Weather today dull,overcast about 20c

Got up 7.30 am, went to the farm 9am, organised staff to tighten up security on the gates regarding wagons entering and leaving the farm (bird flu good practice)

Did a spot of fishing for a bit at my lake, Fishing away happily and MIL shouts "Bin Bin yoo bahn, Ipstar liew liew"

Go home watch them set it up, bacon sarnie and a pot of tea.
Internet all day.
Gonna play darts in a bit, got a 180 twice the other day.

Just getting dark and the Leo beer is coming out.

Slow down mate, your overdoing things!

You've been spending too much time with Mac!

No doubt we'll have an update on the next challenge-what bait to use maybe or the relative merits of drinking from te bottle of from a glass with ice.

Actually you're right, He has been stopping with us since early Jan.

Weather today hot and sunny,(Don't know temp but warm enough}
Just got up,Debating wether to nip over to the farm and start pulling 2 tons of garlic out the ground.......No I won't I have no work permit great eh Oh well I will have to pay someone 150 baht to do it and chill out all day

well done with the darts there bryn.... i was beaten hands down at work last week by ray. 120 was my highest score and i think i managed a 96 checkout which was a fluke. i need more practice.

Well I better finish yesterdays off before starting on todays.
Went down the farm and Mervyn turned up with his wife, they had ordered 100 kilo of garlic from us ...so as the ladies picked it me and Merv did a bit more fishing.

Today weather hot ,temp not sure but hot!!

Going down the farm in a minute, Got to make sure that the rest of the garlic is pulled out dealers coming to pick it up tonight and tomorrow night got about 2 ton of the stuff to come out.
Chillies waiting to go in as soon as garllic is out

Off to Pattaya on thursday for 3 nights see some friends.

well went down the farm, picked loads of garlic, just dropped 220 kilo off with the village folk and got a whopping 2000 baht!! Then I got a bit too much sun so I retired to the shade of my fav bananna tree for a spot more fishing.
Had the Vet out to check on the chickens as the normal death rate is about 10 a day for 40 days, We suspected something wrong when we have lost 500 in a week
Anyway vet disected one or two (dead ones) to be told that it is a a flu, that originated at the farm that produces the chicks not bird flu ...just a common cold that affects birds when very young.
But also he noted that I have to update a few things basically I have to spend some money and achieve better practices. I have been saying this since september but when a thai vet tells a thai it gets done... when i say we need to have better than average standards then nowt happens... TIT.
Anyway people have a great day

Bryn,can we change your monniker beneath your name from "Won't shut up" to "Hen-pecked Bryn,the Garlic King"

Thought about taking your garlic down to soi Bhuakow in Pattaya when you go and selling on the market there?

Yes your right mate

Bryn,
I'll take you up on the invite and pop up and see you towards the end of the year/early next year. I'm looking forward to having a fish in that lake of yours.

Great stuff mate.
I have tried many ways to catch the fish and many baits.
Was thinking about scotch taping a worm to the hook any thoughts?

Weather hot. Very hot
Just got up... had 4 leos last night, God I'm hard...big un's as well!!
Brother in law is out taking some more Garlic to the locals, dealers coming for the rest tonight
Not gonna do to much today apart from a 500 kilo drive down to Patts.
Don't think I will be online until Sunday morning UK time.
Have a good weekend fellas

PS
The most frustrating part of living here is communicating exactly what needs to be done and making sure that it is done.
Doesn't apply to people who don't have a business to take care of.

I'm sure it'll satisfy Mark.

Just got back from a 3 day break to Patts.
It's hard work that drinking game.....We took some kids with us, and they had a ball.
Went to the Underwater world at Pattaya, worth a visit if you have kids, passes an hour or so on.
Pattaya park is a great day out for the kids, they loved it, I would give it a 10 out of 10 for entertainment, and only 100 baht to get in.
Oh its a 5 hour drive from our bahn to Patts and i'm tired, nothing to do with the getting in at 4 am ish every morning

Bryn,
You should have stayed for a few more days as your old mucker is heading that way today.

yes I know mate,
We had to vacate his condo this morning

Bryn,
Have you paid up that 1 kilo of sausage yet for losing that bet? Just wondering if the bulldog has come to his senses yet or has he still completely lost his marbles?
