What are you drinking today?

This evening I went for an ice cold cider... it's been the perfect baking hot, humid and airless day for it.

https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...1&d=1712833528

But yesterday was a different story.

I dropped off the daughter early morning to go to a trip to Khao Yai with some schoolmates, and on returning home around 9am, and with the wife away, this was the first day that I could remember when I had absolutely no commitments.

So, after doing a few odd jobs and preparing a load of steak and pig's kidneys to simmer away for pie making, I though 'fukk it', and around lunchtime settled down to watch 'Legends of the Fall'. I've been meaning to watch it for ages and Brad Pitt don't make many bad movies. Lola joined me of course, she loves a good movie. I asked the gardener to do the dog feed, and everything else. I was on holiday.

Maya soon joined the fun, or maybe the fan? I was enjoying cold Leo with the remnants of a small bottle of Lao Khao.

https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...3&d=1712831707

Yogi and Tommy were loitering... they could obviously sense a relaxation in house rules.

https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...4&d=1712831734

It seems that I went on to Ya Dong chasers once the Lao Khao had run out. A bit of a worry considering that it was still light outside.

https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...5&d=1712831793

At some point in the proceedings Lola appears to have brought me a pair of the daughter's school socks to inspect. I guess she was missing her... as was I but I was also thoroughly enjoying a lone drinking session without any accusing looks.

https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...6&d=1712831809

Yeah, the Ya Dong must have been working... 'Selfie' time! Lola really is a great drinking companion.

https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...7&d=1712831829

And here was a shock, even Yogi turned up! This was also a bit of a nightmare because not only does Yogi tend to 'mark' things, but also his little white hairs show up on the sofa and the Kommandant will doubtless return at some point.

https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...8&d=1712831849

Anyway, I haven't got the faintest idea how that movie ended, but I do know that I managed to put together a half decent meal... and that at some point I must have progressed on to Mont Clair.

https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...9&d=1712831868

And a pudding to boot!

https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...0&d=1712831883

How lovely to have no commitments whatsoever for an entire day... but also a worrying insight into how a retirement in Korat could look, with no daughter living at home and no work to do.

A day drinking session… always fun. Where was your Welsh mate?

Sorry, poor sentence construction, I agree, Tequila can be smooth if served the right way and not just downed as a shot in some moment of drunken sincerity!

What a fucking film!

'He died, a good death'!

Epic

^ Luckily I will have forgotten that spoiler by tomorrow!

Maybe I'll watch it again tomorrow with the daughter.

He works from home full-time, boring bastard (all legal, btw).

I am starved for human company up here, and that includes the Welsh.

He coulda taken a day off! Didn’t you message him? I bet you tried ringing PJG too!

^ Nah, he can't just take days off. Full time job.

But, I must admit I did send a couple of semi-pissed Line message to PJG.

She replied today... the window missed.

Top man Mendo, that's what life's all about.


Next is the addition of a late morning/early afternoon 4 hands warm oil massage.



One will probably put on pajamas if you ask them. :)

Invite her across the road for a sneaky dip in the pool to cool off while the coast is clear...

The hot weather is the perfect excuse to make the invitation sound innocent!

I have seen Thais swimming in their pyjamas at the beach so she might even come with fully accessorised in the fantasy football kit for the occasion :p

Smooth and fruity

Yup. agree with this.


That CCTV cam can be turned 180 degrees, right?


Another quick reco.

Now that you have discovered relaxation, I highly recommend those hanging chairs for you and the kid.

https://www.vivaterra.com/images/V55...at=1200Wx1200H


The kid's favourite chill-zone went from giant beanbag in her indoor play area to outside on the verandah with the plants, trees, fishpond and all the sounds of nature. Edith loves hers with a cold fruit juice and book.

^ Strangely enough I noticed this week that Moodeng's nails are too long, I guess because she's kept mainly indoors they don't get worn down by running on rough concrete.

I didn't invite PJG over for a swim last night as I thought that a bit forward, but I did offer to pay a visit to give her nails a trim. Moodeng's that is.

She hasn't answered yet.


That chair looks nice but you just can't sit outside here at the moment, the heat and humidity mean that you're drenched in sweat in an instant. Those fancy cushions would be sweat-stained, sodden masses within 30 minutes. I had a swim today and was already sweating before I had even dried.

And anyway, that 'relaxation' was a one day only affair. I'm back to normal today.

Yeah, I noticed on those pics that her nails needed clipping.

I think those issues are secondary to finding an extra strong version of the chair

^ What a thing to say.

The daughter's 5' 5" but now skinny as a rake.

^ eh? i was alluding to those silly little feet, they look like they'd tip over if a normal sized adult sat in it

We don't find sitting outside uncomfortable in Phuket or CM.

The areas are fully shaded with leafy trees and more importantly bamboo blinds that come down to ground level from sunrise to sunset, plus a fan for each chill-zone, plus an icy drink, tiz lovely.

Back on topic.

A tasty homemade honey lemon soda over ice the kid made and served in me Man United flask thing.

Yeah, we have almost identical models, but didn't receive any of those things for the bottom. Thanks, Somchai Fokwit the installer. :)

^^ Just a poor attempt at humour on my part.


^ Today we have 38 degrees, 40% humidity, no breeze.

Even sitting under one of our many big trees, or in the sala with ceiling fan, etc, the sweat just pours off and it's not comfortable. I guess you have a sea breeze in Phuket?

Just looked at Nakhon Ratchasima.

I guess I could hang one from a tree branch?

And get plastic covers for the cushions?

I can't see why not, would no doubt be a fokload cheaper without the frame, though do get scaffolding support for Ol' Oaky.

Those chairs are great for curvature of the spine, you need to be about 5ft tall to sit in them comfortably.

Joe It All, back to inform everybody about everything. Left school at 15 and is now an online chiropractor while not doing nightshifts in the car window factory. :)

Unlike traditional chairs which can cause strain on your back, neck, and shoulders, hanging chairs provide support for your body in a natural way. This helps to reduce pressure on your spine and promotes proper alignment.

You may think that a hanging pod chair is great for just hanging out, chilling with friends, family or even solo. However, truth be told there has been some research conducted on the actual health benefits of hanging chairs.
Neck & back pain – Hanging chairs may just be what you need to relieve your neck and back pain, for swinging chairs can reduce a persons physical stress and the benefits from these are accumulative.

It is said that without pressure points the vertebrae of the body can begin to align themselves, which helps reduce stress and pain in your neck and back.


Edit: Pretty damn cool, cheers. :)

:smileylaughing:

Hit a nerve did I?

Those chairs are fvcking uncomfortable for fully grown adults, a novelty swing for kids till they break them.

Don't need no copy n paste to try and prove my point.:)

Just what this thread needs to go with photos of Jasmine tea, some hairy arsed Worzel swinging around in a hanging half of a fucking ballbag

Let's be honest here, those hanging egg chairs are designed for kids...or Pikey midgets trying to emulate Ron Jeremy sucking his own penis in a whicker basket.

Although I do see there is quite a range.

FFS...

Surely your time would be better spent creating a second fusion meal?

While these best invention evers do have some cute names - tear drop chair, egg chair.

It was one of those moments when I thought he was deliberately being a flog to wind people up. ;)

Honestly, if you had to pick some furniture out of a catalogue that only a wanker would buy...:D

Can you picture all three of them dangling on the veranda with their marigold teas at dusk?

Although a game of 'Newton's Cradle' could be fun for visitors. :D

A real drink, drunk from a real man's chair.

No fancy, swinging half ball bags with cushions here... just cold, hard concrete.
