    Nasty cough that Jack... hope it's nothing pandemiccy...

    The gardener is worth his weight in gold to me... with me away so much this life wouldn't be possible without him. It's a long story.

    But no pics sorry... what goes on in the garden stays in the garden!

    Well.....I haven't been drinking at all... I am back to my once a week routine and have been holding true to it although the past Friday I only drank 1 IPA I had in the fridge.

    My US business colleagues that mule over my Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey have been clipped from traveling. I have 4 bottles coming......maybe. Unless this Virus thing stops all travel.

    Self control isn't really my strongest trait, with a lot of time at home the temptation to drink all evening, every evening is one I am trying to save for the weekend with friends.

    It's is actually nice and sour, I find most soft drinks and juices to be too sickly sweet for me.

    Thought I'd do a dinner/What are you drinking pic



    Did me a Burger in my air cooker. First time using it. Turned out pretty good



    Washing it all down with a very nice single barrel Kentucky Bourbon.

    It's been a long day today... (and it's supposed to be my time off...)

    Alarm at 05:50... school run... dog walk... chicken stuff... entire morning sorting out my Aussie tax issues... cook my daughter's requested quiche... school run... hour in the gym... help with homework...

    I finally sat down at 18:15 with my Leo, and then this apparition appeared...



    Makes it all worth while!

    Until... she advises me she's playing 'soccer'... *splutter splutter*



    "Bladdy soccer... what's that? It's a bladdy football..."

    There's too many American and Filipino teachers at her school.

    I don't want to be a hard father, but I try and keep the standards up. In the car, if one of the kid's let's slip with an Americanism, the punishment is to come up with five more Americanisms with the correct British translation... eg, candy... sweets; sidewalk... pavement; flashlight... torch; cookie... biscuit; vacation... holiday, etc etc...

    But what with Youtube and now Ticktock (?)... I know I'm fighting a losing battle.

    I am actually on the wagon after seeing the deadly effect of Alcohol abuse on some of our members, ie the basement dweller and the remoaners (not mentioning any names). I would however be tempted by a bottle of 4 roses, a bourbon hard to come by in Oz.

    ^ Nice backdrop for an evening tipple!

    The MIL passed away in the early hours today... it's been expected for weeks, if not months, but still sad nonetheless.

    A Ya Dong in her memory... she was a good old gal and I'm having a private few minutes to think of her. A fitting drink I think for someone who spent her working life in the paddy fields.

    I'm at home with the daughter... I've no wish to be at the temple to see the crocodile tears of those who did very little to help during the end of her life.

    Cheers MIL!

    I've got a bottle of Savanna cider in the fridge. I think I'll drink it later this evening.

    ^ That looks great... wherever did you get it? I have to go down to Sukhumvit for a couple of days next week, maybe I can pick some up?

    There's a lot of cider been drunk on this page... doesn't seem fair while I'm still stuck in a Leo / Ya Dong rut. No cider in Korat's Makro last week and no time to look elsewhere.

    Last night was no different... got back late after a Leo binge with a mate, the daughter ran upstairs for a cuddle with mum, and I thought I'd have a quick nightcap.

    Oh yeah... Yogi had nicked my spot. That black marble must be cool.



    So the dog's perspective last night... Yogi came down to join me.

    *The nearest Villa to our house exact location withheld because i want all the cider to myself.
    Nice bottle of cider just a quick caution it was a still cider but still fermenting in the bottle when opened fizzed everywhere for about 10 seconds ,stated 7.2 % on bottle but i reckon more like 8.5%.
    Fascists dress in black and go around telling people what to do, whereas priests... more drink!

    Failed at not spilling it due to the shakes.
