  1. Nice mornings lately, still afternoon rains though, perfect!

  2. Hey, I have hunted for the towels too and found them on the bed. Towels should be kept in the bathroom!
  3. When I read it I did think it was 'right'...... sorry it goofed up your later extension. Obviously you cannot exit on a re-entry based on the old extension, and then return based per the new extension. (I hope I got that right). It would make sense to cancel prior (unused) re-entry permits on issuance of a new extension. You have reminded me to watch out for something similar, I usually get a multiple re-entry permit straight away after getting the new extension.

  5. You do right, I had a stone switched in Saudi Arabia. I never really checked at the time, you sort of don't expect things like that to happen in a country where they chop bits off for criminal behaviour.

  7. Quite a downpour yesterday. Remember to go out by the lake this weekend for the boat and buffalo races.

  8. When Harry Met Sally

  11. Had a bit of fun getting rid of the tookay yesterday, normally release them in a casava field 2 km away (they come back if released nearby). I released it from the plastic basket and it about turned and jumped on my foot, then ran up my leg, horrified I knocked it off and it scampered under my bike and I couldn't see it. So I set off thinking it was gone, and luckily decided to get rid of the plastic basket rather than go straight into town. Just as I turned into my street the damned thing climbed up onto my instruments and looked around and at me. I turned around and drove slowly back all the time worried the damned thing would decide to start climbing up my arm while I could do little about it. Got to the casava field again, knocked it off and it climbed straight back on my bike and into the plastic pocket by the knee. A Thai man came over and jabbed a stick at it until it it dropped down and ran off, he must have been as disinclined to touch it as me. (They bite and refuse to let go). Earlier, disposing of the snake, I scared the hell out of a few monks passing by sitting in a motorcycle side car.
  12. Looks painful, some of these insect and snake bites actually dissolve tissue. You might need a shot, be it anti-biotic, tetanus or something!
  13. But you do incorporate a big lump of fat in there!
  14. No weirder than maple syrup my friend!
  15. One flew over the cuckoos nest.
  16. A bit of a coincidence as the Mrs screamed this morning and a snake was being relocated a few minutes later, very sluggish due to the cool morning. Just another keelback. Got a tookay waiting to be relocated too. They need to be moved further away.
  17. Weekend of 27th/28th will also be traffic disruption days, International Fireworks Competition. We are heading into that season........
  18. Box of Tetleys please........
  19. No, maybe because it was posted or linked last December!

  21. Under Enemy Colours by Sean Thomas Russell....
  22. Pouring down again, filling the lake for the boat races, and buffalo races this coming weekend.

  23. Somewhere for the tarts and drinkers to sit. An entertaining monthly read much appreciated.
  24. Just used the Agoda link, all worked fine. Have a loom for the International Fireworks Competition. A friend was telling me of a trick for Agoda, it seems the price he was being quoted varied depending on his IP address location. Confirmed using a VPN. Didn't try it myself, I am such a LDOP!
  25. I did chat with a resident yesterday who had visited the market. He said it was pretty good and not the usual plastic-crap and T-shirts rubbish we often see. The noise didn't affect him as his condo is on the far side to the event, and since he could walk there parking and traffic didn't either. Personally not my thing though.
