Keeping in touch across the miles

All is well with my parents in Bangkok. I’m not sure when they’re going to update, and I don’t know if they sent an email before leaving, so I thought I’d update on my own blog and let everyone know they are safe. I heard from my dad yesterday. I have started school, and I…

My parents are moving to Bangkok this week so they won’t be around for a few days at least. This is really just a heads up for everyone visiting the site. Mom will send an email out soon with contact details and, in case you don’t get it, you can still use the same email…

August bank holiday Monday; so I guess the summer is finally over. What a strange year this has been! I am currently at home again, this time to close up the house and drag “wiffy” off back to Asia with me. I say drag because I get the distinct impression she is not exactly overjoyed…

It’s summer crunch-time. Two more weeks left before school starts, and I have lots of work to finish up before I can call my summer complete. I’ve just, finally, completed three websites I’ve been working on all summer. It feels really good to be at this point! I have a couple more I have to…

This month, so far, I have been to two barbecues, two clubs, the Ontario Rennaissance Festival, and seen four movies and it’s only the 12th! I’ve got four more parties, a trip to Boston and possibly plans to visit another club before the end of the month. Should be interesting, I’m so glad I’m going…

Well looks like I opened a can of worms. Smelt gas as I went to the mailbox so I called the gas co. and someone came to check and found a leak at the end of my driveway. The workmen are still there at 10:10p.m. I guess it must be difficult to locate. Bit of…

I just blogged and I lost it all!!!!! I will try again. It has been so long since I blogged I forgot the password but I remembered it in the shower last night, so here goes! Since April, we have finished the dining room, had a carpet fitted on the stairs and fitted a new…

Just had another week at home. This time I had 2 days up in London, to get my long term Visa for Thailand sorted out. Trish was with me for one day, just in case she needed to be there at the passport office. It turned out not to be necessary, but we had a…

Trish has been somewhat preoccupied for a while now. One reason is visitors. The most recent visitor was our old (not old age) neighbour from Canada, Joanne, and her 2 youngest daughters. Joanne wrote a mail to a few friends and her family about her visit, so I thought it worthwhile to post that, till…

The “3 weeks on – 1 week off” in Bangkok appears to be taking its toll. The last 2 times I have been home I got sick just after arrival (1st time was food poisoning – from a motorway sauasage roll in the UK would you believe; and the 2nd was a nose bleed –…
