    Yes, the stress dissipates at every step.

    The self administered temperature check and reporting is an enhancement.

    Sadly no... but I've had a damn good sleep!

    ...only 14 days to go...

    I seem to spend my life counting down days. That has to stop... I'll start living for the moment!


    My new routine starts at 8am with a self temperature check which I have to report to my nurse.

    Dontcha just love Thailand!



    While I was wondering what to do there was a knock on the door... it reminds me of that movie Papillon when Steve McQueen had a knock on his door before the food was slid through the hatch.



    Mmmm...

    It seems my diet has really kicked in. I foolishly requested coffee as my drink choice, hoping for a proper cup of nice coffee. I have a jar of Nescafe I brought with me, and the hotel has provided six sachets of Coffee Mate already. Still, live and learn.



    My tasks for the day... try and get hold of a bottle of fresh milk for my fridge for tea and coffee (which is proving harder than you may think) and get a knife.



    The room is great but I must admit to a bit of disappointment over the food. But maybe it's what I need.

    Lunch...



    And you know exactly what this could have done with...

    But I'm saving 'em until my halfway point, next Saturday!



    There's been some false assumptions on this thread.

    Mendip

    I don't think they will give you a knife as looking ahead to 14 days in solitary you might slash your wrist, better to just jump off the balcony (how high up are you by the way).

    As for the food, can you order extra from outside? If that's all they are gonna give you I don't think I could last 14 days.

    How have you managed the transition in temperature?

    What's your daughter think about you actually being back in Thailand but not allowed to actually go all the way home?

    Keep smiling it will all be over soooooooooooon!!

    Ingenious. Well, to me at least.

    Shouldn't also the backwards Thailand ask the taxi to be equipped similarly?


    And that was it... after nearly six months, time to head back home.
    So, shouldn't you rename you thread?

    That food looks uninspiring. However, the Thai husband of a friwnd came back from Korea and is in government quarantine. His food makes Mendip's look like a feast. He only gets a plastic spoon and fork with his food. He is confined to his room, not a big room, for the full 14 days, not allowed out at all and anyone caught stepping outside gets the clock reset to zero and has to do 14 more days. So, things could be worse.
    Mendip, how do they calculate the release time? Is it 14x24 hours from arrival in the country or in the hotel or what?

    Not a 'rectal thermometer' ... we have a couple for the kids ... under the armpit is the recommended style

    Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

    Exchange the lyric 'beautifull boy' to 'beautifull girl'

    Am song for your daughter ...



    Close your eyes,
    Have no fear,
    The monster's gone,
    He's on the run
    And your daddy's here,

    [2x]
    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
    Beautiful girl,

    Before you go to sleep,
    Say a little prayer,
    Every day
    In every way,
    It's getting better and better,

    [2x]
    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
    Beautiful girl,

    Out on the ocean sailing away,
    I can hardly wait
    To see you to come of age,
    But I guess we'll both
    Just have to be patient,

    'Cause it's a long way to go,
    A hard row to hoe
    Yes, it's a long way to go
    But in the meantime,

    Before you cross the street,
    Take my hand,
    Life is what happens to you,
    While you're busy making other plans,

    [2x]
    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
    Beautiful girl,

    Before you go to sleep,
    Say a little prayer,
    Every day
    In every way,
    It's getting better and better,

    [2x]
    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
    Beautiful girl,

    Darling, darling,
    Darling *insert daughters name*.
