Some lovely stone work there Bob. I like the shop front board, very nice indeed.

Bangers I know but Snorkers is a first for me. We've got quite a variety in our deli's...all sorts but I like the traditional breakfast sausages. The Wurst needs getting used to...they're huge unlike the Chinese preserved sausages that go well with fried rice or the famous Char Kueh Teow (Stir fried flat vermicelli with dark sauce, light soya, cockles, bean sprouts, spring onions, egg, garlic, pork lard and a dash of chilli for bite in a very hot wok) I've been warned off that by the Doctor because it's addictive pork lard and availability in every Chinese coffee shop.

Must check out Cruel Sea.

Cheers,
Richard

Must check out Cruel Sea.

It's an utter classic, Richard, set on board a Royal Navy Corvette during the battle of the Atlantic.
The book(also highly recommended) it is based on by Nicholas Montserrat was written from experience

While you’re at it Richard, look up “In which we serve”, it’s another classic from the same era.....which was one of the high points of British cinema...

Just to let you guys know I had my last blood test and check up today. Doc has given me a clean bill of health apart from a need to up my protein intake.

Like to say thanks again for the well wishers. Lots of things has happen between my ordeal and now and what a speedy recovery it was. Sorry to say the hospital didn't let me take the gown home and ya, the gallstones look like one of the assortments from the Liquorice allsorts.

Back to normalcy...nothing has affected my bench time.

Cheers,
Richard

Happy to hear that you feel better...now we need to see more of your masterpieces..
