Saveloy... saveloy?
Not sure about the saveloy.... Fucking pizza, kebaby, fish and chips, lasagne... Christ I'm a salivating wreck... Book us in for a hoppy pint July 20th, with any (all) of the above. Seriously, looking forward to catching up when we do, eventually, hit England (London) again. We will be stopping in Enfield (my semi-sis) when we do get back so's you are definitely gonna get a call. Stock up...

Thanks so much for posting your Covid-19 lock down expereince in Laos.
Although you may think that you've had a thoroughly shitty month there, by comparison to many other places, you've been living in paradise.

Welcome and appreciated
How lucky are you to be welcome & appreciated in Laos...safe & secure...and also cooling off. This blog is an historical record of Brits in contact in the ether but surviving the Covid-19 pandemic from afar. The virus has many stories. Thank you for being upbeat, being conscious of observing your safeguard responsibilities...and sharing your survival story.

The virus is indeed a shit! I can imagine the angst of trying to make decisions with so little (and constantly changing) information. All in all, it seems you have made the best choices and are probably far better off than most of us in highly populated centres. Hope you are continuing to keep safe and well. P.S. puppy in the bucket with bubs would have broken the cuteness scale... ;)

Here I am, finally catching up on blogger’s posts that I favour the most. Present company included. Life being at a standstill and all. I had made an assumption you both had gone back to Jolly Ol’ but alas you are holed up in Laos. One can only live on baguette and fruit smoothie so long. But it doesn’t sound like that bad of a gig. Try and stay dry, hopefully that river doesn’t breach the balcony this year. It’s now April 30th. What’s the latest? Other than worrying about your loved ones, Fair, I think you were smart to hunker down in Laos. I’d trade you a plate of crispy cicadas and Beerlao right about now! Hang in there are stay safe Andy & Ali! BTW Thank you for the well wishes on my latest post. Cheers!

What happened next?
I really enjoyed reading your blog and was looking forward to the next instalment! As a blogger I know it’s possible to reach overload and decide to stop and just live in the moment, but if you do write about what happened next I’d be really interested. Stay safe and well, wherever you are!
