Yesterdays Roses

Yesterday was my 40th wedding anniversary.No that is not completely true.It would have been, but then I was divorced on September the 7th,so I suppose I will have to start again from that date.Yes,I think I will do that because I like celebrating things. What do you think? Of course there will be no red [...]

The 18.11 from Hua Hin

It is stormy here in Thailand. In Hua Hin,we don’t notice it much, except everybody seems to know somebody that is stuck at the International Airport in Bangkok. I went with a friend to the Immigration Buro early this morning to make sure I wouldn’t have trouble leaving or getting back into the country again [...]

Christmas in Thailand

A lot of water has flown down the Chao Phraya since I last wrote a post.It doesn’t mean that I didn’t think about writing but I was experiencing so many different things,meeting interesting people and feeling a little like a Thai. No news is good news. With the help of new friends I was lucky [...]

Encouragement

Yesterday was one of those perfect late summer days,and my watercolour painting class took off to capture,or maybe not,the beauty of the nearby lake. Although we are now only four pupils the course still started again last week. My teacher congratulated me on my new size block of paper and large brush,and was indeed very [...]

A Bad Wife

Can’t seem to concentrate on anything these days. Time doesn’t flow by, it rushes like a raging torrent towards the last day of September.

I have grown out of the role of course,my daughters have long turned into my friends,which is I suppose as [...]

Mince and Macaroni

Yesterday we were invited to a friends’ Restaurant.He is a very good cook,in fact he graduated from the famous Ecole Hôtelière in Lausanne.That doesn’t stop him cooking plain,and inexpensive food well. So he made something for us which he knows my husband loves. A dish that just the title will start every Swiss abroad drooling. [...]

Carla Bruni- Sarkozy and Her President in England.

A State Visit to England always entails a lot of work when it comes to getting the brass polished, but what was shown yesterday for the visit of President Sarkozy of France and his new wife,- more well known for nude portraits, seemed to me as a Brit, and despite everything a Royalist, a little [...]

St Patricks Day is on the Seventeenth

Soon it will be time to wear “The Green” again. And as usual tears will come to my ears when I hear this song; Oh, Danny boy,the pipes,the pipes are calling, From glen to glen and down the mountain side. The summers gone,and all the flowers are dying, Tis you,Tis you must go and I [...]
