At 61.2ms which I believe is milliseconds, my Ping is to high apparently, this is supposedly why I am getting a lot of buffering with my television, I know my broadband is decent (avg 659mbps) so I hope a new Cat6 Ethernet cable will be the solution 🤞🏼

61ms ping now 51ms ping Apparently that is better, let’s hope so (will know as soon as we settle down for the evening)

Tell you what I’d love to find,a gated community/ condo with a good gym,one that has quiet periods where both myself and MrsG could visit and have a fair workout appropriate for our age and condition,happy to pay a fair price for the opportunity of course.Alas,unlikely to happen

As we retire to the comfort of our bed, our thoughts are with those in Jamaica who are facing what may prove to be the worst category storm in many many years Hope everyone affected is kept safe, buildings can be replaced, towns rebuild but lives are far more precious 🙁

Not eaten all day, had a coffee around 1pm so decided to treat ourselves to a supposedly decent restaurant in a decent local hotel (to try it out) And was served a burnt pizza 🤷🏻‍♂️ No, I won’t mention its name but we won’t be back, that’s for sure

How the pompous and arrogant mighty have fallen Andy aka Andrew Former HRH

Last couple of weeks have been very cloudy with occasional heavy showers and periods of sunshine, very breezy, it’s 28°c with high humidity but ooooh, loving this Thai Winter

Getting a heck of a lot of rain at the moment, localised flooding (to be expected) and this is forecast on and off for the next few days, could be worse, would hate to be clearing snow in this heat

Lesson to all, I took this still photo of my furry four legged daughter and asked Grok to animate her, this is its result and I must say, rather impressive, AI certainly has huge potential (and a few risks of course) looking forward to see how it develops over the coming years

Ooh hello new followers, same rule as last time, if you are real, please say hi, fancy a follow back,melt me know oh and if you are anything other than real, please sit quietly at the back and watch 😀😏

I am not a fan of Facebook but I guess it has its uses I have it,my children demanded that I had it and insist I continue with it and I do occasionally look at it (never post) What annoys me is I cannot block fake/ false sites that spew fake and often controversial stories

I love a decent coffee but it has to be decaf,decaf coffee in Thailand is rare unless u drink at the major international coffee shops,The Coffee Club being 1 example,that typically comes at a price,download the Coffee Club app and start saving. Just paid 185 baht for 2 coffees

I think I fancy a few drinks tomorrow afternoon,you know me and MrsG,nothing heavy,a few pints of Guinness or a couple or 3 cocktails But then I also think,if I do that,when I get home,I’ll want to spend the rest of the evening asleep 🙄 Heck getting old sucks n I ain’t old🥴

Sat here under a storm warning, looking towards Bangkok (90 miles away as the crow flies) and I can see massive Cumulonimbus clouds, there is the remnants of a typhoon currently entering Thailand and that is the cause Me thinks an alternative plan for later might be a good idea

🥵 Indian 🥵Madras Curry 🚒🚒🚒🚑 Oooh, that was hot, nice, but wow, you can tell Thais love spicy food

Saddened to hear of the passing of Quentin Willson the former Top Gear presenter And my heart goes out to Davina McCall who recently revealed she underwent breast cancer surgery a few weeks ago,if I believed in luck,I would send her a container ship full of it

I class myself as reasonably educated,I do not follow conspiracy theories as such,I might keep my mouth shut at times but I do keep my eyes & ears open and this kinda proves the point for the UK BBC's director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness resignation

I’m wanting to eat healthily today so we have home made broccoli and Stilton soup for lunch followed by what will be a home made chicken massaman curry for tea So went shopping to get what I needed and found these on buy 1 get 1 free, oh well, so much for healthier 😋

Alas, no, I cannot read Thai and sadly, since my brain bleed it is unlikely that I will ever be able to learn, fortunately when circumstances demand a translation, there are Apps available that can translate, Google Translate being one such excellent example.

Oh fantastic,finally found decent expat convenience store (12 mins away) It has taken us 4 months to find one.Finally found somewhere that sells European items at fair prices,huge selection of cheeses,heck even Angels Delight and clotted cream and as for the warm sausage rolls 😜
