 69 or 70, and the other at about 45.

T1: I gleaned by virtue of my lip reading skills and by the fact that I can listen to conversations in Afrikaans, English and some Xhosa and Zulu and Sotho and Fanagalo (local slang spoken in the mines) that:
The Euro is the boss and that he wanted to spyker the one chick but he had to ask the other two out as well to cover that fact. He only understands English (poor dude), so they (the other three) were openly discussing, in Afrikaans and Sotho, how to use this to their best advantage.
Spykeree : "Should I ask for a increase or money for the spyker?"
2nd Female : "More money, he is very rich"
Local Male : "Much more money", that is if I translated "plenny dolla" correctly.

T2: It turned out to be a sort of anniversary: This was the 2nd year after Fat Outoppie ditched his previous wife for one of the two woman. As one off the woman had a gold ring on the ring finger of the left hand I wrongly presumed that she was the new missus. She turned out to be the daughter. The new woman had a big diamond ring of that she wore on her right hand because, as he said in Afrikaans " keep it there then your husband can't sue us"

T3: They couldn't keep their hands of each other and the left in a Jaguar. The younger mof settled the bill.

T1: The local black male got pissed and started to talk very loud. The european dude was embaressed but very horny, he called for a taxi and the other two left in it.
They were still there when I left.

T2: The daughter got her daddy to tranfer some money on his blackberry and left shortly afterwards. The Outoppie and his new girl were holding hands as I left.

I had a "Surf and Turf", that is 6 prawns and 250 g rump and enjoyed my meal and my observing.

Oh, I also had 3, or was it 4, double Klippies and Coke.

Sela

You go to much more interesting restaurants than I do.

Stalagtiete of stalagmiete

Today I visisted a friend and his wife.
While I was there the doorbell rung and my friend's wife jumped up and said "Oh goodie my designer is here"
So my friend and I were left in the lounge as they were redecorating the dining room.
We were called in to say that "We were happy" with the results.
I was not, and said that the walk through space was too small.
The Designer said "I can walk through there with no problem at all"
I replied "Yes you can, if you are sober and stop swaying you hips"
SILENCE
SNORT
LAUGHTER

I am awaiting my next invitation, though.

Comments:

Joan has it spot on.

Re: stalactites and stalagmites.
Know how to tell the difference?
If the mites go up the tights come down!
