The obligatory family trip to the south of Thailand, pleasant
but far away, has seen us do normal things, not covid restriction things,
normal things. Until the stomach bug took its toll.

Was it food? Not the mothers-in-law, certainly not!
Was it the Pad Thai? Doubt it.
Was it the water? Must have been. It was the water! Ahem.

Feeling sick and not engaging makes James a dull boy.
Feeling sick and not engaging makes James a dull boy.
Feeling sick and not engaging makes James a dull boy.
Feeling sick and not engaging makes James a dull boy.

Today has been a driving day; all, fec-kin’ day.
I’m washed out.

Driving all day Makes James a dull boy.
Driving all day Makes James a dull boy.
Driving all day Makes James a dull boy.
Driving all day Makes James a dull boy.

I will play catch up with you all tomorrow. Do excuse my lazy arse,
I will make up for it. Thank you as always. Jx.🙏🙏
