Happy anniversary.

 Greetings grapple fans.

Come on admit it 😀you know what I mean...

Kent Walton and his iconic commentary of the Saturday afternoon wrestling until Greg Dyke went PC and delivered a forearm smash to the viewing on commercial TV and Les Kellet, Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy were taken from the Saturday afternoon goggle box.

Such a shame, I loved it.

Not that has anything to do with the title.

Nope, that is because on this day 69 years ago, my mum and dad got married.

The story goes that dad, who had decided to make his post war life in America received a telegram from my mum announcing she was arriving at New York by boat, and he was to be there to meet her.

That was my mum for sure.

I don't have a picture of them together in 1954 but here is one on my favourite holiday snaps.

Here in Chiang Mai the air wasn't too bad yesterday and on my stroll into the city it was good to see river tourism on the up.
The air is a little worse today but not enough to stop me getting out for a stroll and a ride on the burg, masked up of course.

Want to see yesterdays stroll?

Thought so:


Coffee.

Olympus Oldies Diary

November 2023 and a small bunch of retired Olympus UK oldies got together for bike rides, MotoGP and a trip to Vietnam. So I hastily put together some snaps to make a slide diary. Unfortunately my slideshow app kept crashing and simply would not produce the normal 4K video so here it is at FHD. Which, as it has taken all day to get it done is probably as good as this will be, at least until I know what is going wrong.

A bit of an update

 Greetings all It has been a busy time here in the Trinder household. Our friends Steve and Izzy are here, it’s great to see then after the Covid enforced travel ban so here are a few snapshots of the stuff we have been up to. Christmas dinner at O.M.G A wander around the 700-year park A wine or two at Moment and Wine A walk by Mae Kuang Dam where the water is still so high the lower road is under and no longer accessible. Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden Mon Jam And the Stinky Canal. All of this has been wonderful but for Pin and I it is clouded by our Satang being seriously ill and needing an operation. The good news is she looks to be healing well and today, fingers crossed, she can come back home and we can be a family again.

Olympus Oldies, the Pattaya Ride

 Only a month after the event, it is a good job I am not paid as a reporter. Anyway, with a November scheduled to a bunch of oldies that once worked for Olympus, when Olympus was Olympus that is, setting out to take South East Asia by storm (more a gentle breeze) the world needs to know that later life can be fun, an awful lot of fun. The drawback does include getting stuff wrong, like deleting the bikes onboard video before checking it had been transferred😖 so on this particular video you have to make do with the Relive trace. No way do I, or am I anything like the talented friends from Olympus and elsewhere when it comes to artistic prowess but it is good to be able to bring the viewing public down to earth now and again. Coffee.
