Songkhla

Had a fun little break in Songkhla this weekend.

We got there quite a lot so Grace can play on the swings and see the sea. Last time it was the zoo. This time it was the ruin that is Sea World - a classic example of a Thai run tourist attraction; sleeping staff slumped over desks, overgrown flower beds, decaying buildings, sad looking fish with a low life expectancy. But Hey! Grace doesn't know that. WE stayed in a nice cheap hotel by the night market which was fun. We bought Grace some toys and had some street food. We had some garlic sausage and a kebeb, both of which were awful. It think the vegan thing really opens you up for how shit most food you can buy is. When we got home I rushed down to the market and bought veggies for a salad and a green juice. I am amazed at how the best food for you can be really cheap if you know how to do it. All this stuff in the shops is expensive, tastes like cardboard and is toxic or dead.

Yesterday Oi called me out to see a massive cobra in the garden. It was a huge proper snake and deadly poisonous, about 4 foot long a nd 2.5 inches in girth. Scary. Eventually it scaled the garden wall and went into the uber-rich doctors grand palace garden.

Started a new veg patch. This time in all day direct sunlight. It will be another crop of Kale and the soil has been fed the waste from juicing for about a month so it should be super charged.

School fine and quite fun actually.






Politely refusing extra private work, much to the desperate annoyance of my second boss. Quite funny really. I'm just a teacher and doing it for the money. That's it.
