Nguyen Phat Tri, is a 28 year old a young hairstylist from Vietnam, he graduated from An Giang University, with a degree in Biotechnology in 2015, but as he always had an inclination for the arts, he decided to go to Ho Chi Minh City to study makeup and hairdressing,

Nguyen Phat Tri’s designs generate millions of views on social media, but here is the thing, the simplest designs take 1 to 2 days to complete, but the most complex of them can take 2-3 months to complete,

as you might expect this sort of quality does not come cheap for locals, bridal designs are priced between 3 and 5 million dong at today's rate £97.67 or $131.35 and £162.78 or $218.98, and while his more complex signature hairstyles cost between 5 and 7 million dong at today's rate £162.78 or $218.98 and £227.94 or $306.48,

despite the lucrative business, Nguyen Phat Tri usually declines more requests than he accepts, because he prefers to dedicate his time to researching new designs and techniques, “I want to inspire creativity in people who share my passion, and I hope to help Vietnam’s hair industry grow and reach the world,” the 28-year-old said, if you as a budding hairstylist, or are just interested in seeing more, have a look  Nguyen Phat Tri’s Instagram and TikTok channels. what amazing styles!

I Have Seen Lorries And Vans,

left with doors open to show potential thieves there is nothing inside worth stealing,

but now it appears the same is happening with private cars, apparently in San Francisco and Oakland areas have seen a considerable increase in vehicle break-ins in recent months, and things have reportedly gotten so bad that people would rather leave their cars wide open just to show would-be thieves that they have nothing worth stealing, “There’s nothing in my car, and they can see that there’s nothing to take,” Parisa Hemmat, a business owner in Oakland, told Inside Edition, as she left her SUV with the trunk wide open, 

NBC Bay Area reports that break-ins in San Francisco have spiked nearly 200% since last year, with about 74 new break-ins reported every day. Some car owners have turned to signs in the windows that read “Please use the doors,” or “Please Do Not Break Glass!! Nothing Inside!!”, although leaving the car with its doors unlocked and even with the trunk open when parked is becoming popular in the Bay Area, police are warning motorists against it, “They could steal your batteries, your tires,” former San Francisco Deputy Police Chief Garret Tom told ABC 7. “They could go into your glove compartment and find where you live. It’s an invitation for disaster.” I remember many years ago, before lockable battery compartments in lorries and trucks, thieves would steal the batteries, (lorries often have two), then come back the following night to steal the brand new replacements!

We Had A Quiet Day,

in the afternoon we were out,

through a wet park to the bus stop,

to arrive at the Odeon cinema in Beckenham,

time to load up for the film,

popcorn, of course,

and tortilla chips,

with dips and olives for Diana,

 I have to say it, just what you want for eating in a dark cinema, not, 

all set and we were ready to go, the film tonight?

The King's Man, what a treat! we both thoroughly enjoyed the film, but then we enjoyed the other two in the franchise, but in all fairness I did mentioned to Diana that I was not too sure about this prequel, I was so wrong, the fight scenes as usual were so well choregraphed, the fight in No Man's Land particularly scary dairy, and as a bonus it was set against a number of true life happenings, from the British invention of concentration camps in the Boer War to the bazaare assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, here is hoping for a fourth King's Man,

outside it was dark and wet, we made our way home for our evening meal,

 and of all things Chicken Run, we had not watched the film for so long, followed by a New Tricks before we were off to bed.

I Do Really Like,

the old fashioned lines of 1930s gentlemen's yachts,

like this one, by John Bain, a Silver class Ormidale, named Sea Quest, which as it happens we featured way back in December 2017,

so I was really interested when I saw this boat,

built by Netherlands-based yacht manufacturer KM Yachtbuilders, they have launched the Bestevaer 53 M/Y, a motor yacht with a minimalist design and an "understated elegance",

"It is quite a radical design statement in a world of slick bling look-alike motor yachts," KM Yachtbuilders said,

and I have to agree,

most of the moderen floating gin palaces I see do not appeal to me in the least,

"The only maintenance an unpainted aluminium hull needs is regular rinsing with water, which is partly why aluminium yachts retain their sales value even after decades of intensive use," added the brand,

Bestevaer 53 M/Y's interiors are designed by Christien Starkenburg, founder of Studio Slow, and made from natural materials including Danish wool by Kvadrat and brushed oak, 

the yacht contains two cabins with en-suite bathrooms: a primary bedroom with a double bed and another with two single beds, "The Bestevaer 53 M/Y is a one-of-a-kind motor yacht that perfectly blends functionalist design with understated elegance," said KM Yachtbuilders, inside, Bestevaer 53 M/Y also features a 49-inch flatscreen TV and a luxury kitchen equipped with an electric hob, oven, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. The cabins also have central heating, air-conditioning, a dryer and storage space, for the technical:

Length over all (LOA)	15.97m
Length waterline (LWL):	15.65m
Beam:	4.97m
Draught:	0,85m
Height above DWL:	3.40m (3.60m with antenna mast)

would I like one? yes please! and if you do here is the brochure.

When I First Read This Article,

it almost made me wonder, 

if the cure might be worse than what it was saving you from! some people claim that 5G is harmful to human health, and for those that believe that there is help at hand, from pendants like the Quantum anti-5G to bracelets and even sleep masks, the internet is full of accessories that can allegedly protect wearers from 5G technology, but here is the problem, some products tested by the Dutch authority are designed to be worn constantly, and are in very close contact with the skin, which makes them more dangerous. Although many of these accessories are described as “anti-radiation”, they appear to have the opposite effect, exposing wearers to radiation,

often misleadingly promoted as “negative ion” items with several health benefits, these anti-5G and anti-radiation accessories usually contain things like volcanic ash, titanium, tourmaline, zeolite, germanium and monazite sand, and naturally occurring radioactive elements, such as uranium and thorium, “Ionizing radiation can damage tissues and DNA,” ANVS explained in a press release. “The amount of radiation measured in the tested products is low. However, in the case of prolonged and continuous use, it can exceed the legal limit of skin exposure to radiation” according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 5G technology emits non-ionizing waves that, unlike radioactive materials, don’t damage DNA. They also don’t cause Covid, as some early-pandemic conspiracy theories claimed, maybe the cure is worse than the cause?

Boxing Day,

started with a bit of bubbly,

easy does it,

Ta-Da!, Steve and Kai were going to spend Boxing Day with us,

'Cheers!', from Diana,

 

and Kai,

it was soon time for our starters,

a seafood platter,

and at the far end of the table,

mussels in a white wine sauce,

'Cheers!', from everybody,

time for another bottle,

before our main course, 

it was time for crackers,

lots of them!

we were soon all wearing party hats,

one more,

for Kai and myself,

before our main course,

so eyes down and tuck in,

a gammon ham,

and beef Wellington were the meats of the day, with lots of supporting vegetables,

rather appropriate, a 1 oz, portable sprit flask, was in one of the crackers,

we followed with a Christmas log roll, 

and a few more crackers, after our meal it was feet up for a film and what better than National Lampoons Christmas Vacation? with the end of that we said our farewell to Steve and Kai, for us it was feet up for a couple of Boxing Day celebrity quiz shows before a Columbo and we were off to bed.
