Inspired by Mr @Binlid above, and because my freezer hasn't any in it, i made a lasagne. The airfryer remained redundant! Unlike Mr Binlid, i went for a green salad!

After being told by my mums surgery that they would text me inviting my mum to ring them for an appointment for a vaccine I ran out of patience today & called them again. I think they'd forgotten her,she's now got an appointment for Thursday.

Remember when you had to pay a 500 Baht fee to leave. You still pay it but now it is just in the price of your airline ticket. I always tucked a 500 Baht bill into my Passport on the first day I arrived, no matter what, I would have my exit fee on departure day.

The best one of the 25% off 6 bottles or more is Sainsburys in my experience.They have a lot of wines already on offer & you get the 25% off of the discounted price.You can get some really nice £9-£10 wines for around £6.I usually get 18 bottles when this offer is on & then go back for more of the ones I really like(like Oyster Bay Merlot from the last offer,I bought 18 of that alone). I suppose I'm an old wino.....🥳

My 85 year old mother had her jab on friday. Her appointment was 10.48. There was a queue of about 20, she waited for about 8 minutes was done and went home. Slight headache reported that evening, but back to normal by Saturday.

Parents booked in Friday for jabs..light at the end of a very dark tunnel

Well he should be fit if and when... Foreigners in Bali are punished with push-ups for not following coronavirus health protocols https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-18/foreigners-bali-punished-breach-coronavirus-covid-19-protocols/13057028

Wonder if the missus and kid will be charged next time they go for a holiday? f**k I hope so.Love to see her have to pay 300 to get back in.Be well worth it.😝😝

This afternoon I was having a soothing green iced tea, after a long walk, sitting on a bench in a semi isolated inside area of Pantip Plaza (CM). Nobody near me for at least 150 feet. I was enjoying some light reading while taking sips off my tasty beverage. Of course I had my mask off (I am religious about wearing them) so I could drink my tea. As I was reading I coughed once very lightly. At that moment there was a fat ass white guy walking near by (at least 20 feet away) walking with his Thai girlfriend. He suddenly stops and says something to me that I couldn't make out because he was so far away. I looked up at him (he was wearing a mask) and he mumbled something again that I could barely make out.....then I realized what he said ---- "Did you just cough ?" he says to me. It took me a second to actually register that he said something so fucking stupid. He then turns and makes a detour around me like I was some kind of infected zone. My reflexive response once it dawned on me what he was on about was - f**k OFF ! He of course had no feedback and kept on trucking. What a god damn idiot. He was a Yank of course, complete moron.

Agree that lasagne is better fresh but spag bol sauce & for that matter curry sauce tastes better after time in the fridge/freezer.

Northern Ireland well on track to have its vaccine programme completed by Autumn.

Up late as I had a few glasses of wine last night. Pretty miserable outside as it has been most of the past week, but the house is nice and warm and I have downloaded the first 2 series of Broardwalk Empire. A mate tells me it's a good watch.

Couldn't resist.

If you mean a shop where you can buy a Safe, Yes, there is one a bit further up the road opposite Harbour Mall, called My Safe. If you mean a secure ( safe ) storage unit, then No, not that I'm aware of, but there are storage units available just off of Thrappaya ( Pattaya Storage I believe is the name ).

It is daft , but an extra £7.50 included in the cost of a flight ticket won't make much difference ...

Some great finds in those shops.

Roast pork was a lovely Sunday dinner

Just for kicks, looking around some of my old USB devices. Phuket 2009 with wifey....12 years ago? Geez...

Absolutely,around 10 years ago I had to take my mum,who is 91 now,to A & E with a broken wrist. The doc asked her how she did it.I was pulling a tree up & slipped she said. "YOU were pulling a tree up?" said the doc increduously.

Cold roast pork with Colmans mustard sarnies for my evening meal today,with a drop of red.

I think we need a Binlid cookery lesson, old school style with a list of ingredients and method to demonstrate how it should be done. 👩‍🍳

I used to do the same however Aldi now sell a 2kg lasagne for $12 which is surprisingly tasty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...I decided to grow my cabbage in buckets this year. Bought some paint strainer bags, will fill-up the buckets with perlite instead of bug attracting potting soil.

Bro .. I know she is young .. just like Ziggy ... just blowing shit .... but, I think .. at least in my case .. rules were always made to be broken ... lol ,.... really surprised I have made it this long .. alive and healthy with all the rules I have broken ... f**k me .. a delinquent I am Now that I am a Dad ..

I hate him, but have to respect his longevity

Fcuk him best to leave to RIPs for his victim ...

A real “water baby”. 🤗

anybody but the Cheeseheads!

The video is out now @Pumpuynarak. Loving this song, and hard to believe Brian is 73 now. He still sounds as good as the Back In Black album 40 years ago.

Lasagne made from scratch topped with a Black Bomber cheese sauce. I contemplated having salad with it for a nano second.

"When this all blows over, the tourists will be back." Where were all the tourists before Covid? It is easy to forget that for a couple of years prior to Covid, Pattaya had no real high season at all and that there were just far too many bars/GoGo's chasing the same diminished customer base. The continued high value of the baht was resulting in customers coming less often and spending less when they did. The baht continues to be far too strong for western tourists. Buy a bar now means putting it in mothballs for the whole of this year at the optomistic best. When Thailand eventually opens up to any meaningful influx of tourists I very much doubt that they will becoming from "western" countries. The chinks do not spend money in our bars/GoGo's. Thailand needs to come to terms with the fact that Covid is NEVER going to go away. There will always be some positive cases from tourists irrespective of world wide vaccination. If they do not accept that then they will retain quarantine periods and then you can forget mass tourism. As for condo projects. Surely any building going on now was the result of decisions/planning undertaken well prior to Covid. Pattaya and Jomtien is absolutely surrounded by new completed constructions conspiculously absent of any purchasers. Sadly, I do not think the Pattaya we have loved and enjoyed to the full will ever return to anything like its former self.

Apparently it goes well with cheese ............ dick cheese
