My little boy is ill. About three weeks ago we noticed blood in his urine and called the vet who told us it was quite common and to bring him in if he stopped urinating altogether, which he subsequently

For the last twelve months I've been tutoring 12 and 15 year old sisters in Maths. Yes. That's maths with an 's'. Don't get me started! I'm not a professional tutor, and teaching is not something I'd ever

With Pinmapple closing down at the end of May, all of your existing pins are set to disappear. That means all of those p

It's only taken just shy of six years! But that's OK. I've enjoyed almost every step of the way, but like every path, there are ups and downs, twists and turns. I'm always going to be in awe of my class

No. It's not a photo of a cat that's been squashed by an aircon. He lives under there, and has been doing for almost three months and we've no idea where he came from. We first noticed him hanging around

It had been a good weekend. My new bit of wall was finished, there were no cancellations and just a minor wheelbarrow issue that was quickly sorted. Right up until one of the parents came back in and asked

There was just the rendering and ramp to complete. On time, on budget and looking straight (ish)! Talking of budget, I'll show you the costings. What? Cant read Thai? Me neither, but roughly, the green

Day two, and things had progressed better than expected! The shuttering came off, the posts looked pretty straight and the local mom and pop store sent us a cake to say thank you for helping them double

Nothing to see here. Just a bloke taking his 🐃 buffalo for a walk. As you do! Buffaloes play a large part in Thai culture being traditionally used to pull ploughs and carts in days of yore and today,

I'd got a pile of wood and hundreds of screws checked and counted off present and correct. I'd got the new drill. I'd got a house that smelt like an explosion in a pesticide factory and I'd got a wife

It's been a funny old day. Woke up to find out the chick's had hatched but there were six eggs but only four chicks, so perhaps a cat or another chicken got to them first sadly. Either way, none of the

The people on the steps had ventured towards the market, got confused and just sat down not knowing what to do next. The guy in this shop is breaking the law. No, not by selling weed as that is totally

...trying to keep on top of the gardening and having a full day free today, it was time to fight back! Time to get out the wheelbarrow, the strimmer and the binbags and at least make an effort to get the

The end is in sight! We'll finally stop the Samui-Bangkok-Samui weekly commute at the end of August. With an overflowing appointment book and increasing waiting list, the time is now. Despite the security

It has to be said that many trees here are as soft as shite. Take my wife's beloved papaya tree. One little gust of wind and over she goes! Interesting things about papaya trees is that they're only just

Sometimes, the understanding of English goes a little awry in Thailand. I'm not triggered. I genuinely appreciate their help in making their English speaking visitors welcome. God knows, it would be easier

I'm sitting on a bus, finally catching up with a whole clutch of fantastic posts this week and decided that I too, needed to make my first post in over a week. The problem is, I had nothing. Hence, I'm

The delivery man pulled up outside. Nothing unusual. Just the wife's daily 2 or 3 boxes of books or junk from Shopee... "Chuay duay krap" (help me please) pleaded the driver. Odd, I thought until

No, it's not a typo. Tooday is the name of the coffee shop cum cafe that I'd been trying to avoid for weeks as I quickly drive past it every Friday on the way back to Bangkok. The problem with spending

This piece is absolutely beautiful and painted directly onto the cinder block wall. Another favourite. The detail on the cat is amazing and blossoms are just sublime. The entrance to the shrine and as
