I agree.

I walk upstairs sometimes to do something, I get to the top of the stair, the mobile rings, I answer it, chat, then finish the call and then I wonder what I came upstair for, I hope that is normal at the age of 65?

Karma says that you came upstairs to talk on the phone. Worrying about it more than that keeps you from what the Universe has in store for you next.

You must be one of those Bogon chappies, that decent Australian's ridicule.

Bogon? I thought that was a special offer in the supermarket when you get two items for the price of one?

Lost in the forest!?

Must be the size of a footy pitch. Couldn't he read the stars like everyone else?

Perhaps it didn't occur to him to 'wing' it?

Hopefully the Universe is going to solve the Covid problem in Thailand in the next few months and then I can go to dear old Phuket for six months, check my house out and then happily drive my car from beach to beach, yes I mean beach not the other word which sounds similar :)

He was a little bit 'off side' as he was too far 'forward'.

Why didnt he just walk down the mountain ?

Just walk around until you find a path and then follow it , and it will lead to someones house

Or same, but find a creek and follow it - they all go to one place and people always live near them.

Young fella.  We learned that as kids in school many decades ago. There was a school program done because a lot of aussie kids were getting lost in the bush.  Back then kids were told "here is some money for your  lunch and a drink - and make sure you are home not long after the street lights come on". Me and my mates would go all over the place - we once rode our bikes for 4 hours to get to this big river for a 1 hour swim and then rode all the way back (once).  Getting lost in the bush was a common occurrence - so we learned east from west and how to find 'civilisation'.
