    Who said they were re-infected ? 
    The odds of catching the virus  if vaccinated is equal to those unvaccinated. 

    Sorry, I meant infected. 

     

    But your second sentence is just crazy talk. 

    I'm perfectly willing to be corrected, but I was under the impression you can 'catch the virus if vaccinated', but it just won't affect you.

    I'd assume (dangerous, I know) that a vaccinated person could therefore pass on the virus to others too?

    Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said Thailand would try to secure more vaccines, on top of existing orders of about 65 million.

     

    "Our current target is for 100 million doses of vaccines, but Thailand should have 150 million doses or more," he posted on his Facebook page on Saturday.

    Is he going to be praying for more vaccine too?

     

    "Prayuth’s government is promoting a prayer session at Buddhist temples and online on May 11, in the stated hope that it bring people peace of mind and help them get through the coronavirus crisis together."

    Your third paragraph.  I get a lot of that but it can be fun.  ' Where you flom ?'

    " That house over there through the trees "  

    ' No no where you flom before ?'

    " Oh before ...I lived in Hua Hin "      and so on.

    I did get once " I am from England "  then came ' Is that the UK or GB ?'

    To which the answer is, "Yes."

    Half right Bluesofa.

     

    Not actually climbing poles, but upsetting the natural balance of the village. Dogs would run here and there. Cats would scatter and sit on top of the meters. The catchers would charge after the dogs with their nets; half crazed on Lao Khow. The result would be meters falling from the posts.

     

    There is a leccy post near me that has all the meters off the post. The lady 'Nang' told me she reported the fallen meter boxes 4 years ago. I'll take a pic and post it this afternoon.

    Your village is full of hi-powered cats then.

    I've never been aware of dog catchers near us. There again I'm not aware of much unless it's tech related.

    I wait for a photo - especially if there's an electric meter involved.

     

    'The lady 'Nang' told me she reported the fallen meter boxes 4 years ago.'

    Proves the meter reader doesn't give a flock about it either. If it's working, don't repair it.

    Mrs F takes care of all the 'dispatching', don't have the intestinal fortitude for it.

     

    Had a few Lobsters - live one's, the Christmas before last. Had to walk away when I saw the pot of boiling water. ???? 

    Makes it sound like a suspense film: In a lobster cooking pot nobody can hear you scream...

    Owl Log - 08-05-2021 - Saturday morning

     

    {snipped}

    Bluesofa recommended that I get this box sorted last year when it first began to give problems. Should have done what he suggested: phone the PEA hot-line.

    I was going to get to it. Then came a period of normality, and as it's easy to do, forgot about it.

    Called the PEA at nine in the morning. "Mrs Owl, tell them the box is hanging off. Then they will come quick." No show six hours later. "Mrs Owl tell them the whole village is going up in flames." At five in the evening the Mrs got the village handy man out. He snipped here and taped there. We soon had the fans going again.

     

    PEA emergency team arrived the following afternoon. They had a good look and left; obviously happy with the repair. But not before telling Mrs Owl what had happened. "What they say teerak?"

    "They say electric meters; not to let cat climb."

    "OK, teerak, thank them. It must have been that big tom-cat down the road. I'll go tell him."

    I know we live just outside the ring road, not far from Udon city. However, when I've reported something the PEA need to come out to check, it's within one, no more than two hours.

     

    There must surely be a PEA depot/centre nearer to you than Udon, but nearly two days to show up seems quite a stretch?

    Is Mrs Owl using her best diplomatic approach?

     

    Or perhaps they're in awe of me (or just a ferang troublemaker), as we've had 90 power outages in eight years, and I've had to call them probably 75 times if the power is off for more than half an hour.
