I think the OP stumbled into here by mistake. He thought he was posting onTrip Advisor or Booking.com

He who smiles when things go wrong has found something else to blame it on.

Wallet lightening.

I have done a volte face on this. When I lived in Pattaya many moons ago I went to bed at 6 am wasted and woke up as the sun set. 40 years on and now I am the same as the OP. Up with the sun while wife feeds monks then short walk with dogs ( cool season only )

Writing a will would be a good idea. There are free downloads available that cover the basics and are written in Thai and English. My wife and I have agreed that should she die before me all the property will go to my son in law and I will keep all the jewelry and gold plus any other assets that can quickly be sold. I would probably stay on in our house for a few months then leave. No point remaining here without her by my side.

I was at that gig with 2 mates. Great night

What could possibly go wrong ?

Can't beat a good cup of tea. Hope you gave her a biscuit to dunk.

Stay safe and keep your head down. Best of luck to you and all your buddies.

How Putin’s long war is destroying the fabric of Russian society https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-long-war-destroying-fabric-140000172.html Russia has a long history with alcoholism. But after the fall of the Soviet Union, drinking was in decline. Now, following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, official figures show alcohol addiction is surging again for the first time in a decade. Vodka sales this year surged to a record high and policymakers are scrambling to halt a rise in alcohol-related deaths. What has changed is the war. Broadly speaking, the country’s economy is holding up. High demand from the army means Russia is close to full employment and although much trade has been sanctioned, the Kremlin has been able to substitute most goods. But underneath all of this, it is becoming increasingly clear that the fabric of Russian society is falling apart. When President Vladimir Putin met with mothers of deceased soldiers in 2022, he told them it was better that their sons died fighting in Ukraine than if they had died from drinking at home.

If he isn't already out of the country he will regret it.

Where did this happen ? Did the victim report it to the police ? Was this caught on any security cameras ? The story is lacking much detail.

In the old days something like this But nowadays something more filling

Unfortunately just got mine on Thursday in Petchabun so missed the offer.

The India mast trees look like this and as stated can make a nice wall of green.

Desertion threatens to starve Ukraine's forces at a crucial time in its war with Russia https://www.yahoo.com/news/desertion-threatens-starve-ukraines-forces-052438561.html KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Desertion is starving the Ukrainian army of desperately needed manpower and crippling its battle plans at a crucial time in its war with Russia, which could put Kyiv at a clear disadvantage in future ceasefire talks. Facing every imaginable shortage, tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops, tired and bereft, have walked away from combat and front-line positions to slide into anonymity, according to soldiers, lawyers and Ukrainian officials. Entire units have abandoned their posts, leaving defensive lines vulnerable and accelerating territorial losses, according to military commanders and soldiers. Some take medical leave and never return, haunted by the traumas of war and demoralized by bleak prospects for victory. Others clash with commanders and refuse to carry out orders, sometimes in the middle of firefights. “This problem is critical,” said Oleksandr Kovalenko, a Kyiv-based military analyst. “This is the third year of war, and this problem will only grow.”

Putins bus don't forget and he is the driver. The many dead definitely won't haunt Putin.

Kellog should stick to making cornflakes. With Russias economy in dire straights Ukraine would never agree to such a plan. Gives Russia way too much.

Russian central bank takes desperate stand to halt collapsing ruble and fierce inflation https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/russian-central-bank-takes-desperate-153347276.html In a bid to stave off red-hot inflation, Russia's central bank halted all foreign currency purchases for the remainder of the year, while actively selling Chinese yuan, in hopes of propping up the ruble. The ruble—currently worth a fraction of a penny—hit lows on Wednesday not seen since the start of the Ukraine war.

But she might answer with : Sorry , I don't wash other people's smalls.

The first one looks perfect. Without looking at the specs I can see only 1 horsepower so very economical. Plus I can get free fodder and later sell the poo. Win win.

In this heat , with wife on back ? Pass. I should have clarified. Horse and trap with minimum 2 seats , roof and air con. My bad.

Can you recommend a good horse and trap dealer ?

No problem. Just show the Palestinian flag on Monday and Wednesday, the star of David on Tuesday and Thursday , a Ukrainian flag on Fridays, Taiwanese flag on Saturdays then all take the knee on Sundays. Everybody happy .
