    A trendy word is all, there is a lot of joshing on here which goes over some peoples heads and leads to too much partisan commentary on here it seems. imho. Its only breakfast....

    I know I don't like chillies for breakfast and I like my steak well done that's what I know.
    And it seems that you have a good memory about my taste regarding steak.

    Morning Mendy. Happy Monday. Pretend like this is a work week and Friday you are off on vacation.

    What's on the agenda for today?

    Morning JP... it's funny you should ask.

    Yesterday was Aussie tax stuff... the tax year doesn't finish until the end of June but I set up the spreadsheet and got everything's up to date.

    This brings me to a daily moan, which very soon I'll be putting in the correct thread, once this one has been retired.

    I rent out an apartment in Perth and the current tenant has stopped paying rent. He says that he's finding work difficult with Covid... and the agents have told me that there are emergency Covid measures that protects tenants from eviction. Meanwhile I'm left paying the astafukkinomical strata fees (management fees in the UK) and other expenses. I don't want to sound heartless but no-one covers my mortgage etc during Covid... I had to travel to the other side of the world to find work. I've been through this before in the UK and it ended up costing thousands, lost rent, solicitors fees, etc etc. Wankers.

    Anyway, rant over... today is UK tax stuff... the tax year ends in April so I can almost get this one completed.

    Tomorrow is company accounts and some Norwegian tax stuff.

    I've settled into a routine of getting some shit done in the mornings and then taking it easy in the afternoons. Being stuck in ASQ is a good opportunity to get a lot of admin sorted so I can forget about it at home.

    I also watched the first two Godfathers yesterday... haven't done that for years. I'll finish the trilogy today so that's another 3 hours odd taken care of.

    The time is flying... I might need a couple of extra days.

    Nice looking bar Iceman!

    It's hard for me to advise now that I'm teetotal, but back in my drinking days I would probably have gone for The Beer Lao.

    And it's not often I'd agree with anything Edmond says!

    There's loads you can be claiming because of Covid.

    I know people who have gotten rich out of covid.

    Good morning, Mendip.

    Another bright and sunny day out on the balcony.

    I did another 2 dry days. Mainly because I leapt off the wagon on Friday and wasted Saturday wandering around feeling crap. Which is very rare for me, I don't drink to excess usually although I do enjoy a beverage most days and probably drink more than one should in a week. Anyway, I did 2 days. You only have to do 2 more days, then another 2. You are on the downhill slope now.

    My wife just finished our Thai Taxes. Typical, paid a lot in, get very little back but the best thing is being 100% debt free. So it is what it is. Pay up and done! I jettisoned all my US assets as it was a pain in the ass to manage and in the end the write offs never equaled the headache of having to manage them. I still have to file a few US tax forms as you can never move far enough away from the US where they do not want to know how much you have in what bank accts around the world.

    The Dove cote comment is a worry, is Mendip planning kidnap. I'd check Thai wildlife regs Mendip before you commit to a course of action which could see you spend more time locked up with worse food, no balcony and friends closer than the gardener.

    Is the agent following the rules? Have a night in tonight and read the info just to make sure.

    ^ Iceman, that's great thanks. I've had some spare time today and have had a good read.

    The agents seem to be on to this and all parties appear to be trying to sort it out. I do have sympathy if it's genuine but past experience has shown that once things start to go awry with a tenant it rarely gets good again. The main problem is the huge strata fees, which sadly are my responsibility regardless of the rental situation. Anyway, things are looking vaguely optimistic.


    ^^ Strigils... the dove cote has been in my mind for a long time but my friendly zebra dove has motivated me to get on with it. It's more likely to end up as a pigeon cote, but worth a try.

    It will have to join the queue behind less enjoyable jobs... I'd forgotten that the pond will need all the sludge pumping out which takes priority. I can barely believe it was almost a year ago when we lost all those fish to the algal bloom. I'll also need to get a truck load of soil to replace the sour soil in the chicken run... I do that once a year.

    The more I think about it, the more I'm tempted for an extra week in quarantine. I fancy re-watching Breaking Bad next week.

    All I need to do is a quick stir of the thermometer in my cup of tea before sending the temperature pic off to Miss Nurse. That worked well with me mum many years ago when I wanted a day off school!

    or it could backfire badly... imagine being whisked out of hotel quarantine and stuck in ICU while they inject bleach into your arse
