When I lived in Bermuda (I think the population was less than 65k people at that time) a huge number of people rode bikes/scooters. You NEVER left your helmet on your bike. It was either locked up in the bike box or you took it inside with you (your friend's house, a restaurant, whatever). You could never leave a helmet out in London either. Here in Chiang Mai, a city with far more people than Bermuda, many people just leave their helmets with their bikes, unsecured. I don't know about Bermuda, but I remember a time when London was a lot more high-trust. Maybe with the sheer number of people there it was never at Thai levels, but it was certainly more then, than it is now. I miss that

The absolute travesty of getting the flu in London the week before @Nostrshire and then a chest infection just as I arrive in Thailand. I still don't have a normal enough voice to even attempt to get this collection on audio as suggested by @Daniel Prince so that I can get these poems up on @Fanfares Razor-blade coughing fits? Like WTAF? View quoted note →

GN to everyone, except the mosquito in my hotel room 😖

GN from Thailand everyone Where losing your voice because of a neverending cough means a doctor will give you codeine to stop you coughing (apparently this is a legitimate aim), which means you get sleepy and hit the sack very early. And where pharmacists will hand over amoxycillin like it's your birthday. Bangkok was too mental for me so I sought out quieter vibes in a small fishing village. I haven't spoken in over 24 hours. It's kinda nice. GoogsTranslate has been doing a lot of heavy lifting - it now knows my coffee and food preferences, and the extent to which I keep apologising for having lost my voice 😂
