  Thursday 23rd of February 2023 and I wake up at 2 o'clock. I went to bed at 7 and I felt asleep. I tried to get some more sleep but it was impossible. So, I made breakfast and I cleaned the cottage. I think I will go to the supermarket to buy sausages before going to Helsingborg to return the rented car. Karen Mærsk is berthed on a repair jetty and my friend updated me with pictures.     They will leave the repair jetty on Sunday morning and my friend will be on board until then. I left my cottage at 7 thirty, I was half way to the supermarket when I changed my mind, no sausages. Bit I changed my mind and I went to buy some Swedish sausages. I bought two Falu sausages and 3 other kinds of sausages, 2 pack of each. I dropped my empty bottles in a flower pot outside the supermarket and I expect them to be gone very soon. I filled up the pot a couple of days ago, 20 bottles or so and they were gone when I came out from the supermarket. SO I expect these bottles to be gone in a jiff You get 10 - 15 Cent when you return the bottles so someone is making good money out of my bottles. I have been drinking more than one MAX since I came to Sweden.  Plenty sausages
 Approaching Helsingborg
It was gloom and grey for long as I could see so it was actually quite nice to leave. I returned my car to Cirkel-K and I booked a taxi with my app. Next train was at 08:55 but then I would have had to change train in Malmö so I took Øresundståget that would leave at 09:10. I had to wait for 20 minutes at the train station and the time passed quickly so it was no problem. And I was very lucky, the train was almost empty, at least the car I choose. I had expected about one million passengers as the train came from Gothenburg. It was kind of a nice train trip to Kastrup, Copenhagen International Airport. Of course, more passengers got on board during the trip, but it was not so many.  Empty car

 Check-in not open
There was already a lot of people lining up for Thai Airways check-in. But there was no one waiting to check in to biz. I was waiting when one of the check-in staff came to tell me that they expected to wait for about 10 minutes. They were not ready for check-in but the same guy came back to me and told me that I could check-in now and I was past the security before the other passengers started to check in. I went  to the lounge, 3 hours to kill and I spotted that they had fresh bread. I should really not eat bread, but it was a very long time ago and I really love bread.  But I could not help myself so I enjoyed more bread fresh bread than was healthy for me together with tea. The bread came straight from the oven and it was excellent! I never liked this lounge before, but this bread shot the lounge straight up in the top. I left for the gate, and LO AND BEHOLD, they had started boarding by the time I got to the gate. For sure not an everyday experience that they board according to the time printed on the boarding pass. What a pleasant surprise!  Boarding flight TG 951

 Boarding flight TG 951
They brought the menu and I only asked for two bottles of water and two extra pillows. And I asked for the omelette for breakfast, no dinner as I was full from all the bread in the lounge. So, I just wanted to sleep. I turned my seat in to a bed and I was asleep 2 hours after departure and I woke up 2 hours before arrival. I had 6 cups of tea and the breakfast was very good. Cheese omelette with bacon and some kind of potato. Best breakfast I had have on a flight for a very long time. I was staring at the flight map killing time until touch down and time passed quite quickly. And it was so nice to get of the flight, dead tired even though I had slept most of the time.  We have arrived to Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok International Airport
 Time to get off
 Not many people at Suvarnabhumi
 I stop to buy whiskey
  I stop to book a car at the AOT desk at the luggage claim area
I had called my Yoga Teacher and ปีศาจแดง ก.กุมานนท์, the Red Devil at Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym so it will be Yoga and exercise tomorrow morning. I was through immigration in a jiff and my luggage was on the luggage belt when I arrived. I had stopped to buy two bottles of whiskey; I was only allowed to buy one bottle. I took my bags and I went to AOT Limousine's desk to book a car. AOT is very convenient, just to give my telephone number and they have all my details. So, no need for any lengthy discussions on where I am going etc. They print the voucher and I go to the AOT desk located just after the custom. They take my luggage trolley and they bring me out to the car. But today I needed to buy some milk and refreshments so we went to the convenient store one floor above arrival floor.  Going up to the next floor to find the convenient store
 Finally at the car
 Loading the car

 Almost on the way
We loaded the car and the driver put my address in the GPS and we were on the way. It was nice to come home and I felt asleep on my bed as I was dead tired. I went to the optician when I woke up to make new glasses as per the prescription from the Swedish optician. My friend came to the optician and we went to drink tea. +++++++++++++++
Saturday 25th of February 2023 and I went to Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym to do some yoga and for some exercise with ปีศาจแดง ก.กุมานนท์, The Red Devil. I ordered T-shirts before I left for Sweden and they were at the gym now.
So, I changed my shirt before we started the yoga and I liked my red shirt. I got a yellow and a green shirt as well. I had 2 black t-shirts since before but must have different colours so people don’t think I use the same shirt every day.  We have our new shirts

I picked up my new glasses and it is the first time I use progressive glasses. I gave the optician my last glasses and I told him to keep them and I would decide what lenses I wanted after a few days when I have got used with my new progressive glasses. And I need to have a birding session or two to try bird watching with the progressive glasses before I decide about my other glasses. My friend has his birth day on the 6th of March and we went to celebrate him in Samut Prakan. He treated us for dinner and it was very good food and we topped up with a surprise cake that I had booked on line yesterday. Our friend asked if we wanted cake and we said no and I gave the waitress the secret sign and they brought the cake.  Having dinner

   I must test the new progressive glasses in my “bird watching” glasses and I decided to go for the first test at Suan Rot Fai. Click HERE to find out how this worked out.
