The Joy and Annoy

Having a house and garden is both enjoying and annoying... isn't it?!

🤓😵‍💫🥰

Dead and alive palm tree branches needed to be cut ✂️

The backside tree needed a cutting ✂️ 

I did a real hard cut, branches hanging over the roof and scraping it in the wind making noises 

👍👍👍

I would not trade this for an apartment, where perhaps the only enjoyment is a balcony. I mean, in retirement, the walls would creep in on you. As mentioned before, in other posts, this is why retirees go back home, sitting alone in an apartment, having nothing to do, drinking alcohol. 

Cheers to life in a garden!

A/C Repair

 As it so hot nowadays, I tried the old ac again and it worked a bit and it was so nice with some coiler air. 

👍😃👍

The ac have never work well and I have never been in need to use it ... until now. 

So I contacted the landlord to fix it. And she said repair man will come within one hour

😯😯😯

Perfect!

I prepared the area for easy access to the ac

I had hoped that he would only clean it out and change the air filter ... no, he removed the electric motor and some other thing, don't know what it was, and he will be back in 2-3 days. 

👍👍👍

I can wait, I haven't used the ac in over a year so no problem for me

Poor little thing 🦎💀

 A gecko got stuck in some tape/glue, it's so hot in the car that the tape/glue just melts and loosen the product. 

My extra electrical outlets 

😵😵😵

A small Thing Turns into an Event

 I though about this a couple of times… any normal daily thing done in Western countries, turns into an event when you’re Retired and live in Thailand. 

🧐🫤😱

• Shopping for groceries 
• Fill up the car with gas
• Go have an ice-coffee
• Go to the market 
• …

.. and the funny thing is, you only need to do one thing per day and you feel fulfilled and satisfied. 

😁😁😁

Anyways, I did 3 things yesterday 

👏👏👏

Wow, only 285 thb for an exchange of the gas cylinder, 81sek

😲😲😲

This is a 7kg and a 6kg in Sweden costs 499 sek

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

1. Gas for the truck
2. Exchanged the cooking gas
3. Grocery shopping 

So nice to be Retired and free

😊😊😊

Second Mouse Trapped

 Next fakker got trapped in the old cage.

Forgot to take picture of the fat big mouse that woke me up 3 times this night.

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

A thin iron rod thru it's neck and it moved on to the next life 

☠️☠️☠️

Unfortunately I saw a rat running away so the war has not ended. Today I will go and buy some mouse traps and strategically put them around the house

💀💀💀

Old Trap Works Well

 I found an old mouse trap in the attic. It does it’s job well. 

Early evening the first one got trapped, I guess cat food is gourmet for mice as well

Small one however it made loud noises in/with the cage. 

Old lady Kompis got playful 

😀😀😀

Removed the mice so it would not smell in the attic, really tuff to remove… some sticky shit

👍👍👍

I am Winning the War

 Im already a winner 🥇 

2 fakkers got trapped on the new glue plate. 

I was up there to smack them to the next life however they moved the whole plate to far away. As they are two now maybe more will come and check out the fuzz?!

😁😁😁

The problem is that the big one makes some noice when trying to escape… I hope the rat gets tired and stops before I try to sleep

👍😂👍
