So since the last time i blogged, i think it was my trek to Bottle Beach at the north, my legs are still bearing the scars and i have 2 cuts on my foot that are infected and taking their time to heal, they will be ok, just small really.
since then, james took me on the back of his bike again on one of my days off, he is totally brilliant off road! we went over some stuff that made the Haad Khom road look like childs play and he just takes it all in his stride and doesnt even think about it! and thats with passenger on back! he's brill, i really enjoy it when we go out for the day, he took me all over the other side of the island that is such bad dirt track that i wouldnt get to it otherwise, we went to the highest viewpoint ive been to so far, again bottle beach but from the other (right hand as you look to the sea) side. We had to walk over some very high up rocks and quite narrow - i loved it as usual and did it in my trusty old
crocks. Amazing view, best ive seen so far. then we went off to Thong Nai Pan for lunch and a beach session, James body surfed on some big waves but i have a new tattoo and a manky foot so couldnt play in the sea. We had a great day.
Was feeling ill at work, i seem to be turning allergic to the cats, Phong has prescribed me some antihistamines, but i was really bad again today. its like having the bloody flu, but i will keep on at it.
I also had some shennanigans at the local temple on the hill where our (current) house is. I jog up the hill sometimes and had joggedwalked up (too steep to jog much at all really), down and up again, and was just gonna watch sunset (James had taken me to show me where this is before, right on our doorstep!), another viewpoint across the jungle and bay. Anyway, i was up there all peaceful on me own fussing the 3 temple dogs, 3 chilli lads came up to see the view too, and the next thing the temple monk appeared in his orange robe and sort of railroaded
us into a lesson. He kept us there for like 2 hours - telling us how to medidate and not smoke, drink etc. We all looked guilty as we all knew full well it was Black Moon beach party that night!!! yeah - right! so anyhow, it then became pitch black and then we were asked for 200 baths each, but i had no money as was only out for a jog and a sunset! i sloped off and left the lads to face the music, it was well scary going down this huge hill in the pitch black and i called sheena cus i cackd it and she started to walk up to meet me.
well the lads were lovely and i saw them later at the Black Moon party. I first went from Coco gardens with Antoine but we sort of drifted about talking to people (Sheena was looking after a doomed kitten so didnt go), but then i spent most of the night talking with the Chilli lads as we saw each other and were laughing about our mad monk. I had a bucket of sang som as usual, and at some silly time in the
morning we all left, they were staying in Baan Tai too so i offered Phillipo a lift home, i got on my bike in the car park and promptly fell off it, grazing my palm and getting squashed under the bike. Phillipo and some Thais lifted it off me and Phillipo ended up giving me the lift home as i was innebriated. Well, at least i had my helmet on. anyway, we swapped emails and hope to keep in touch with the chillies as we had such a cool time at the temple and party. i saw em off in the morning.
erm, wot else, we went to the Coco Gardens xmas staff party last night! they were very sweet and invited us along, we had a lovely night at Big Mango (oo er), and then on the way home i stopped off at the sports bar and watched liverpool beat Marseilles 3 nil. we are moving house again on saturday, it goes from 8 grand a month each to 3 grand, so thats why. it happens to be next door to the sports bar (opposite coco gardens) so i can watch the footie (lee tells me when villa
is playing as im too crap to find out) so can play
pool and drink beer 500 yards from my house! its not a girly bar so not loud music like most of em. absolutely made up to be back in thong sala near coco again, altho will make sure i go and see james as will miss him as a neighbour.
we are still having lots of fun, meeting great people and the weather is hotting up. we cant wait for xmas, we are having the PAC staff over, and hopefully James will come, and will deck up our new house and have a few surprises for our guests. then we will eat drink and be merry hohoho. xmas on me and sheena at our new pad!
coco gardens are doing a pig roast and have said we can come over later if we so wish, we will see what sort of state we are in ! we are both bound to get all maudlin missing our friends and family at home. However, Bob and Jane are arriving in Kho Phangan on 24th, altho over the (inaccessible) side of the island! we have full moon party in
our adopted cat drinking out of sheenas toilet
