    Buy an Arduino kit and make your own remote control...













    ...also build in a bluetooth tracker and solar panel to recharge the lithium battery to make sure you never lose it again...










    ...be sure to give the remote control some basic intelligence and locomotion, so it can seek out the sun when the lithium battery is low...












    alternatively, you could velcro the remote to the TV set, side of your head, a convenient place.
    Cycling should be banned!!!

    I have a few patio slabs that are loose and need rebedding, having time on my hands its an ideal time to tick this off the list and i just need a could of bags of sand, i already have the cement.

    Now you can't pop to any of the DiY sheds and grab what you want, they are only accepting online orders. Wickes....no luck, Homebase nothing, B&Q just get a message saying you are in a queue with a 1h 20min wait...all this just to click and collect.

    So in a queue i sit.

    All six "sheds" are open here in my Thai village, time for a exploratory visit?

    It may well be Chinese sand though.

    Difference between a concert and mixing it with your brethren just like popping up to Manc - you'd only want to stay until the music stopped and get the hell outta dodge.

    Keeps, with this lockdown some of us are getting plenty of practice, just hope i don't get any scam emails claiming to have caught me on a vinegar stroke and demanding a couple of months worth of Sausage's pension.

    The Russian School and some language school here have relayed some rather alarming news, it is quite likely that the gov here are not going to renew any visas for foreigners and we will have to book ticket on one of the few evacuation flights that leave sporadically. Waiting for official news, but it doesn't look good atm. Trying to work out how to hypothetically find a country I can isolate in as I highly doubt they will lay on flights to London, it will be South Korea. I wonder if I am allowed to transfer with out doing a 14 day quarantine ?

    For some officials, here in Thailand, it may be an enticing solution.

    So this morning we pull up at a plant nursery and before I get out of the Hilux I put on my face masks. The wife innocently remarks that I look very handsome. So it would appear that covering up a substantial portion of my face increases my handsomeness. Challenged her on it but was accused of being paranoid.

    Them that have most to lose are out there in hordes getting their one hours exercise in, complete with walking stick and Zimmer frames.

    If you want to stay alive then stay at home, it's not like you are regular exercisers in the great outdoors normally.

    Stop giving death stares to anyone below the age of 50 you selfish boomers.

    The countries teenagers have more fooking sense!!
