What is the name of this new to garden bird? Saw eating with a partner, think it was a chaffin but colouring so beautiful? Red forehead with a yellow strip on wings!

Let me pass on my experience from having travelled extensively through this world, most years from when I was 18 years old: I'm now a healthy 54!! Enjoy every day, keep as fit as one can and don't PANIC!! Live a selfless life and be at peace with oneself!!

Hi two weeks since I arrived back in the UK and started my 2-week self-isolation! Well, I'm still alive but my outlook on life having to listen to the BBC news, makes me believe the C19 virus is a panic created by overpaid BBC staff!

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

What I have learnt from this pandemic is the world. has still not remembered that no one is immortal. Having known that life is precious since I was 24 years old, nothing scares me and I value every minute of my life!

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

Having endured 3 days of travelling by car & plane, I'm now back in England. Now in quarantine even though, I had the all-clear of the C19 virus back in Chiang Mai! But my PA doesn't believe it and she has OCD!

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

This is the fourth time I have genuinely felt my life is in danger of being one more day, in the wonderful country I have often called my spiritual home! Thailand the country with so much great people, yet not when it comes to a world crisis?

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

Another day by my hotel's riverbank, watching the local fishermen relaxing as they hope to catch their daily fish. How some people are coping with the C19, by following there normal routine? No panic from the locals here!

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

#COVID19 My 30 years risk management expertise is quiet simple, wash your hands, don't sneeze in front of others and refrain from picking your nose! Easy!!

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

Life goes on and I had my C19 results back today and I'm pleased all A1! Wish my team were being as positive as me but I should expect nothing other than panic from them, they are all women and scared more about missing their food?

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

One learns much about the world population and its resolve at coping in a crisis? My experience tells me that most humans panic in a world crisis and the WW11 spirit is forgotten? Screw your fellow man and look after No.1

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

Had the test for C19 today, private hospital a joke and don't think they are very competent in a crisis! I'm trusting no one except my own staff! Have a safe day?

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

Carrying on as normal as until a C19 vaccine is available, the capitalists will have to get used to less caviar! One bank that has shown they have no bottle is American Express, they reduced my credit by 75% today Bastards!!!

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

Update, if people stop this global panic, maybe some of us could plan to get home; without having to pay through the earth to do so!!

[Ian Balchin @IanBalchin2]

Now I'm planning to evac Chiang Mai by taxi. A 9hr drive so should be able to catch my BKK flight within the Gov 10 pm curfew? What a laugh!!
