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… Continue reading →

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… Continue reading →

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

So now I am doubly stuffed, no pagerank and no paid blog opportunities. This really is very annoying, please not… Continue reading →

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… Continue reading →

You may remember me posting that a friend of mine, Zab, had disappeared somewhere between Bangkok and Cambodia, out in the middle of the Isan province, last seen with a Thai girl on one arm and searching for yet another lost mobile phone.

Well I finally spoke to him yesterday, and he should be back on the island by the weekend, which is just about the time that my other friend Mick leaves. Then again Zab can be a bit vague, I wouldn’t be surprised if he disappeared again, let’s not forget it took him 5 weeks to get from… Continue reading →
