coping with lockdown

Enjoying the garden. Rented house.
Thinking at the employment outcome when all this shit is over, if my boss's business sinks.
It's gonna be like musical chairs, probably the right time to start over again in a different direction, hopefully with more purpose, and a needed better salary.
Cheap pleasures, middle pressure, reshuffle of expectations according to the situation.

My apartment is well stocked and my wife is a superb cook and I was a Chef for 25 years all across the USA..
I am watching my dvd and Blu-ray collection I have schlepped to Cambodia over the past 3 years.
My apartment has a 10 meter pool and I am swimming 3-4 days a week.
Only 5 of the 7 units in my building are occupied and some people do not swim.
I am in a lockdown of sorts.. meaning I cannot book my flight back to the USA in late May to go work on my house and put it on the market for sale.
So, I will continue to bake breads and make pizza dough and enjoy my retirement in Siem Reap.
I am impressed with how my go to markets have provided sanitizers as has my bank ATM.
I was even tested for fever at the front gate of my meat purveyor Lee's frozen food yesterday.
I purchased a prime grade New Zealand ribeye, buffalo, pork and mozzarella.
I am grateful to be here with my beautiful wife instead of stuck back in the USA alone with her alone here. I made it back on January 20th after dealing with my mom's death..
I had to fly through China 6 times WHILE CHINA KNEW THEY HAD THE VIRUS IN WUHAN.
I spent 8 hours at the Shanghai airport on one trip and 8 in Guangzhou on another.
I flew back from the states through Hong Kong on the 20th of January.
So, I suspect I have already had the fucking Wuhan china virus already.
In my humble opinion the virus was in Cambodia months ago but was never tested.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than here with my Khmer wife.
I have 5 seasons of Peaky Blinders on blu ray and just finished another binge on season 4...

Its gonna be soooooo funny when coronavirus2 starts in the USA and we cn call it the LA american virus and watch the gingerbread man turn purple

I do a bunch of that stuff but am too lazy to go to Lees, probably because I smoke too much weed by the pool and my freezer is full of shrimp.. And I aint got a wife and quality rentals arent available. But Life is pretty laid back though. My Spotify Playlist is Huge.

Lot's of internet browsing for me. I would love to be out working on my motorcycle, but I have a bum leg at the moment. Hopefully in a week or so I can get up and about more. I have been finding some videos on cheap meals that look pretty good that I'm excited to try out. And as soon as I'm on my feet again, I can't wait to make my apartment spotless. I was working a lot of long hours since I got the place, so haven't given it a really deep clean everywhere yet. No work to worry about now... It'll be nice once my leg is feeling better and I can get some things done that I had been wanting to get done for a while.

Thanks for mentioning Lee's. I had never heard of it. I'll definitely check it out once I'm feeling better. I need a place to get decent beef here.

I always thought that I would be able to survive a situation like a lockdown or the end of the world situation. Having been raised as a kid in the country on a scrubby bit of land we had nothing .
Lived on a commune and again self sufficiency to survive any situation that came was top priority .
Lived on 280 acres of scrub land that I bought and tried to be self-sufficient. Failed
Ended up after a marriage breakup with a bare 13 acre block of land and attempted to be self sufficient again .

.1984

Only took 10 years and a lot of bloody hard work to nearly get there only to be destroyed again by getting married.

1994 Note the trees

So I gave up waiting for the world to end

Today I wanted to start a vegie garden and renew that feeling of being self-sufficient if there was a total lockdown and I would be able to pick my own fresh vegies. So step one was to visit Bunnings and buy some tomato plants but they were sold out and cannot get any new supplies .
Next was , buy some seeds . Well the racks of vegie seeds were ,,, Nil, Sold out ,,only seed available were flower seeds.

As I have always said , its almost impossible to be self-sufficient.

^^^ You can get seeds in BigW, and probably Kmart. And if all else fails, you can get seeds inside the tomato.
