    I tried Chef Baz’s carrot purée (1 kid loved it, 1 hated it).

    half a fillet of chicken for me cos for some weird reason the missus bought 3, not 4.

    plus salad

    I did do a fair bit of reading around today (beat working), and the alcohol prohibition seems pretty tight.

    Sorry Mendip, looks like a few days dry (bet you wished you had taken my advice to put something in your checked in bag!).

    Recent news reports and posts on here have reminded me just what a progressive and fair-minded country the Land of Stares is.

    Wife made a Cheece Cake last night . to die for. She got the recipe on YouTube (burned Cheesecake) and was easy to make. I cant believe I have been spending soo much money for store bought Cheesecake all these years. And hers was sooo much better.
    next time we will put either pineapple or cherries in top,
    PS: The salad TheRealKW posted above looked real good and inspired me, I think I will have one for lunch today.

    ^ Thank you JP... and good morning to you!

    I'm just just sipping on my morning tea made from a twice-used tea bag...

    ... while thinking about my BMI... I have a lot of posts to respond to!

    morning root + 1 coffee done.
    1 more coffee with scrambled eggs and bacon. 2 hour bike ride at 9am.
    Coconut oil chicken breast and veg for lunch.
    Home gym. Triceps, delts, pecs, abs.
    Kidney bean and chicken masala for dinner
    Walk and bit of football in the park in the evening.


    Damn nice routine.


    BTW that 2018 Das Boot series is worth watching. Almost finished the first of 2 seasons. Give it a go if ya run out of things to watch between the quarantine exercise sessions.

    Great. I rode my bike to get my Iced Cappuccino today and then came back and surveyed the pool. Going to vacuum it shortly. One thing I am finding is a descent amount of burned leaves pieces in the bottom. I have a neighbor that due to the 12 to 13c nights and morning sits by a big pile of yard clippings burning them to stay warm. Unfortunately some of that drifts my way. No big deal. I like vacuuming the pool. Good activity outside in the morning.

    What's on the Agenda for today?

    Funny you ask that JP... I've had a busy morning.

    As I mentioned, at my 5 Day point yesterday I had an excursion downstairs for my PCR test.

    I thought I'd make an effort... and it was then I realised that I hadn't changed my underwear since I arrived last Friday. These quarantine would make an interesting social experiment. It's amazing how quickly the hygiene goes within such a short time. I'm normally quite fastidious.

    Anyway, after hunting around for a clean pair of boxers I realised that I was down to my last... so first thing today I washed all my smalls in shampoo in the bathroom sink. That filled half an hour or so.

    This was followed by 30 minutes of exercises... yes, you heard correctly... and then a few emails. I was planning on doing a load of tax stuff today but won't have time so that can wait until tomorrow.

    Another thing I've been doing... I'm quite a keen twitcher and when I sit on the balcony the sound is alive with birdsong, so I've set my self a target of seeing 10 species before the quarantine is out. This is something I do with my daughter on holidays (we have a great time together!) and helps to pass the time when confined. I'm up to 5 species already and even heard a Greater Coucal calling this morning... I just saw it but didn't get a pic.

    This is my view from the balcony... amazing how much wildlife is out there in the outskirts of Bangkok, just near Hua Mak train station. And incidentally, if anyone is considering going through this quarantine I would really strongly recommend getting a room with a balcony. This would be a real struggle for me without.



    Oh... and I just got my Covid test result. Negative! I think this means I'm allowed out for an hour a day starting tomorrow. Another hurdle crossed.



    It's really starting to feel that this commute, and thankfully this thread also, will eventually come to an end.

    The final leg... so near yet so far! Although I reckon walking it in 2 days would be going some... it's all uphill.

    Totally! Very sound advice.

    No... but her Werther's Original took a hit last night. Thankfully I can replace them at 7-Eleven.

    I'm really hoping that I don't stoop low enough to nail her sour chewy sweets. She loves them and a lot of these will be hard to replace!



    And while we're on the subject of food... there's too many posts to individually address and thank the posters, but can I just say how grateful I am to all those posting pics of their delicious food to keep my spirits up. If ever any of you guys have to go through quarantine I really hope to return the favour. I think KW, HW, Edmond, Dill, Joe 90 and BB deserve special thanks (sorry if I missed anyone).

    PAG... thanks for the tip on tea bags. I cam with a small bag of PG Tips that I found in the office in Gothenburg and am now using each one twice. I think it's probably too late to get any sent to the ASQ so will probably have to go on to Lipton's for my last few days. Yes... things are getting bad.

    And Nid... everything is easy with hindsight. Yeah, I wish I'd stashed bottle in my hold luggage now... but had I been scanned at customs I'd have been looking at a 30,000 Baht fine for exceeding the allowance, and having that bottle and my duty free confiscated.

    And on the exercise front... never did I think that posting a pic of a home gym would set of so much discussion.

    I have now had two different apps suggest that I may be 'obese' and I have to start accepting this may be true.

    I guess basically I need less calories to go in and to get more active. I think that cutting out the evening Leos will be the biggest single change to make in terms of results.

    Last night I sat on my balcony with the pigeon and just had a cup of tea. It felt weird, but it is possible. I'll be trying it again tonight.

    It reminds me of when I stopped smoking nearly 18 years ago... I couldn't go near a bar for the first few months as it felt so weird to sit at a bar with a pint but no cigarette. But that was possible as well... I just need to get my head around this.

    I think that my time at home is very different to some others on here... my daughter's school is 20km from home... with Korat city centre between. This can mean easily 45 minutes each way... twice a day... so up to 3 hours a day stuck in traffic. I won't be cycling with my daughter through Korat rush hours , mainly in the interest of just staying alive. Also we'd have to leave home at 4am.

    But in case that sounds like an 'excuse' it isn't... I'll just fit things around my busy daily schedule. This I can do. I'm always active and in the garden doing jobs but that doesn't compensate for some good aerobic exercise and I'm on to that. I'll fir it in every day.

    And bollox to it... I'm getting the gym as well!
