Can you buy it from the pharmacy next to Tim's yet?

The weather was great here this week, so I started prepping yesterday to grill today. I use the extruded coconut briquets (pillow type) which burn a ridiculously long time, so when I fire up the grill I do enough for several days for us. Today's mix was hot dogs, bratwurst, parmesan/paprika potato wedges, and marinated pork loin.

That quiet it's a two way street now....lol... Soi Diamond............ Rumour has it one will have to pay an entrance fee to enter here after the big reopening sorry reset...lol.....

Thin crust mozzarella and tomatoes pizza.

I'm prepared to believe the UK and the fact that the Oxford Uni/Astrazeneca is relatively safe if it is proven to be so over the next few months.

I would'nt touch the Sinovac vaccine with a barge pole irrespective of the cost. My plan is to get the Astrazeneca as soon as it is available in Thailand and i'll just pay.

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.

Great pics gents, yeah,there are times I certainly miss Pattaya LOL!

more hoops to jump around... COVID-19 TEST WILL BE MANDATORY FOR ALL VISA EXTENSIONS https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2021/01/19/covid-19-test-result-will-be-mandatory-for-all-visa-extensions/ BANGKOK — A test for COVID-19 will soon be required for every foreigner who wishes to extend their stay in the kingdom, the immigration police said Monday. Bureau spokesman Archayon Kraithong said the new measure will make it mandatory for foreigners to obtain a proof of negative coronavirus test before visiting the immigration to extend their visa. He said the stringent rule will apply to every type of visa, regardless of how long the foreigner has stayed in the country. “It will become effective after Jan. 24,” Maj. Gen. Archayon said by phone. “This is in accordance with the new ministerial regulation and will apply to all types of visa.”... ...The new rule will likely place further financial burden on expats residing in Thailand. A coronavirus test at the government-run Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute costs about 3,000 baht, but the price can go to 6,000 baht and even 8,000 baht at some hospitals...

Whipped up an easy spinach/greens salad and semi homemade sauce. Lately what I will do is get a jar of decent sauce. Then I buy a thing of ground pork, chop up a ton of fresh garlic and onion. Cook that and then add it to the sauce. Let it simmer for a few, and while waiting for that prep the salad and cook the pasta. Twenty minutes later ---- wha la a pretty good tasting, healthy little meal.

Might keep their big mouths shut now...Lyon, Wade and Paine...couldn't happen to three nicer guys 😁

Reading some articles that the Israelis are saying that the majority of those who have had the Pfizer vaccine are not passing on the virus. It appears that the vaccine dosage creates such a high immunity that even if infected with the virus it can not hang around long enough to infect any others due to the immune system working to completely suppress the virus. The vaccine dosage also increases the immune system 100s of times more than the immune system alone.

And Kholi didn’t play....

And most of the first choice bowlers missing. Aussies first loss at the Gabba since 1988.

Well I have just done my third PCR test in ten days. One in Dubai before flying to Kuwait. One at Kuwait airport upon arrival. One today at a government hospital. Both tests in Kuwait are free of charge, the one in Dubai cost me $32 Only now are the UK implementing the requirement of negative PCR test before travel to the UK. No wonder the UK now has the worlds highest daily death rate.

Especially after that 36 all out by India in the first test.

Great series win by India in Australia😂

Yeah...fk the 400,000+ in the US that have died from it.

I’m agreeing with you re transmission. I just think that some countries will have something to say about travellers coming to holiday in their countries if they aren’t on top of their own vaccine programmes. Also think there is a good chance they will ask for negative tests before travel. Given we are doing way better that most in vaccine rollout some countries may not be on top of their vaccine programmes before the summer.

Fake news started by Sir Richard Barrow, or Lord Barrow of Patpong, or whatever we're supposed to call him now, lol. Thai Immigration said they have no intention of doing this.

But blessed to have lived in a much better era..

EU is considering 'vaccine passports' under pressure from countries like Portugal and Greece that depend on tourism. I think it's a good idea. Absolutely no reason why someone who has been vaccinated should be prohibited from travelling.

If I don't get it under the government scheme, which I think I should as I pay social security, and if my company doesn't provide the vaccine to us expats as a common courtesy, I'll buy it myself after the effectiveness has been properly substantiated.

Reports that one hospital group has ordered many doses of vaccine for its own use on staff, and also for sale, but it's the Sinovac version. Charging 3,200 Baht for something that costs $5, sigh. Better to wait until the AstraZeneca vaccine is available. You might be able to get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, but I wouldn't trust the Thais to have stored them properly.

Who cares.I’m sure it comes with a certificate of authenticity 🤣👍

Good question mate, knowing Thailand and its love of expats i would expect it to be at a rip off price lol.

Unfortunately soon to be a lost generation, both of my parents were of a similar ilk.

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

Your a trier mate ,buts its a No.

No sir.

Friendship run, late afternoon today, now't interesting really, via Beach Rd.....Beach still there... 'Siren'' complex has had a tidy up and some doors so you don't fall into the water works overflow.... Into Walking Street................

If it gets me out of having to get Covid insurance and not having to pay for 14 days quarantine in Thailand after visiting my family in the UK.........Yes. Otherwise, I don't think I will bother.

Same here, although at least I have casually searched recipes in the last year. Just seems like a lot of work and expense compared to buying a frozen one.....I believe a 5 pound tray here is 250 baht or so, stick it in the oven for 90 minutes and done. But I must make one someday soon, as well as a holiday turkey......somehow I feel the lasagna will come first
