Its been a while PART TWO

Here is a very special picture. A small child fell into a river and was instantly set upon by hordes of scaled creatures. The locals refer to them as "fish". Apparently they are in most of the waterways in Thailand! Parents, you have been warned.

Peter is seen here with what scientists have called "The ULTIMATE Farmers Tan". The angry angry red of the fore arm is perfectly balanced against the shining milky whiteness of the upper arm. Also, this only happened on one arm. Truly a work of art.

Although we may be turning RED around the edges, we manage to prove that ethnically at least, we are the whitest people in the world.

This cat is awesome. It lives in the Sawadee Guesthouse and follows me everywhere. Cute you think? Peter is allergic to cats though. It had him trapped in a corridor one day and I had to rescue the cat from peter running at it screaming "GOOOO AWAY NASTY FELINE!!!!"
I found a way onto the fire escape. All I will say is highjinx ensued...
IRELAND CAKE!!!!! I bought this not for the taste, which was foul, but for the homesickness it provoked. But that might have been because it tasted foul. It was nice to be reminded about home by something that wasn't the bloody Corrs! Those guys are huge in Thailand. I wish I was joking but I'm not...
I have recently been honoured enough to have been given a Thai name. Its Kao- Neaw (Cow Nee- Ow). It means "Sticky Rice". Ok, its not exactly flattering, but its still an honour. I think...

I woke up with this on my arm. It appears to be permanent. MUM DONT LOOK!!!!!
Ok that's all for now folks. Amanda and Emma arrive in mere days (hours??) and there are preparations to be made!!
My Thai name is Mua Ping (Moo Ping) which means grilled pork.
ummmm....
YEAH!
Also the camera flash made the pinkness PINKER.
It's nice though.
