Today I got up nice and early, well 8am early anyway, and went down to the beach for a run and swim session. Ran about half a mile up the beach, which was hard work for a non runner, especially on sand! ;) I then swam back past the point on the beach ... Read more >

Went to the Rajdamnoen Stadium in Bangkok via tuktuk to see the Thai Boxing tournament on my last night in Bangkok. I had 'VIP' seats, which they basically sell to tourists, which meant I had front row seats for the event. The rough guide said it ... Read more >

After a superb sleep (thanks for the earplugs Annah!!! ;-)) I got up

Got up earlier today and went off to go to the Downtown area via the river ferry and skytrain with Chris. The river ferry was excellent, a great breeze and nice and easy to sort out, and amazing value for only 20 pence or so to go the whole length ... Read more >

On the 12th of January I went across to play in what was to be my last poker 'fix' before I travel. Driving over I really couldn't be that bothered, although because it was to be my last game, and it was an APAT game, I was still up for it, I just didn't ... Read more >

Well, emptying the flat is going reasonably well! I've sold some things on eBay that have been following me around for years, stuff that I really should have sold ages ago (old car tuning parts from my Fiat Coupe days etc). Handily I've made enough cash ... Read more >

some background on myself and these so called 'blogs'... it won't take

SJ survived the night and still had colour in the morning. This hotel was really comfy, went to bed late, but slept very well… We
met for breakfast, which for SJ was just a glass of orange juice. He is
