As promised, another entry following up :)

Here in Thailand, the coronavirus situation isn’t the worst, but neither is it the best of both worlds.
According to my latest-read news sources, there are 1,245 recorded cases and 6 deaths. Personally, I’d say that the situation where I live isn’t disastrous. We don’t appear to have the classic shortage of toilet paper, but I am however starting to notice a sudden decrease in eggs. Oh well, gotta counterbalance somehow.

This weekend, the residents of Pattaya are strongly recommended to stay on quarantine, otherwise the government seems to be threatening a lockdown. It’s currently just ticked into the early afternoon, and well, what can I say? So far so good. I’ve slashed down the time by studying and reading blogs. My mum and brother had a sudden urge to make cookies, so it looks like I’ve found my next activity for today.

I hope the rest of you are holding on okay. From what I’ve read, it looks like we’re having it easy here. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay hopeful.

The essential situation

Welcome back)). In this entry I want to get through a few different things, so that I have the chance to drop the topic of the coronavirus for the next few posts. The reason for that being because I’m sure that everyone’s starting to get frustrated about the fact that all that’s currently being discussed in detail is the virus. I, for one, most definitely am. Alright then, let’s start our way through). What’s happening here in Pattaya? Yesterday, I experienced all the pleasures of struggling to unclog a sink. Upon discovering that I lack a necessary liquid, I left the house to go to the store for the first time in three days. Honestly, I can’t say that there was a difference worth noting in the occurrences of the outside world. Yes, there is a bit less traffic then usual, but otherwise, everything seemes very much normal. It was when I arrived at my destination, however, that I began taking notice of the little, almost negligible details. There were a few changes in the rul...

After the pandemic

Good morning; good afternoon; good evening. As you may have guessed by the title, my aim for this entry is to share with you what I hope to do after the coronavirus subsides enough for things to get back to normal. More or less. Just so I don’t forget, if you have a minute or two to spare, leave a comment about some things you would consider doing yourself. It’d be interesting to see what motivates different people to keep hanging on during this disaster. 1. First of all, I will go visit the local dog shelter. I’ve been there a handful of times, with different friends of mine, so I think that my first visit after the virus should be made alone. You know, for the sake of contrast :) 2. I will definitely meet up with people, especially people I didn’t have the chance to catch up with before the situation started escalating. Of course, I can engage in conversations over text or call, video call, even, however, as you are aware, nothing beats meeting in person. 3. I’ll go to...

Happy Songkran!

Hello, welcome back)). Let's breifly summarise the weekend, shall we? :) On Saturday morning I wokeup with very sore legs, which was the expected result of a 1,000 suqat challenge I impulsively decided to do on Friday evening. Yes, you read that right, 1,000 squats, which absolutely destroyed me. Needless to say, I have been forced to make quite the effort to wobble around for the past three days. I baked some nice cookies on Saturday, which got a very good laugh from one specific person who claimed they looked like horse droppings. See for yourself, and let me know if you agree with the opinion: Sunday was they day I attempted (key word here) to make homemade ice-cream. It ended up having a consistency of frozen chocolate mousse, so I wouldn't say it was a complete (another key word) fail. Here's a quick snap I took: Sunday was also the day I was given some lovely chocolates. I've been intermittently eyeing the pack for the entire day today and re...
