Wishful thinking
Mar 14, 2010 7:42pm
When Son and I were staying in Chiang Mai at half term, the hotel gave us a fortune cookie each day after housekeeping had been to clean the rooms. Here are three of mine:I got it twice; it must be true. *Sigh* I do wish that they applied to any...
Red shirts, red toe and red with excitement
Mar 12, 2010 10:59pm
Yesterday the children and Husband worked from home (oh how the children cursed e-learning technology.) The city of Bangkok is eerily quiet and many activities have been postponed or cancelled. From yesterday the UDD, or red shirts, were accumulating in various points to march on Bangkok to try to persuade...

City of Angels
Mar 10, 2010 7:56pm
I have been trying to put this post together for nearly a week. I’ve failed to find the words to describe the evening but I’m posting this anyway. It was one of the most extraordinary nights I’ve ever experienced here.Last Thursday two friends told me that they were going to...
A Blog Award
Mar 3, 2010 7:07am
Lovely Debs in her shed has passed this Prolific Blogger Award on to me. I’m particularly pleased to have this award because I do love blogging and I had a dry patch recently which made me sad. There are a few rules that come attached to it:1. Every winner of the...
Moral support
Mar 1, 2010 6:46pm
Some weeks ago I went on an outing with a friend at her request. I went as her moral support.Normally I am a good friend. I will go and sit in hospitals, dentists or wait in dressing rooms while friend tries on millions of [insert type of clothing that makes...

Trains, Trains and Boats
Feb 27, 2010 7:26am
I had such a brilliant day last Thursday. C and A organised a day out to Mae Klong market. You might have seen it already on YouTube but if not you can watch my video below (edited to not show the mind numbingly stupid thing I did with my camera...

.Frogs on sticks, anyone?I need the weekend to sort out my dim-wittedness that I referred to yesterday. So here instead is a delicacy. Apologies to anyone with a weak constitution....
Blog topics: famine to feast
Feb 25, 2010 5:58am
Blimey I’m knackered. I’ve had a very exciting day out today, which involved two train trips and a boat trip, some waiting, lots of sun and lovely company. But I’ve wanted to go to bed since about 7pm tonight and I can barely hold my head up… so I’m not...
Busy busy busy
Feb 22, 2010 6:50pm
Yesterday I was at a travel writing workshop at the library. It was helpful for one of my four commissions because I hadn't quite worked out how to tackle it. I feel a bit closer to sorting it out now. *Waves* at L and any of the other attendees who...
Uhming and Ahhing
Feb 17, 2010 5:55pm
The first computer I ever had was an Amstrad. Boyfriend (now Husband) knew that buying the Amstrad was a mistake; he was using Apple Macs in the laboratories, but they weren't offering students interest free loans to buy Macs. I think lovingly of that Amstrad because I typed my dissertation...
Half term
Feb 16, 2010 7:55pm
Is it half term every where this week? It is here for our school. Daughter has gone off on a school trip to London and Son and I have work to do. My work (on the travel articles) is being met with little resistance; after all this is what...
Chinese New Year; the final episode
Feb 15, 2010 5:13pm
Here are some tigers I've spotted out and about in Bangkok over the last week or ten days. The four heads are gigantic - about seven feet high and there's one missing. This post ends the Chinese New Year series!...

I doubt there's any method to the madness in Pants-tip Computer Mall. I was in Panthip (silent h) earlier in the week. It can make you want to leap from the top balcony or make you fall in love with Bangkok all over again, dependent on your mood. Luckily for...
The Leotard Lady
Feb 9, 2010 4:43pm
I’ve been wondering of late whether I’d finally got used to here; had I become jaded and inured to delights of Bangkok? And then… last week I got an email informing me that ‘the leotard lady’ will be in the gym at school on x date between these times. The letter...
Not the Boomtown Rats
Feb 7, 2010 7:34pm
I am feeling very jolly today. I like Mondays. I think it might be a hangover from my art college days when I attended part time on Mondays and Tuesdays. How I loved the end of the weekend so I could get into college and make things. It’s still utter selfishness that...
Funny from Daughter
Feb 4, 2010 4:14pm
Daughter was off school last Monday with a bug that has been doing the rounds. I emailed her form teacher, cancelled her bus place and let her gym coach know because she’s having extra training for a competition on Sunday. On my way out of the house for my meeting, I said...
It's a mystery
Feb 3, 2010 7:45pm
I sometimes wonder whether my need to write has increased since I’ve been surrounded by a foreign tongue. Although I can speak some Thai, it’s strictly practical – getting around in a taxi because only about 5% of the city’s taxis know where they’re going; ordering food, finding out where...
Jack Spratt and his wife
Jan 31, 2010 8:34pm
We had a bit of a drama this morning. Yesterday Husband’d been out shopping with a colleague at one of the computer malls, Panthip Plaza – affectionately called Pants-tip by me. It’s a mad place, full of touts and vendors, offering ‘sexy movies’ and hooky computer software. But this morning Husband...
