Why did it have to rain yesterday?

Friends, Koh Phangan January 27th, 2008

We have had amazing weather for the last couple of weeks, it’s the high season here right now, so you can imagine it’s the best time of year weather wise. So why on earth did it have to rain yesterday?

I had worked about 15 hours the day before to clear a whole day with no work, and it went and rained all day, how bloody typical? We did manage to pop out to the temple in Thongsala in the evening, as it was having a festival, and the food stalls are always really good when one of the temples throws a party.

Zab came back today, I just rode the CBR into town to drop him off his keys at the pier, he has an awful lot of luggage and young lady with him, maybe now he will buy some furniture for his apartment!

Oh well, back to the grind stone today, more work to do, I think I worked less hours when I was in England.

Playing catch up

Koh Phangan, Work January 25th, 2008

After a couple of days of a very dodgy Internet connection, I am finally catching up with my workload. I wish Zab was back on the island though, I could really use a little help from him with some of the outstanding stuff, I just don’t seem to have enough hours in the day to deal with it all, especially now baby Leon has arrived.

Nuth is really good though, if she knows I am working she takes care of him completely and feeds me coffee all day, only now and then does she make it clear she is tired of sitting and home, and hints we should go out to lunch or something similar, this is actually really good for me, as otherwise I would be sitting in the same chair for 12 hours straight every day, not a nice way for things to turn out.

I am going to pull an all night session tonight, and hopefully have a completely clear day tomorrow, I am going to take her out to a really nice beach resort up in Haad Yao for lunch I think. I might even try putting Leon in the waves on the edge of the beach to see what he thinks of them!

Google are not very nice sometimes

And that is putting it very very pleasantly indeed, the sons of god knows what have just wiped the pagerank of this blog to zero, they have done this because I scrape a living making sponsored blog posts, I am really rather angry at them

It seems they have done this to thousands of people who use a certain blog marketing website, I wouldn’t mind but the site in question uses pagerank as a system to allocate paid post opportunities. So now I am doubly stuffed, no pagerank and no paid blog opportunities. This really is very annoying, please not I have not used a single swear word in this post, although I am definitely thinking them.

How do you put a baby to sleep?

Home Life, Parenting January 25th, 2008

Young Leon has been somewhat demanding today, he woke up very early, abut 30 minutes after I had started work at around 7am. Nuth woke up at the same time and we decided we may as well go out for breakfast today. So Nuth gave Leon a bath very early, about 4 hours earlier than normal to be more exact.

So we went out for breakfast at about 9:£0am, no problems, Leon did his usual trick of playing up to all the people in the restaurant, so much so that the owner whisked him away to take care of him while we ate.

The problems didn’t start until we got home, usually if we have been out, Leon falls asleep in the downstairs hammock as soon as we get home, however, today he didn’t.

He has been awake all day, demanding attention, if we put him down for 5 seconds he cries, so we have to pick him up again, it’s now 7:30pm and Nuth is still trying to get him to go to sleep!
