Early
start. I was outside the hotel from
6.35am waiting for the tour bus to pick me up.
They’d said 6.45 but I didn’t want to miss it. It didn’t arrive until 7.05... Most of the
trip I stayed quiet in back, with my ear phones in. Nirvana, ... Read more >

Another day
with Ron & Franziska. It was
brilliant, I was totally city’ed-out and it was great to just get away again in
good company.
We went
first to the Aquarium, we had members passes, which is very good as it saved us

Also a
short one, mostly because I didn’t do too much... I got up late, wandered down
to get brunch, made my way to the SFMOMA, decided I wasn’t really in the mood
to spend 18 bucks meandering through exhibitions so checked out the gift shop
to ... Read more >

A short
one. Sunday. It was a beautiful, sunny day. So amazing to see Ron again after so many
years – 16 or 17?? – he hasn’t changed a bit.
Although, I’m sure he has, life does that to us, but he looked the same,
and we got on the same, ... Read more >

Just a
short blog... Sitting in my hotel room in San Francisco, it’s got one of those
over-bed fans – note to self, when I get my dream house/flat/someplace it’s
going to have one of those over-bed fans, a wooden one, or one like this in
white..... Read more >

A few days,
blogging silence... Been too busy, not been in the mood, and the hotel didn’t
have free wireless anyhow. But, I’ve got
23 hours to kill on the train now, and whilst the scenery is beautiful, there
is only ... Read more >

I’m writing
this whilst I wait from my breakfast -, or is it last night’s dinner? – at
Mary’s Diner on Davie. Mary’s Diner is
your typical stereotype, a juke box playing various rock (well, it might be
digital but it’s a juke box), plastic ... Read more >

Once upon a time there was a girl. She was a mixed up, confused and confuddled little girl, quite a stubborn, independant thing, with a fierce survival instinct and a will to succeed, whatever the odds. (Sometimes she thought, she was just like the ... Read more >

Actually, as so often happens with real postcards, this one isn't being written from Chiang Mai, but instead from a rather luxurious suite on the 52nd floor of a hotel in Bangkok. Yes, I seem to be back in Bangkok but this time only a pit-stop. And, ... Read more >

Well, Koh Phangan is MUCH more like it... Beautiful beaches, scenic postcard views everywhere. And its hot! Well, it keeps raining torrentially, but not today. And of course, mosquito spray doesn't work, using the plug-in mosquito repellent in the ... Read more >

FFS I have been writing this one for ages. And the internet ether has stolen it! Which, just goes to show, what kind of crap Bangkok is! The story went something like this... This one could have been called 'kidnapped in Bangkok' or 'I fricking hate ... Read more >

I was going to call this one 'bruised in KL' but thought that might make some readers smirk and others worry... But I can report I've just had the MOST wonderful massage at KL airport. Well, a girl's got to keep herself amused somehow when there are ... Read more >

Minus 3 days to my flight to Thailand... My life is packed into a 75 square foot storage locker in Hammersmith (and it is FULL!) and a 70 litre backpack (which isn’t absolutely full and weighs 17.2kg – feels like 117 though!)... Limbo right now.... Read more >
