Better weather today?

 I hope so

🙏🙏🙏

Bad weather coming?

Warning ⚠️ 

Doesn’t look like bad weather according too the report

However no ☀️

I had Plans for today’s ☀️

 Yupp, it rained away … my plans I mean!

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Finally Rain Came ☔️

 So I need the rain as I wanted to wash my truck?!

Yes, because the water from the hose will leave stains, so I only wash my car when it’s raining  

😵😵😵

The rain water will rinse away the water feom the house 

Car wasn’t specifically dirty however I wanted and have time today… and it’s the right weather 

👍👍👍

😵‍💫 it’s been one of those days

 From about 9am to 2pm infront of the computer screen editing videos and creating thumbnails 

🎬🎬🎬

Yupp, keeping me busy!

It’s great to have a hobby that you love and want to get better at.

👍💪🙏

👍👍👍

Just because I can 🥰

 Cozy wake up fire 🔥 

I have already (7am) been to Laundromat to do some laundry. 

Now coffee and relax 1 hour before laundry pick up 

☕️☕️☕️

‘Kompis’ joined me!

😊😊😊

Aaaaand typical Thai weather … it should NOT be any rain the whole day. No rain = Laundry time

🤨🤨🤨

New Mall in Krabi 🥰

 Finally great shopping in Krabi, it’s been so bad before and now for example, a big Supersports is here, Powerbuy have all electronics you need … almost and other shops and food

- Hey, smile grumpy old man!

😂😂😂

I become a dumpling lover, “gott skit!” 

😄😄😄

Worst parking ever … so tight. 

😵😵😵

If you have a small car then no problem, my truck is not wide, rather it’s long. Look at the cars, all of them have backed in to their spot, it’s the the easiest way. 

Of course it is chaos due to newly open mall

😀😀😀

It will get better as sson as they open the second traffic lane

As of now it’s one way lane only

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Having a House is a Savior

 and a cat helps as well !

There’s always something to do with a house and garden. That’s a good thing!

😁😁😁

I mean, let’s say you rent an apartment here and being retired… you got too much time, the walls will close in on you and you will feel trapped. Because… you can not do much, rather than the same same and same again in an apartment 

😵‍💫😵😵‍💫

You have to, literally, FORCE yourself to GO out, LEAVE the apartment and do stuff. 

That’s why, I think, so many retired old farts, are grumpy, drink too much or actually go back, to their home country because they are miserable.

“Paradise” is NOT as expected!

😇😇😇

I felt a bit trapped in my old “house”, at least I could sit outside, however not so much more than that, cut a small area of grass, wash the car. Having ‘Blackie’ the young cat was a savior.

Anyways, I cut some plants and replanted them. I also replanted some other plants. 

Yupp, keeping busy and enjoying it

😄😊😄

This plant is a replant, now I cut 3 branches of it and replanted those 👍

3 plants already growing here by them selves, I replanted 4 more. Snail shells, I did paint white, a long time ago

Cut the busch

Cut the tree branches 

Cut the clinging plants by the fence 

👍👍👍

Update:

Having a car during wet season is a must, it changes everything. 👍

Weather is Changing?

 Colder nights and days however still rainy?!

The end of rainy season is coming. 

👍👍👍

I plock leafs almost every day. 

😮😮😮

More Grass cutting 💪

 Time for the outside the fence area to be cut.

Perfect weather to do some handyman work… sure no sunshine however humid as hell.

🥵💪😂

I topped off my neighbors grass as well, he seems to less home, I guess having some property is hard work !?

Anyways, I hope he appreciates it!

🙏👍😁

Scooter Insurance and Tax

 So it’s time for my third year of using my Yamaha Aerox 155. This time I did it all by myself at Department of Land and Transport

A bit confusing, however I manage it under 30 minutes from arriving 

👍👍👍

Step 1: get/pay mandatory insurance 647 thb

Step 2: get a queue number 

✅Green book - owner proof
✅Insurance - mandatory 
✅Queue number - needed 

Step 3: wait a couple of minutes for your turn

Step 4: go to your called counter number, show your greenbook and insurance. Pay tax, 100 thb, to get the tax document. 

Step 5: go home, relax and continue to enjoy life

🥰🙏🥰

Grass cut and …

 I cut my grass with brush trimmer and I am getting professional at it

💪💪💪

Complete overkill machine at first however now I am PRO. 

😎😎😎

I also cut the community road sides as well and raked it, looks great again. 

I cut from the main road to the gate, my house is to the right  before the palm tree. 

👍👍👍

Update:

The gate was completely closed this morning, I have never seen it before… one year I lived here 😮

I am so Cool 😎

 Haha 😂 

Doesn’t look so comfy and it’s actually not the first time she lays in a weird way on the planks 

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
