Ooft. Compare that this this?!

I know which I would prefer.

I did bump up the weather compensation curve today because I’ve noticed with the defrosts I think we don’t have enough system volume to prevent cold water being pushed back into the house. But nothing which can’t be fixed.

Hot bin composter had gone cold whilst we were away travelling.

So spent the day doing some late autumn clearing of the garden. Now have put it to bed tonight with a hot water bottle to kick start it going again.

Audience safety though leaves a lot to be desired.

We’ve had laser beams shining at the audience. A drag queen setting the bar on fire and bar staff continuing to douse the bar in lighter fluid.

Oh and no marked fire escapes and only one exit. 😅

Just witness a horrified twink being stripped topless by a drag queen in front of an audience of about 200 in a bar in Thailand.

Just when you think you’ve seen everything there is to see. Thailand goes ‘hold my beer’

On the positive side. The drag show itself is 11/10.

She’s just released her first album

More urban exploring yesterday.

It’s funny, you see loads of people taking stereotypical Instagram photos….but they miss the rich beauty of a lot of the graffiti they walk past.

Urban exploring today!

An hour left to go. Then we leave. 😢

This I think sums up the impact this last week has been on me.

I see your organisation skills and raise you chaos.

Just been boiled to death in a hot stone bath.
