I’m very tired

Four hours of karaoke will do that to you. I feel strangely drunk and yet I haven’t touched a drop. People are built by their memories and also by what touches them but I still cling to the belief that the only way to be in control is never to let what touches know that … Read More

A Beautiful Clear Day

Yesterday was fabulous, it was sunny but not sweaty, there was a lovely breeze and you could see for miles. It was exactly the perfect day to be given a random holiday on. Which I was. (HURRAY!) I spent the morning swimming and cycling; the countryside was beautiful, the last of the farmers are cutting … Read More


Music

I feel completely and utterly ashamed of myself. I have no musical taste whatsoever, this is a standard fact that is bandied about my various circles of friends. I would like to take this opportunity to again point out that I did not buy that damn S Club 7 albulm it was a freebie from … Read More

Watching Battle Royale after having taught in Japan and also with people who are teaching in Middle School in Japan is a very different experience.

So Skimble and I spent yesterday plotting for Nesuphyn’s birthday. We are currently dressed … Read More

MMmmmmm spent a delicious lunchtime yesterday at the international school listening to a verrrrrrry dreamy french accent. Oh that boy is seriously seriously cute. Did you know … Read More


SUMO!!!!!!

It is soooooo fine! I mean really really fine. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it half as much as I did. My one experience with wrestling was being forced to watch WWF as it was then by some boys at primary school; it kind of biased me after that. So I went to the sumo … Read More


Post Equinoctal Calm

I’m calm, I’m not as relaxed as I was when I first got here but I have lost the slightly sick feeling at the pit of my stomache and the teary feeling at the back of my brain. Trust me to let my defences down at precisely the wrong moment! In anycase the Jellicle is … Read More
