^That would have been a bruising and punishing game of conkers if those are Mo's size 13s bringing up the rear
I bet your daughter is loving those pics of the snow.
^ Thank you for a civilised post Hal... yes, she's very jealous of me being in the snow although for obvious reasons she doesn't look at the pics on this thread. I send them to her separately on Skype.
And the reason she doesn't read this?
In the morning I write an informative post about northern European wild animal spoor, and by the evening her old man is being shagged up the arse by an Egyptian.
You've gotta be very careful in this place.
Hahahahahaha
You know now for the future that you have to be careful when someone asks you if you wanna see the Sphinx(ter).
How could you know that, though?
Kids are cyber savvy these days; she probably has image search as a browser add-on. She's probably going to right-click on a Skype photo and "search Google for image." So, she'll find this thread.... and she'll enjoy reading about herself.... and she won't know what to make of Dillinger's footprints pic, or the subsequent comments, but....
.... yeah, that's perfectly clear, I reckon she'll understand that.
I'm joking! She found this forum years ago.
No she ain’t, she’ll be playing Roblox and Minecraft, watching YouTube and chatting to dad on Skype.
True enough KW.
I google searched one of those images and it came back as a Racoon.
That google picture search is a load of bollocks.
deeks
Depends how you use it.... try this.
Only 6 days to go...
Another wintry walk in this morning. The snow went a bit slushy yesterday then froze overnight... and is now getting covered by a dusting of fresh snow.
It was absolutely lethal... like walking on ice.
Yet I still got overtaken by a jogger and two cyclists. I'll say one thing for the Swedes... they have an amazing sense of balance. I reckon these guys would be good in a circus.
And yet as well balanced as they are, if I could pick one fault... they're a bit slack at taking down the Christmas decorations. They even get a day off on Epiphany just for the purpose.
But anyway, at least that little mystery has been put well and truly to bed!
Now that I've only got six days left I can start saying things like 'this time next week I'll be going into quarantine', etc etc. It helps me pass the time.
The only thing standing between me and my departure is a negative Covid test result next Tuesday.
My French friend flies back to Nice on Sunday and so took a PCR test yesterday. The Netherlands demand a negative Covid test (within 72 hours of departure) to visit, or to even just transit through Schiphol. While many European countries are demanding negative Covid tests for visitors, the UK is still in the 'thinking about it' stage, of course. Dithering, bungling Boris.
She gets the results this afternoon and it's a bit nerve racking to be honest, since if any one of us... Mademoiselle, Mohamed or Myself is positive for Covid, there's a good chance we all will be. That's our 'bubble' in that shitty student accommodation. While I certainly haven't been close enough to exchange STDs, I've shared a knife for our cheese and crackers and there's been an occasional, inadvertent, fleeting contact when brushing past in the kitchen, and that's all Covid needs.
This brings back long ago memories of hoping a girl gets a negative test result!

How fast exactly do you walk without a coat on? You made a snow angel yet?
Got a nice little dusting here last night.
You'll miss it when you get back to Korat sat there with your sweaty nutsack in the gardeners quarters supping warm
beer Chang.
Where do you have to do your quarantine in Thailand?
Hotel in Bangkok or back home in Korat.
My missus was put up in a nice 5 star in Hat Yai, paid for by the Thais. They do look after their own. It sure beat my Premier Inn near Cyrille's home town
^
^^^ You're right of course... not about me having a sweaty nutsack but I know after I've been back in Korat for a week, sweating me balls off while cleaning out the chickens... that the feeling of being too cold will quickly become a distant memory. Just like I can hardly remember what it feels like to be too hot right now.
Looks like you could do with borrowing the gardener to sweep up all those leaves?
Your daughter must be chuffed to see all that snow!
I have to quarantine for 14 days in a hotel in Bangkok. Not cheap either to be honest, but hopefully I'll pick up a couple of days work while I'm confined.
Not sure what'll happen when I get back to Korat... if I'll be supposed to home quarantine after coming from Bangkok? But let's face it, if all I do is sit with the dogs having a Leo it doesn't make a lot of difference!
FFS... you've gotta type fast in this game.
I'll see how 'Frenchie's' Covid test turns out before planning the evening.
'Big Mo' is going shopping tonight.
And PAG??? I mean... FFS...
And another FFS... real winter seems to be setting in.
I can't help thinking, 'this time next week...'
I guess at least there should be some good animal tracks in the morning.
We must be a good 4 inches now.
What complete wankers some people are...
My daughter goes to my mate's house on a Friday night to play with his son. When I'm at home we sit in the garden and guzzle Leo but he's kindly continued to host my daughter while I've been away.
As I was busy working away trying to get stuff finished up this afternoon he sent me this...
Apparently me daughter had broken his fancy curved screen TV.
I'm mortified... offer to buy a new one, etc etc...
Complete tossers, the lot of 'em.
^ Well I'm game... so long as she doesn't want to skewer them with a red hot knitting needle and hang 'em on a piece of string!
