After a night spent dreaming of sharks, worst case scenarios and general underwater nastiness, chiding myself for being impulsive and reckless, and asking every friend I know that dives their opinion (thanks Kate), I dragged myself out of bed early on Saturday morning for the 7.00am start and the boat ride out to Sail Rock. … Continue reading Black Moon in Baan Tai – Part 2

Black Moon in Baan Tai – Part 1
So...its been a little while since I wrote. Has it really been 14 days already? How have you been? This will be a bit of a ramble as I catch you up, buuut I have my laptop back finally so I can actually type (that drama is worth a blog entry alone and I'll revisit … Continue reading Black Moon in Baan Tai – Part 1
Bump in
Crazy coincidences make travel so unexpected and fun. This a rambling tale but bear with it. Yesterday I travelled up to Chiang Dao, Northern Thailand - about 50km from the Burma border and just simply stunning mountains, rice paddy's and lush dense jungles. Imagine the Warrumbungles covered in dense jungle and tropical rainforest, veiled by … Continue reading Bump in
Nevermore
So 2014...that's when it started for me. There's a lot of history but let's start here. I'm going to overshare so trigger warning here if you are grieving. 2014 : L and I were engaged after an exciting, intense relationship. All was going well as these things do but we'd had some major setbacks. We'd … Continue reading Nevermore

My MacBook Air is no more. It is bereft of life, etc etc. I am devastated slightly and missing it's silky comforting touch under my fingertips. Last night its magical GPU failed, sending my display into an undecipherable test pattern of rainbow colours and kernel panicking my OS to death. The Apple online support guys … Continue reading Gpu blues

Settling in
So now I have wheels and another roof over my head. After procuring a scooter at a decent months rate (2500 baht, which isn't bad), braving the regular 5pm downpour and getting rather soaked, I was feeling pretty damn good. How could I not? Zooming though the bustling streets of the Old City of Chiang Mai with … Continue reading Settling in

OK so its been a little while, and I've been settling in and getting my bearings here in lovely Chiang Mai. This won't be a very entertaining post as I've just been feeling my way around slowly . Ive been staying in a guest house in one of the trendy areas but my housesitting gig … Continue reading First Class blanket
Airports
Well yoga course finished and I managed to avoid the goodbyes, trim my belongings down further and get to the airport without having to relive any sad farewells. The past week getting my head back into Svasha Yoga Therapy with Ganesh Mohan has been wonderful, challenging and so much fun. It's really helped pull my … Continue reading Airports
Airport farewells suck…
So what is this wordy stream of consciousness that I'm reading. Firstly it's from my perspective - it's as honest as I can be but if you are in it and don't like it, tough. This is my take. Secondly, it's therapy for me and hopefully entertainment or inspiration for you, depending on your circumstances. … Continue reading Airport farewells suck…
