My knee collapsed on me on the way to work last week. Ended up in hospital but scans and x-rays didn't give much away.

So it's a spot of R.I.C.E. therapy, a giant knee brace, and some crutches in the short term.

Reminds me of when Royal Mail rescued a couple of parcels of mine that Amazon just threw on my step instead of using my safe place. 😆

Went to the stag do of the eldest son of one of my Kung Fu teachers who is sadly no longer with us.

This is what he was made to wear. On the left was the vision, on the right the reality.

Awesome.

A day later and I am still full from the Chinese wedding banquet last night!

I guess it didn't help when we had a dim sum extravaganza the day before yesterday!

Catch up with some of the lads, some not seen since before the pandemic or even longer.

Ordered far too much food, then went over to the Kung Fu club to pay out respects. At one time or other we've all trained there.

Yay. I now have the three Hammer Films biggies (may pick up the smaller ones at some point if they're still available) in my grubby mitts

Love me some retro gaming.

I'm not familiar with Anson Lo. My knowledge of HK stars starts and ends with Golden Harvest movies hahaha, but this is a very nice move by the fan club and Star Ferry.

Pointed the old face at the recently opened Maki and Ramen down Old Eldon Square today.

It was busy, there was an ever growing queue, and the food was pretty decent. Pricey, but then what isn't expensive these days?

The 512GB cards are completely wiped out in the UK as far as I can see.

Only the 256GB cards are available but often with some minor lead time.

Mine took about a week to arrive. Amazon next day delivery this was not.

Took a perv on Lake Geneva when I was there for work this past week.

Hanging about Richmond in Illinois thanks to work and I ordered a sandwich off some place via UberEats.

I thought I ordered beef, ham, and cheese, what I got was beef, ham, cheese, and CHEETOS!

Both Nintendo Switch 2's arrived this morning on launch day!

No, no, I'm not being greedy, one of them is for my nephew's birthday. I think he's going to lose it as he knows they're sold out/hard to get.

This baddie finally arrived. We get tooled over in the UK with the BS that is "Code in a Box". Absolute clown shoes when they do this.

I'll have to keep an eye out for this next time I'm in Hong Kong.

The Heritage Museum over in Sha Tin has a display with lions, unicorns, phoenix and all sorts, with a little snippet about the history, I causing video.

Oh, forgot to post this. As we all know, if we don't post something then it didn't happen.

The latest book by Sir David Attenborough. Double signed by the two authors.

Went to The Skiff Inn last night after helping my brother move a load of his stuff to his new crib.

Theor Steak and Guinness Pie is amazing, and I'd literally award winning!

These are the Chinese unicorn or Qilin. My cousin and his team does the unicorn dance at New Year and other celebrations here (North East England). I do the Chinese lion dance.

It's awesome seeing them being made, it's a dying art I'm lead to believe.

Oh this is beautiful.

My Terry Moore Kickstarter came in. It was "dealers choice" as to which character was drawn.

He's only gone and drawn, in my copy, perhaps my most favourite character of all of comicdom!

So beautiful.
