  • Updates!

    Wow, it’s been a while. Thailand was quite a ride. Very relaxing, very laid back, very cheap. I can’t even put it all into words.

  • Swimmin’ in the rain

    This is Easter weekend, and the last couple of days I have taken my morning swim in the rain. It was great, not least because we have seen no rain since last October and the majority of the country is in a severe drought. The swims were terrific though as the rain was fair sized…
