2 halos and a backpack.

Mood: Absent minded
Listening to: Excited divers returning from a trip

Having spent the last 4 months in a few square kilometres, it has been decided that a small exploration trip is in order. Plus there's a really hard-looking black and yellow spider that's set up web on the rear porch who really needs his own space right now.
So, the plan is: Phuket (town and beaches), Kho Phi Phi (where they filmed the movie The Beach) and then Krabi (limestone cliffs and that island that James Bond visited whilst tracking down the man with the golden gun, probably).
Briefly left behind will be two new arrivals - the kittens that Sabs was odds-on favourite to bring home. Unfortunately this computer currently being used is pretty archaic and won't allow picture transfers so pics will have to wait for now. The spider pics will of course be more interesting though.
In other news:
Birthdays. Jamie turned 33, and would like to thank everyone for the phone calls and messages they sent. Good to hear from you all.
More football. Played in a stunning setting in Pang Nga stadium surrounded by limestone cliffs and dramatic skies. The hapless westerners were spanked 4-2 by a pretty slick Thai team.
Cheese. After 4 months without any, Sabrina was delerious at the site of a slab of pretty average Cheddar and is still wearing a nicely satisfied grin hours after finishing it.
