Breakfast time here. The hotel we moved to includes a superb brekky (and optional lunch or dinner). Today I had mie goreng (fried noodles), fresh fruit (today’s was melon, papaya and dragon fruit), papaya juice, 2 americanos, listening to the rustle of palm trees and the gentle patter of some unexpected rain as I read the bounce.

Back to one of our favourites, Warung Little Bird, mrs had Snapper marinated in chilli, I had squid, peppers, pineapple in a sweet and spicy sauce both white boiled rice, we shared hummingbird cake (pineapple, coconut and choc chip) and ice cream, drank 2 coke zeros and three large beers, listening to Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley. Less than £14 the lot. Tomorrow my wife is going to learn how to draw and print batik, I am going to a fitba shop to buy shan stone island patches for my nephews, then we are meeting up to go to a Balinese arts festival. Only my auld mum and the Hibs make me come back now.

Just finished Vietnamese pork and prawn spring rolls, followed by grilled pork bahn ,ie, washed down with a bintang beer. Listened to my missus moaning about sore legs as I watched the world go by. Now reading the bounce and sipping a can of Balinese singaraja beer.
 
Croque monsieur classique (toastie w ham n cheese, salad and chips - sorry, pommes frites - at extortionate prices)

Pelforth pils ontspannen, half liter, nother comin up

Mental parisians passing in the baking 35°C heat, the women stunning n from all parts of compass, the old pro waiters doin their thing, a quick broad smile and a 'merci monsieur' when you finally fkn order

Back to Amsterdam in a few hours hopefully, then quick train to Haarlem and a Duvel and pipe of hãsh to relax after a busy day of travel.

They've been very gentle with the toasting, energy prices still a bit lofty there?
Click to expand...
Loftiest possible! ~€18 for the toasti, €9,50 for the half liter (+/- a pint) and €5 for the withering ephemeral smile for the tip.

Changes upcoming on ways to pay energy bills but didn't hear many grumbles?
 
Away down to Leadhills today to do a wee job. Yous golfers. The highest golf course in Scotland is at Leadhills.

And

Allan Ramsay, the poet, and William Symington (1763–1831), one of the earliest adaptors of the steam engine to the purposes of navigation, were born at Leadhills......

Scranning a banana.

Guzzlin tea.

Watching the rain pissing down.
 
A last lunch here in Bali. Awfy nice it was too. Mrs 1875 had Indonesian Ayam bakar Taliwang (Grilled Chicken) and Sambal Matah, I had chicken cooked in picked onion, carrot, cucumber and chilli, both with boiled rice and washed down with fresh kelapa muda ( young coconut water). Listening to some laid back tunes and waiting to head to the airport for the 24 hour journey home.

Yes we are leaving Bali at the normal time, but flight from Doha is leaving earlier and we have a 45 transit that will be challenging. Hame later too.

Hope no hassle and a safe trip then. 45 is certainly pushing it but from experience I can say if you do miss your connection they are very good at meeting you at the gate with your seat tickets for the next available flight.
 
Crabbies Alcohol Ginger Beer is now 3.4% ABV. It used to be 4% ABV. Still tasty but one is enough, too sweet.
 
Cup of tea, mini apple pie, sitting in the sun thinking, good day to be a Hibee so far 💚🇳🇬
