3 Day Weekend

End of a long weekend, and a very pleasant one at that. Oi and I are trying to put our money worries behind us and get on with easy times. Also, Carole Hiver (Phillip's mum) has offered me 2 weeks work teaching hotel staff, so that could be quite fun and profitable.

Have been ploughing through Game of Thrones and loving every rich minute of it. I can't wait to find out what happens in book 2, remember I know everything about book 1 from the TV series. I even found a world map on the net and printed it off, so I can get a feel of the geography of this fantasy world. It's quite political with armies moving hither and wither, so it help put things in place

Watched a great Aussie flick today, "Black Water" about some folks trapped up a tree in a swamp infested by crocodiles - very real, very scary.

New Canada Mark, wife Jackie and 3 year old baby girl daughter, Noi came over last night which was very pleasant. His a a very chilled chap who earns extra dosh by kick boxing. His next fight has a prize of 10K, so he is really hoping to win.

Been keeping track on the financial world scene and listening to various folks take on it. This dame, Margaret Atwood (Canadian writer) has some highly listenable views.

Builders have arrived to fix our roof. I won't talk about the Chinese landlady trying to get us to pay for it and indirectly accusing us of cheating her. Only that she fits the mold of what I have come to expect of landlords in Thailand - utter cunts.

School tomorrow.

You will really enjoy teaching the hotel staff and they will really enjoy you. And the day you cut out the middleman(language school or whatever - who take a 50% cut min) you will be on handsome money. Well done.

Must check out Margaret Atwood.
