Where am I?.....Vinh Hoa, I think.... in March of 2021 ....Still Covid times !
5:00
overcast and drizzling ....
I'm tipsy by 6:15..... I should lay off the sauce since I have some phone calls to make ....
6:20
I've managed to talk to the doctor's receptionist.....the doctor needs to talk to me in person !?!..... so I give them my Viet phone number and I will anticipate the call..... Life in Canada involves SO MANY HOOPS to jump through. When the office assistant wants my Canadian Care Card, I have to find my Canadian wallet...
...and OOOPS.... it's not only falling apart but now also is moldy .... SAD, I bought that wallet in Bellagio on Lake Como together with Regine in 2010 and it always served as a reminder of that day..... but the wallet led a good life and I don't need the wallet to remember Gine ;-)
6:30
A quick call to Grandma.... she's getting her hair done. And she sounds good !
7:00
H&H are here with food.... the usual fare.... thank god; I wasn't looking forward to fried fish again. VERY yummy but it brings out fears of a belly ache !
7:45
H&H are off..... they want 2 trieu tomorrow....fine, but then they have to work and bring breakfast ;-)
Beach bitch must be really hungry... she eats the rice as well and digs through the sand afterwards to find leftovers ....
8:30
I wire Jessica $280.... I simply can't allow myself to rely on her help without repaying it with a case of wine !
10:00
Overcast and drizzling and DEAD QUIET ....
... the beach seems deserted .....
10:30
Bored.... in need of some adventure .... so I build myself a WIDOW-MAKER....
and what am I going to do with it?

 |
| The Inverter takes solar 12V DC (lower power socket), produces 220V AC, which is plugged into the house 220 grid (upper power socket) |
 |
| Let there be light |
Et Voila.....
I am feeding solar-made 220V into the house grid !
Does it work?
That light bulb hasn't been lit for FOUR MONTHS !
And even the fan runs !
However, by far not enough juice for the A/C units ;-(
12:00
Another Phap email asking for money.... 2 trieu this time..... that's 8.5 trieu within 9 days ....WTF?
I postpone replying to him.....
12:30
Time for a cold shower....it's been 3 days ! Not that cold after all....
13:30
Jenny shows up....
16:30
Jenny leaves....
I should buy some wine & cigs and TP ....
17:00
Muoi calls ..... Nha Hang cua Anh Chin .... I walk over ...
Muoi wants to cook me French Fries, but I decline.

| OMG, seen from 2026, Tay was SO LITTLE then ;-) |
I remember what happened the last time...
.... 2 beers later it starts to rain... I head home ...
18:30
Take those wet clothes off....
18:45
Nhat shows up.... he saw a woman on my terrace and thought Jenny was Iwona !
19:15
I finally time to get stuff done ..... (LOL, I'd be yearning for so much friendly social activity in Vancouver ;-)
20:15
I have to write a reply to Phap.... this is difficult.... I want to write a pissed-off email.... but being with him makes me so bloody happy (hypocrite here) .... maybe my long radio silence will make him understand ? .... probably not though.... so I write a matter-of-fact reply..... let him be in limbo for a change....
20:30
doc sach va ngu?
