Went into phetchabun to get me a driving licence,
1 hour later, have my first Thai licence, new style, colour, with English/Thai language.
Very easy to get.
Went down to the farm and sacked 2 staff!
Tomorrow i'm to town again to get me a yellow house book, farang tabien bahn.
What a day!
Hope I have done right by sacking 2 staff, I have given them enough warning regarding cleanliness and keeping the place tidy.
I upset a few people today, let's see what tomorrow brings.
Leo time, cheers.

Was one of those you sacked named something pants? by the way he's been nicking your Garlic and flogging it

Weather 21c cloudy.
Got up\ 06.30am.
A few cornflakes later off to the Amphur to get a yellow book.
I get there and the lady who deals with it is in a meeting,
so we wait and wait and wait 2 hoiurs later she appears and says I cannot do it today come back friday... ok no problem ,
Mot asks her if she would check all our paperwork and photocopies now, to make sure everything is in order.
No problem checks the marriage certificate amongst others and asks if I have the affirmation of freedom to marry doc!!!.... Mmmm I have a marriage certificate so why do you need that...... Don't know ... never mind come back friday.
TIT.
Lets see what friday brings.
Didn't do to much other than that today.
Anyway it's Leo time.
cheers

Weather 29c cloudy all day.
had a skinfull last night, got up at about 10.30.
Quick shower and off for a yellow house book.
2.5 hours later and the application has been submitted.
Got to phone them next friday to see if it is ready for me to pick up.

On the way to town we took all the used plastic water bottles, and empty beer bottles to the recycle place and picked up 374 baht. Why don't they do it like that in England?
Any way so I should have a yellow tabien Bahn, question is, What is the benefit of having it?
Nipped down the farm, fed the fish, checked my chickens,
and now lazing with a Leo.
Cheers

IIRC it's only about 3 baht/kg for glass. Must be some serious Leo you're getting through!

Done burp!

Ok yesterday I went fishing all day, while Mot, sister in law and Mot's mam was busy cutting the weeds down from the perimiter fence, Oh I wish I had a work permit
Caught a million Pla nin, and pla duk, some of which we kept and they ate later.(You see at least I got them their lunch).
Mervyn came a bit later with a new rod and pole cost him about 300 baht all in. Mind he his rubbish at fishing... like a girl, "Bryn Bryn, get this off the hook for us, I am a wus"
Came home had a few leo's and a shower, rang my Thai mate up , asked what he was up to, He said He was going to a party , another bloke has died in thew village,(It amazes me how many die here) So he comes round picks me up and off we go.
A few whiskies later, and all the village women looking and whispering(Got used to that over the years), time to play HI/LO,which by the way is only legal to do at the event of a party for the deceased, anyway I gave my mate 200 baht, and told him the profit we split, 1 hour later, money gone, still don't know how to play the game... anyone?
Anyway just got up and been informed that someone else died, so I have another party to go tonight.
Today its a bit cloudy, and I am slighty hung over, I think I am going have an easy day for a change and do nothing.
Coffee in one hand,bacon sarnie in the other,fags lined up, about to lay on the settee, all day, and annoy you lot.
Cheers.

pic of Me, Mervyn, and my mate from UK, down the farm.
********* Just been informed that there is a bit more cutting and cleaning req,d on farm,Suppose I had better, do a bit.
Ah well, I'll annoy you lot later.

My Rottweiler having a dip in our lake.

Well had a busy day, I actually got off my bum, and did a bit,
Got loads of dead wood , and other things laying abot the farm and had a big fire.(I sn't it great having a bonfire, I love it, the kid still in me)
Anyways then I cut some grass, quite a lot, using my Honda 4 stroke, metal bladed weed whacker, they aren't dangerous are they?

Soon after did a bit more fishing, no Mervyn though (relief)
Jut having a few Leo's whilst I wonder what time the tractor turns up tomorrow, for a bit more ploughing.
Cheers
PS Just wathing FA cup,sheff utd and M,boro, and then the next game is Preston.....who T.F is Preston?
anyway, Lifes great.
Cheers

Did you take the Rottie with you or did you get him over there?

If I may be cheeky, and you bought him there, how much did you pay?

I am planning on getting a dog in the future (undecided GS or Rottie) so would grateful for a bit of info.

Don't laff.... but, no I daren't tell ya, you'll kill yourself laffin.

Lucky Here is a link for you.

Actually, she came from a member of the family, who has a house in BKK, problem was there wasn't enough land for her to roam about, so I sort of inherited her and her name.
She has a great temprement, and keeps unwanted people off the farm,people *** themselves when they see her for the first time. She looks proper hard, but really she proper soft, always swimming in the lake.

Weather is hot and sunny, starting to warm up now, I think the cool season has about finished.
Off down the farm in a min, see if the tractor is ploughing the right bits, nothing can be left to chance here, and I mean nothing.
Probably do a bit of fishing as well. Killed a snake yesterday, the dog kept barking at it, don't know what type it was, but it's dead now. And before all you Steve Irwin lovers shoot me down, Snakes are dangerous, No place for them around 12,000 chickens or me, Mot's kids, or visitors. Killed with a 20 foot pole by whacking it on the head.
I killed a cobra not so long ago, and a snake with a red head, both dangerous.
Anyway people, I'm off to do a bit, see you later
