The weeks melt away, glacial time suffering the effects of global warming. Thailand has had a plebiscite basically a choice between agreeing to the new constitution as written by the current military junta or postponing elections into the murky future.
Meanwhile the government has it's hands full closing down you tube sites and quelling protests on the streets of Bangkok, so s.n.a.f.u. as they say.
Saw the king on the t.v. the other day and he doesn't look very well, the rainy season has been in full swing and the school is gearing up for sport day (oh yeah) I feel a farce coming on. apparently every year it rains all week and then is fine on sport day. Some how I remain unconvinced!
Watching the news today it is awash with stories of the ten year anniversary of the death of Dianna "the princess of Wales", it reminded me that it is ten years since I was living on Koh Phangan, it was from a hotel room in bangkok that I watched the news unfolding in the Paris tunnel. Funny to be almost in the same place ten years on, Thailand has become my country of residence by default.
Not feeling very loquacious today, three weeks till the end of term and some holidays, (yay). Might wander into Patong this evening to pick up some software and stuff. Stay tuned for a fluffier post coming soon.
Love N.J.
