Fire Friday to end March

-

 Yep, Friday was the last day of the month and as reported on other posts, the north of SE Asia is being ravaged by a firestorm blanketing the whole area in toxic fumes.

Ignoring the advice to stay indoors I stuck on my mask and went shopping in the morning. An essential shop. My stock of dark roast arabica was ending and that just wouldn't do.

Off I popped into the city: -


Did you spot I went to a different coffee place for a brew?
Well I did as our normal Pantip place was closed for the day. The coffee was nice and flavoursome but a little pricey. Well that was may opinion.
Back home and some confusion about housekeeping, anyone would think I deliberately shortchanged the Mrs... 😈.
After a wash and brush up it was time to go for a wander to Moment & Wine who were having a party for their 2nd anniversary.
I do intend to try and vlog this but for the blog here is, as usual the Relive 
And a few snaps arranged as a slideshow 
Coffee.

Olympus Oldies Diary

November 2023 and a small bunch of retired Olympus UK oldies got together for bike rides, MotoGP and a trip to Vietnam. So I hastily put together some snaps to make a slide diary. Unfortunately my slideshow app kept crashing and simply would not produce the normal 4K video so here it is at FHD. Which, as it has taken all day to get it done is probably as good as this will be, at least until I know what is going wrong.

A bit of an update

 Greetings all It has been a busy time here in the Trinder household. Our friends Steve and Izzy are here, it’s great to see then after the Covid enforced travel ban so here are a few snapshots of the stuff we have been up to. Christmas dinner at O.M.G A wander around the 700-year park A wine or two at Moment and Wine A walk by Mae Kuang Dam where the water is still so high the lower road is under and no longer accessible. Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden Mon Jam And the Stinky Canal. All of this has been wonderful but for Pin and I it is clouded by our Satang being seriously ill and needing an operation. The good news is she looks to be healing well and today, fingers crossed, she can come back home and we can be a family again.

Olympus Oldies, the Pattaya Ride

 Only a month after the event, it is a good job I am not paid as a reporter. Anyway, with a November scheduled to a bunch of oldies that once worked for Olympus, when Olympus was Olympus that is, setting out to take South East Asia by storm (more a gentle breeze) the world needs to know that later life can be fun, an awful lot of fun. The drawback does include getting stuff wrong, like deleting the bikes onboard video before checking it had been transferred😖 so on this particular video you have to make do with the Relive trace. No way do I, or am I anything like the talented friends from Olympus and elsewhere when it comes to artistic prowess but it is good to be able to bring the viewing public down to earth now and again. Coffee.
