So yesterday I came down feeling quite sick at about lunch time. All I’d eaten up to that point yesterday was a sausage roll for breakfast, so I blame that.
Anyway, felt quite ill, and went home at about 2pm.
Once home, I immediately commenced a regime of slugging back hourly half-shots of Bis-Pectin ™ and lots [...]
Things are busy here, back at work. And things are busy outside of work, too.
Let’s see … family night on Tuesday is back. Survivor is still on, I can’t believe how dumb Shiann (sp?) is. Gloat less, idiot. Sure, it’s ok to feel good when you win, but less gloating. And less talking about [...]
Hey all, I’m back in Perth, and here are some pictures of the Elephant Park. Click each picture for a fullsize version.
Firstly, this is the entry sign:
Elephants posing:
A “lassooed” elephant … how they used to catch elephants in the wild:
War elephants:
The magician at the park:
Me riding an elephant:
Whoa, which one’s the elephant? Diet time. :happysad:

Ok, I’m missing home now, and have decided to start doing nothing, with the hope that I will be recharged and ready to go when I get back. Doing a lot of reading, in fact I might have to buy some more books, as I’m almost finished the 4 I brought with me, as well [...]
I’m so full … I just finished day 1 of my 2-day Thai cooking course, which includes all the food you cook. I made three dishes, and tasted each, but I’ve still got at least 1 large meal left. Green chicken curry, beef mussaman(sp?) curry and a pad thai goong sod (fried noodles with prawns). [...]
It’s been another couple of days, and I’ve got a lot to tell.
You may recall that the Bridge over the River Kwai tour (actually pronounced Kwah, and it’s not a River, but a tributary of the Meklong River) was postponed to Saturday morning, instead of Friday. So Friday, I got on the tour to visit [...]
Thailand is great.
Let’s see … I got here yesterday early in the morning, and have the greatest hotel room … 2 rooms (a bedroom and a living room) and it’s huge. Especially for the money I paid, which I recall being “not much”.
Thai Airways is my new favourite airline. Even if you put aside the [...]

To those that rang or SMSed to enquire as to the status of my passport drama, thankyou. You’ll be pleased to hear, I trust, that it was all sorted on Thursday afternoon. The relief is still tangible.
Thursday evening was soccer, and even though I had an assload of packing to do, I went and helped [...]
Last night, when I got home, I had a minor niggle that I should find my passport. It wasn’t on my desk, where I thought it was, nor was it on/around the piano (the second place I thought it was), wasn’t in the car (third place), nor at work (fourth place, yes I made a [...]
Can you believe that we’re almost down to one day of the week left? Then can you believe that I’m almost on holiday again? I’m sitting here, and I can’t believe it. Someone pinch me, thanks.
So Godfrey called, wanting me to get him a camera from here for cheap, and then taking it to Thailand [...]
