    Daily Moan-window1-jpg

    My moan is not about termites, my moan is about these Wellingtan sliding windows bought from Global House. They come with sliding mosquito screens, so they look insect-proof. They probably do keep the mozzies out, but the termites are a whole different story, they just creep under and over the frames.
    This window was pristine yesterday, I spent a long time digging thousands of corpses out, then we had more rain and a new invasion. This pic is the crop from just one night. The things honk as they decay and I don't want to buy an industrial vacuum cleaner just because the windows don't seal.
    If I ever do this again I shall consider carefully whether or not I actually need windows that open.

    ^^ I got that message once. I never saw the post appear and I never posted in that section again. Anyway, as the thread you are referring to is a bit of a daft OP, I won't be posting a reply to that thread either.

    Reading back, that lad Manny seemed like a right loose laugh.

    If only Manny had met Minty, perhaps TD would not be what it is today.

    So, the boy sat me down yesterday afternoon and explained that his desktop computer was now 8 years old, and struggling. By an absolutely *amazing* coincidence, the latest model iMac was just about to be released, with pre-orders in Thailand to be open soon.

    "Soon" turned out to be 10pm last night, at which point I got an urgent "dad, are you awake".

    Anyway, to cut a long story short, 60k baht lighter today than I was when he decided we need a chat.

    ^ Lucky you dont have twins like me. Thankfully mine grew up, went to university on our dime and found good jobs. Now both have all new gear + telephones paid for by themselves. Much better way to go about it. For the wife and I anyway.

    He will be very happy indeed Nid. In high school two Mac Airs kept them quiet for a couple of years. Smart to buy a product that lasts.

    That was more coherent than the current President of the USA. At least we know what you are trying to talk about.

    Nothing you can do, I learnt this years ago, turn all the lights and TV off as soon as you see one fly infront of you. then shut all the windows and pull the curtains, try to keep as dark inside as you can, they will crawl through the fly screen to get to the light inside the house dropping the wings on the way.

    To be honest, I think that is 8 'teenage boy years". Bit like dog years. I would have thought 4 max.

    But either way, he does need something with a bit more oomph as he wants to get into video editing.

    This is a moan and a cheer. In renovating our house we destroyed the landscaped lawn. Bring in a pile driver, demolishing a big sala, and then workers walking just killed most of it. So now a DYI redo. First part is to build a hill up to the new guest room.

    800 bags of quality dirt by the side of the road to start. The first 250 are in.

    Daily Moan-img_20210502_172457-jpg

    The start, sure glad it rained and cooled off.

    Two weeks ago I trod on my glasses while trying to untangle that damn throw net in preparation of casting it again into the pond. I took them into town and got them fixed.

    Yesterday afternoon I had a rare afternoon snooze on the 'outside' sofa surrounded by the dogs. All the while I was aware that Maya was chewing something but assumed it was her brick. I was very reluctant to actually open my eyes and check because I was 'in the zone' and on the verge of sleep.

    Eventually curiosity got the better of me...
