you are just across the expressway from me. they got you holed up in bandit country
Well, I'm a day in and starting to get a bit bored, to be honest.
I just reported my second temperature check of the day, and with my last job of the day done I think I'll enjoy a sundowner on the balcony while waiting for my dinner.
I have also just discovered 'Line of Duty' on Netflix. Don't know how I've missed it before, and there's 5 series, so that should keep me going for a couple of days!
Thank you Helge, but go and see a doctor mate.
It's all easy with hindsight... if I'd have known there'd be no checks I'd have brought a lot more than that!
You've gotta look hard, but they're out there!
As usual my daughter is remarkably unflustered by it all... but I know that she's just hiding her emotions!
She says that she's making a list of things she wants us to do, food I need to cook and movies we need to watch together. I'm gonna be busy... I forget that it's not only me who's been deprived of steak and kidney pie for so long.
Yes, point taken Shutree... but did he pay 60,000 Baht for the privilege?
I believe I have to serve 15days/14 nights and that I will be released on the morning of the last day of my sentence, but I'll just see what happens. I'm having enough trouble just getting some milk at the moment.
Now you tell me... I wondered why the nurse was looking so confused.
Nope... I did see it and had a read. I'll start up the exercise once I shake off this jet lag! Thanks for your concern.
Tonight's meal was also 'uninspiring'... and I was on the phone to my mum when it was delivered and didn't hear the knock at the door, so it was also stone cold.
After a long chat with the girl at reception this afternoon I thought we'd arranged for a bottle of fresh milk to come with my evening meal, for my cups of tea and coffee.
Nom sud yeah?
Intriguingly I received a sanitary bag full of sugar instead. I've been in Thailand long enough not to even question these things.
Tomorrow is another day...

The fooker's eating better than Chitty!
What facilities do you have in the room? I guess a kettle is a foregone conclusion, and a small fridge. What about a microwave? Given you're at the start of a two week stay, maybe look at some of the online shopping options, such as Villa Market (Easy Online Grocery Shopping at Villa Market). Should be same day delivery. I think alcohol delivery is now banned in Thailand (this in the last few months so you may have missed that news).
^^^ I didn't think about that.
Sorry Joe...
^^ That's a very good idea PAG, I'll investigate but I know that Grab and Food Panda are banned from delivering to ASQ. Alcohol is banned altogether, regardless of a delivery ban.
I have a kettle and an empty fridge. No microwave. Heating my peas up will be a challenge.
Deleted sorry, you already mentioned Grab food wasn't possible. Not good mate!
Fucking ell, Mendip. The whole experience looks like an extended Come Dine With Me Chez Chitty. If you open that door and you've got fusion tapas waiting for you, start making plans for a moonlight flit off that balcony.
What would you give now for a portion of big Mo's meat and an icy trip to the Systembolaget?

At Suvarnabhumi your luggage quite often gets put through the scanner machine by customs these days. I usually wait and walk through with a big group of Chinese. I wasn't sure what to expect yesterday with so few people travelling and stayed to the allowance. A mate told me it was now automatic 30,000 Baht fines if you're over.
Kind of regret it now.
No, it's not allowed for ASQ.
My tactic will be bribery to a cleaner... although I get no contact wirh anyone for a week.
But in Thailand where there's a will, there's a way... usually.
They say you find out who your real friends are in times of adversity. My good Welsh mate in Korat has already taken to Whatsapping me when he leaves his house, telling me where he's going and then sends me pictures of his resaurant food.
Wanker that he is.
Enjoying a few classic martinis, unfortunately I don’t have any martini glasses. But never mind need is the mother of innovation.
This popular thread continues to endear, Mendy -
Best wishes.
See ya on the other side.
Have you inquired about an off the ASQ menu dish? That may be available.
I resemble that remark
I'll have you know it's curry night at Chez Chitty!
Two hours I've been lovingly preparing and cooking my speciality Chicken Madras.
Been listening to some 70's Funk and sinking a few San Migs,yes the wheel has fallen of the wagon.
It could be worse Mendip,you could be on full lockdown in the UK ,its not stopped raining this year and everywhere is ghostly quiet.
I the bright side my home gym sessions have took off with a vengeance and I've even got the kids involved.
The oldest went quite skinny last year through lack of exercise but this year is going full on with the home weights and is making terrific gains.
My upper body muscle is returning also.
My I suggest you take this two week opportunity to get yourself super fit and toned for your return home, I'd even be inclined to go for the all over tan on your balcony.
Yeak fvck it,nothing wrong with nude sun bathing. It's not as if someone is gonna come and tell you off.
I may have some peas with my roast in your honour tomorrow, enjoy the Netflix box sets.

I fear for that maid he's thinking of bribing to bring food and alcohol in.
The only hole Mendip has seen over the past 8 months is the one in the back of the Volvo where the skis fit.
She'll bend down to put his food outside his door one morning and he'll be up their like a shit house rat
Lots of food talk I see... much appreciated of course. I hope to return the favours one day.
Yeah... you've reminded me of how bad it could have been Hal... I'd better wind it in a bit.
Although I must admit a visit from 'Big Mo' with one of his Turkish kebabs would be more than welcome right now.
He was leaving the day after me and will be back home in Alexandria now where Covid is rampant... four kids, one of whom was sick and elderly parents, all living in the same house. I don't envy him that.
Yeah... don't ya just hate it when that happens...
There's an idea Joe... the only people who overlook my balcony are the passengers on the Airport Link trains... and I doubt there are many of them just now.
And they'd need bloody good eyesight as well... but no, I don't mean it like that... I mean because they are so far away...
Where's JPPR when you need him? Too busy messing about with his pool no doubt.
I wonder what's the payload of his fancy drone?
An hour or so??!
I'm not a social worker.
A couple of minutes is all I need.
I was up until 3:30am this morning watching 'Line of Duty' and I'm knackered... I missed the 8am knock on the door so had a stone cold breakfast and was late logging in my temperature on LINE.
I think I'm in a bit of trouble as well...
Only two days in and a third of my bottle of whisky seems to have gone and last night I nailed half a bag of my daughter's duty free Maltesers...
But today I got my milk! Not as much as I hoped but a small victory nonetheless. I'll just ask for a bottle every day.
