Happy New Year
Happy New Year This is the last day of Christmas, so the trimmings will be coming down all over the Western World this evening. Along with the rain and the snow, so I have heard. Here in Thailand, it is…
Christmas 2015 in a Thai Village
Christmas 2015 in a Thai Village The first thing to say is that Christmas 2015 in a Thai Village is nothing like any Brit would recognize as Christmas. Not even in the slightest now. However, when I first arrived here,…
Wat Party
Wat Party Last night, we went to a party at the village Buddhist Temple, which is called a Wat in Thai. My wife and many others had been helping the holder of the party prepare for it for three days.…
Holiday Season
The Holiday Season I am not talking about what some people in America and Britain erroneously call the holiday season, because that is Christmas and New Year, and I am sure that no-one who in not a Christian minds us…
CreateSpace
CreateSpace Behind The Smile v6: The Dream is up there online, but I didn’t rush the other two out. I am out of the house now, having a pint and writing to you, but when I get back, I will…
Village Life
Village Life This is becoming monotonous, sorry. It’s been a week now… up and down more often than knickers in a city’s public toilets. I’m sick to death of the crappy Internet ‘Service’ in this village. I don’t want to…
A Big Day For Buddha
A Big Day For Buddha In my wife’s parlance, today is a big day for Buddha. Even after ten years of living together, we have not found a better way of saying it, although that is probably my fault. The…
More of the Same
More of the Same Reading my recent posts must be becoming as boring and predictable as my Internet reception is for me! It is just more of the same! Unfortunately, the story today is also more of the same. Last…
The Solution
The Solution As my regular readers will know, life has been pretty frustrating for me for the last couple of days, but last night the thought occurred to me that the reason why Amazon and Facebook might be behaving oddly…
Lek 6 – Behind The Smile
Lek 6 – Behind The Smile I haven’t been around much for the last two months, as my regular readers will know, because I have been writing the sixth book in the series Behind The Smile, commonly referred to as…
The Lek Series
The Lek Series I call it the Lek series, although it is always billed as the ‘Behind The Smile’ series, which is its official title. It is just that the name Lek trips off the tongue more easily, and after…
Writing My Books
Writing My Books Regular readers will know what I’m like by now – if I’m not writing my books or talking to you like this, I’m reorganizing my files or trying to improve them, but writing my books has to…
Welsh Tits
Welsh Tits - who would have thought that someone would misconstrue my meaning? They are not English tits, they are our own, and we love them!
Our Garden Haircut
Our Garden Haircut My wife normally deals with the day to day running of the garden, and takes it in her stride. I think it’s one of her favourite pastimes, but three or four times a year she has to…
Full Circle – Lek6
Full Circle – Lek6 I have not been getting on well with Lek6, the sixth volume in the series ‘Behind The Smile ~ The Story of Lek, A Bar Girl in Pattaya‘ or at least not in comparison with the…
Clouded Monitor
Clouded Monitor This is an update on the Clouded Monitor I told you about yesterday that has been living in our garden for the last two days. I asked Neem if she had seen him today and she said that…
Starting a New Novel
Starting a New Novel I have been thinking of starting a new novel for a while now, because I feel at a loose end unless I’m writing. That’s why I bombard my regular readers with posts like this every day.…
