Sydney Storm #2
Here’s a short clip of the wild hail storm which brought such destruction to many parts of Sydney on Sunday. It was so wild and yet I was watching just the edge of the storm. Those who were right in the middle of it must have had a most frightening time, and feeling [...]

Got back to Chiang Mai on Saturday after a lovely couple of days up in Mae Sai. The drive back was really beautiful. The rice fields and forested areas were just lovely… green, really green., all the varieties of green you can imagine. Most refreshing!

Yesterday I had dinner with friends in Mae Sai. Their house has the most wonderful views of the mountains round about the city. This is just one such view, and taken just as the sun was setting. Beautiful!

I’m in the process of [...]

YouTube is still blocked here in Thailand. This is quite frustrating as I have a number of short videos uploaded there and there have been some comments but I cannot access the site to see what anyone has said. It looks as if YouTube must be blocked forever. Sad!
