We recently spent just over two weeks in the Far East taking in both Hong Kong and Vietnam. Very much family orientated and really getting back to our "roots". We went back to my mother's island close to the Chinese mainland and we also went to Angela's home village in North Vietnam.

Oh yeah, I got a bad eye on the morning that we flew out of Heathrow. Conjunctivitis. Spent the first few days, including my birthday half-blind with some sort of scraping action going on with my eyelid and pupil. Not very nice indeed. At least I saw a doctor in the building next to the hotel as soon as I arrive and got onto the antibiotic eye-drops and gel.

Anyway, the whole journey was a tale of food and drink.

It's always a much more smilier place Bournemouth when the sun is out.

Here is the huge deck chair that Pimms UK put onto Bournemouth beach as some PR stunt.

Have been putting off a big trip to the other side of the world for about three years now but that time is coming soon.

Am off to Hong Kong and then Vietnam. Lots of family things going on, a visit to my mum's island of Ap Chau, big gathering of the Shek clan, a visit to Angela's birthplace.

No doubt there will be lots of seafood photos, pho noodles and cold beers forthcoming!

Oooo, someone got a face-palm at Weymouth Court the other day and left with their tail between the legs. Even Counsel commented on how bitter they were. Shame.

There is no more delaying tactics, no more playing the system for this individual. It's all due now. Official.

Who says nice guys never win?

If this person's employers see regular payments of £250 being taken on the company card, then they need to start asking some serious questions.

We all live and learn, and move forward. Adios.
