Happy New Year to one and all!

Back from a month in Thailand, I see that this blog was poorly treated in December. With the exception of one new poem(written in Thailand but published upon return) I made no entries. There is a simple reason - I find it hard to type into the blog page on a small phone keyboard and really couldn't be bothered doing so.

I took plenty of photos and had a lot to write about upon my return but alas, my phone was stolen last Friday night at the busy Chit Lom station in the Siam shopping district. I don't know if the pics can ever be recovered.

Ann's mum also broke her hip, meaning we were forced to cancel a trip to the north in exchange for long waits in hospital wards for a fortnight. But it's just as well we were in situ at the time, because someone had to pay the medical bills and render daily assistance. She is doing very well now after surgery, which is a blessing indeed.

I will try to give a Cook's Tour of what we did, without sounding like a travelogue in the near future.
