Yorky, my Some-timers kicked in and I cannot remember who mentioned getting Christmas lights back in their original packaging. Some members think it may be you. The more I think about it, the more my brain fog kicks in. LOL

Edited to add: Do you have Aldi stores in Thailand? I love being on an international forum. I learn so much!

The lights are in this post - #202

AFAIK we do not have Aldi stores here, not in the middle of nowhere anyway.
 
Yesterday with my mate Mladen I said goodbye to the Saab. We had to remove the plates and de register her. I also had to have a statement notarized signing the remains over to the insurance company so the will release the last tranche of money today. Mladen is a Mensch, he also comes from a very "influential" Dalmatian family. I call him Don Mladen. Tomorrow the Don and I will be going to his village in the hill behind us for a men only BBQ. A number of his pigs were slaughtered before Christmas and the village butcher has been converting them to sausage etc. The legs are getting the first smoke before air drying for Prsut. I will watch as they grill the first raw sausage for a beer and sausage lunch. Normally it would be quite a big deal with all the village men there but because of covid it will be only his close family. We will then deliver sausage to those who were not there.

No idea why but last night I went back to the songs I used to listen when I out in my teen years. A wave of Brazilian music swept through the country and all the songs came with really silly choreographies that we all knew by heart. Portugal is still flooded by brazilian songs but both the lyrics and the choreos have become dirtier, it's not fun like in the old days.
 
We are snowed-in for the second day. A couple of cars on our little road have got out but we have nowhere urgent to go. One neighbour abandoned her car a couple of roads away (hill) after witnessing a car crash into a fence.

You mean Brazilian Bossanova ? I like it very much and also Portuguese Fado, of course.
I sometimes listen to Amalia Rodriguez, what a voice and what a saudade - despite I am not Portuguese but she takes my heart to your fab Country every single time
