How, deep was it?
More than a foot?
Looks like you could walk through it with Mao's cuban heels on and not even get wet.

Yesterday's moan but they all count. Wife booked me in to see dentist at 5pm. Needless to say, being English, I am petrified of them. I always go first thing in the morning so I don't have to think about it all day. Get there at 5pm and have to suffer the sounds of the 5 people before me. Didn't get into the chair until 6:30. Just a clean, and female dentist very good, didn't feel too bad. Wife couldn't understand what all the fuss was about.
Anyway, just as we got home, SIL calls, she has fallen down the stairs and broken her arm. Off to the hospital we go, x-ray confirms break but she has to wait until 22nd for doctor to do anything. She gets a sling and pain killers until then.
Meanwhile, big Aunty admitted to a different hospital with lung infection. She's been worried sick over her daughter in Bangkok jail awaiting drug trafficking charges.
Then there's the funeral for another uncle who died a couple of days ago. He used to be headman some years back and lots of people attending.
We are leaving tomorrow, too many things to sort out before we go.
Jeeeezus.
Dont bother buying any lottery tickets this week
Blimey, Troy - sounds overwhelming. Best of luck with it all... :(
^^ Extended family PH. I take it you are referring to the drug trafficking. Silly girl was having an affair while her husband was working abroad. She went along for the ride and is now in deep shit. Her sister is having to take care of everything. They come from one of the poorest villages I know in the NE. Don't even speak Laos, but 'Soh' instead. Totally different.
No offence taken PH.
Yeah plenty of drama up in those neck of the woods, not for the faint hearted .
All the best Troy.
how bad do you have to be to be fired by your own father?
I've been working in Germany for over 20 years Skiddy. Unlike most of my English colleagues, I didn't get German citizenship following Brexit. I'm still your typical Englishman, although I consider Germany to be more typical of how England was before the right wing decided to screw things up.
^ That's what I thought. Government hospital in the sticks that has visiting orthopedic doctor. If she had broken it two days before we could have taken her to private hospital. Bad timing. The break is up in the front shoulder area, must be bloody painful.
^ I don't get it, just take her to another hospital or pay surely?
My moan is i forgot Norfolk is so bloody flat
^^ It's 160km to the private hospital and no time to go. We had only been there on Wednesday for my check-up and to fix my big toe. That's another moan I forgot to mention. I stubbed it on the bedroom door and then several times afterwards including hitting it with a golf club.
Main reason we came back this time was to take MIL to hospital to check why her lips have gone black. I thought it was lack of oxygen in the blood, but oximeter showed 98%, which is pretty good. Anyway, after a month trying to persuade her, we gave up and I went with wife instead. Toe is bruised and swollen but I'll survive. Blood test showed negative for cancer, just low red blood count again.
In Bangkok now waiting for flight back to Germany.
Not being offensive Troy but 70 miles and that is just over 1 hour, she be there in 45 minutes and i'd pay for a treatment.
Don't take this the wrong way but if you are going to have a family in Thailand then you need to front up for their treatment. We have medical Ins policy's which would take care of these issues.
Every 2 years we start 3 50K THB policies for the family and that is aside from the other policies.
My moans have diminished after a couple of cans.
So you're crap at maths and have no idea about driving in the sticks. It's 100 miles and it takes about 1 hour to do the first 25km in the wet season. Trip takes about 2 1/2 hours so 5 hours just driving and we didn't have 5 hours. Private hospital would require revisits, how's that going to happen when we're not there? The priority is the 11 year old with cancer. That's where most of my money is going.
