thumper63 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Just heading out to do yard work. Tomorrow it's back to work as I told the owner that I practice social distancing when other subcontractors are needed on the job. It's a politically correct way of saying I'm not working if others are around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already had 2 trips cancelled so far because of all this carry on. Thinking of a couple 1 week trips around Europe somewhere once the airlines are up and running and just leaving Thailand until December. Qatar are allowing unlimited free changes and tickets valid for two years ... saying that I'll only be booking once travel procedures become clear 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashed up by some monsters on the Stour near Bistern at a venue that only opened for the month of September. I am about 7 miles away from Bistern and half a mile from the Stour at the moment 😀 Wish I was back in the village though, this is coming close to the longest period of time I have been away from the family for the last 12 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I have just got home after a lovely afternoon in the park with my 5 year old grandson and daughter. First time in weeks that we have been together, albeit at short distance. Skype has been OK but not the same as in person I wanted to give them hugs so much but we stuck to the guidelines A beautiful hot sunny day today, the hottest of the year I think. I feel really happy now. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am enjoying a few beers feeling really happy too. Edited May 21, 2020 by boydeste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Recovering from chasing one of our dogs round and round the Village soi's after the driveway gate was left open. Three of the dogs use the "over the wall" back exit and can be trusted to have a good wander and will then return the same way. The wee one "tung ton" ( aka TYSON) has to be walked on a lead twice a day as she will go here, there and everywhere and get totally lost. Dogs are territorial and generally know not to venture into another dogs domain. Having been first out of the driveway gate she led our three other dogs in a direction they usually avoid which resulted in "Sintoe", our german shepherd looking pack leader, getting into a fight with another male dog before I could catch them up. No real harm done except before I could get the lead on Tung Ton off she went again. I am absolutely knackered eventually returning with the wee one to find our other three dogs back asleep on their beds . My two dogs from down south are missing the freedom they enjoyed in Bangsaray. I know how they feel. 🙃 Edited May 22, 2020 by Jambo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have just been violently sick No idea why. Came in after a long walk, had a slice of apple pie with cream and an expresso. 15 minutes later I chucked the lot up. Feel OK now. Must have been the pie as I drink the same coffee every day or the cream perhaps? They have both been chucked in the bin anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never understood how one can have fun winding other people up on a fecking social media, F.B. being probably the worst. But hey, we're all different I guess ?

I think the first wine I ever had was Blue Nun followed eventually by Mateus Rose. I progressed down a long and winding road after that but my favorite is still a good Rioja.

thumper63 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Just finished my first batch of home made hand sanitizer. Watched varied youtube vids and was easy as feeding an extra pepperoni and cheese pizza to Ukguy at 3am. Used 2 parts 190 proof Everclear ( 32 oz..) and 1 part alo vera gel ( 16 oz. ) Mixed together with the help of a paint pattle in an electric drill for 5 to 10 minutes then added a couple drops of an herbal oil to help kill the alcohol smell. Worked great.... absolutely no alcohol smell what so ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Reading about a quarter of the threads, the Tram one being most interesting lol. I am really thinking with this pandemic presently that forums are having difficulty populating their topics with anything interesting. My own interest span is short as anything coming out of Thailand is limited due to nothing really happening and discussing the pandemic in the Covid threads has me switched off. Once we can travel again the forum should have me checking in more regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we can travel again the forum should have me checking in more regularly. I understand exactly how you feel and it's probably the same for all forums. But on the other hand they are a social community as well as just informational. My concern is that without much traffic, forums like this could dry up during the period of Covid uncertainty and because nothing much is happening in Thailand with regards to tourism. I think it's also difficult for many of us to remain positive during this very uncertain period. But whether we like it or not, wherever we go, what ever we watch and read, Covid 19 is at the forefront of everything right now. We are in a kind of hiatus where it's hard to make plans for the near future, let alone knowing when we will be allowed to travel abroad and what restrictions there will be. That said we all have a choice and I hope that you will become more interested when things become more normalised We might even be able to organise another London drinks meet up again. Take care matey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
